“What do you mean?”
“She knows that alphas and omegas get together via the Blind Date Corp.Riithan and Ylara aren’t making any attempts to hide it, nor are Heraina and Misker.”
“Oh.Right.Well, I am not an omega.”
He chuckled softly.“You are a woman with a ravenous sexual appetite twice a year.That is close enough.”
She snorted.
“So, what are your activations?”
“Well, I have a physical appearance, one that I am sure of.Tech manipulation, which includes my raiding of computer systems.Metal shaping is different than tech manipulation.And I think I developed some blades, so I am definitely not going to the stronghold.”
“The sixth?”
“When I choose to use it, I have mental shielding.”
“Ah, right.It isn’t up now.”
“I don’t hide things from you.So, are you going to recommend Jienne to a female minder?”
He chuckled.“How did you know?”
“She has the vibe that she attaches to male psychics.It isn’t malicious, but it is a definite thing.”
“I made the call, and she started talking to the woman in the drive here.That is why you wanted to get Kessie out of the way.”
“Yup.She needed to be able to describe her situation to someone she trusts, and she trusts male psychics.”
He nodded.“That was my assessment as well.Thankfully, she didn’t make a move that I had to rebuff.Your face threatening her was in her mind whenever she considered touching my arm or thigh.”
“Oh, yeah, I made that clear.”She smiled.“Glad she listened.”
He chuckled.“So, when can I kiss you?”
“We are far enough from the front, and the trees are blocking everywhere else; I think it’s safe.”
Sorooth grinned and lifted her for a kiss.
Keska wrapped her arms around his neck, hung there as their lips met, and reminded herself what he tasted like, and he did the same.
Keska lost herself in the kiss just as she had from the first time he had kissed her and every contact since.Sorooth had wrecked her ability to take another lover.He was the only one she wanted from that first date.
She felt his hands on her thighs, lifting and holding her against him under the skirt.The kiss went on and on, and then he paused, his mouth forming a grin.
There was a soft giggle and a snort nearby.
Keska sighed and turned to look at Kessie, still on Nigel.“Hello, Kessie.”
“Hello, Mama.Aunty Caska says you are to get your frisky butts to the house.”
“Right.”She looked to Sorooth.“Down elevator.”
He sighed and slowly shifted his grip to her back as he let her slide to the ground.
She stood and patted his chest.His body was taut.
“Come on, Mind’s Eye.Let’s walk that off.”
