“Geris—”
The screen went black.
Chapter Five
“’Tis a naughty wench youare.”
Kara giggled. “I can’t helpit. Okay, Icanhelp it, but I’m getting back at my ‘brother-within-the-law’as you call him.”
“He will think usungrateful.”
“I am ungrateful. You’renot, but I am.”
Isar sighed. “The Emperor was caughtunawares by the Galian ability to communicate with naught but thepower of your minds.” He shrugged. “’Tis why he wishes me to ruleo’er Galis’ dominant moon.”
“But their way oflife—”
“—Will notchange.”
“Promise?”
Isar pulled his naked wife closer. “I canmake you no vows about Xaerja for I know naught of its ways, yet Ican vow to you the Emperor has no desire to interfere with the wayof life on Galis.”
Kara crinkled her nose. “I hear Xaerja ispretty spartan. I got my fill of spartan at Klykka’s.”
“Then we shall build themoon as we wish it to be.”
Kara warmed to the topic. “What do you thinkof Crystal City?”
“’Tis where I met you. Fora certainty do I love it.”
She smiled. “That was sweet and I feel thesame way, but I meant the architecture and technology andsuch.”
He shrugged. “I never gave it muchthought.”
“Well think about it. Ifell in love with the technology in Crystal City and thearchitecture is stunning. Imagine if we built those sameskyscrapers that are so tall you can’t see the top while standingat the bottom.”
“I would that they could beexactly the same. Leastways, ‘twould cost too many credits toimport crystals from Galis.”
“What kind of materials areindigenous to Xaerja?”
“A few things, but mainlythe bluetrellistone.”
Kara’s eyes lit up, much the color of thestone in question. “Oh wow. Imagine how beautiful those skyscraperswould be.”
“True, that. Leastways,‘tis a rare gem.”
“Just like its King. A raregem indeed.”
Isar smiled. He rubbed herbackside with one hand. “Does mynee’kathink to woo me into the bedfurs again?”
“We’re already inthem.”
His cock immediately stiffened, yet otherthoughts weighed upon him. “Afore we cause the entire ship to passout again…”
“I’m done doing that. Igave them a three day reminder of my power so I’mcontent.”
He stroked his hand along her back. Hedidn’t know how to say what needed to be said. Kara lifted her headto look at him, her expression questioning. “Isar?”
