“I was speaking to Commander Sylvan,” Kaelus pointed out.

“And now you’re making excuses.”

Kaelus sighed.

“Forgive me wife, what can I do to make this offense up to you?”

“You know what you can do. You need to serve your goddess.”

She sent him the mental image again, only this time Kaelus saw himself laying back on the bed while his curvy little wife straddled him, riding his tongue and feeding him her juices.

He had to bite back a groan as his cock surged in his trousers again.

“You have to stop doing that—we’re in a meeting!” he sent. But he didn’t really mind and he knew she knew it.

Sylvan appeared to be watching their mental communication because there was a knowing smile playing around the corners of his mouth.

“Then I’ll consider the matter settled,” he said. “You’ll retain the laboratory exactly as it is.”

“Not exactly,” Clair said.

Kaelus turned toward her suspiciously.

“What does that mean?”

“The tape is coming up.”

He frowned.

“No.”

“Yes.”

“We discussed this.”

“We did, and I won.”

“That is not how discussion works,” Kaelus protested.

She gave him a smug smile.

“It is when I’m right.”

Kaelus looked at Sylvan.

“Do you see what I endure?”

Sylvan spread his hands.

“You Bonded her. I’m staying out of it.”

“A wise decision,” Clair said.

Kaelus shook his head, but he couldn’t stop the warmth spreading through him.

Months ago, the idea of Clair ignoring his laboratory rules, invading his carefully ordered space, and moving equipment across the dividing line had irritated him beyond measure.

Now the idea of walking into the laboratory without her there was unbearable.
