7. Veronica’s Future
VERONICA’S FUTURE
GAIRO
“I knew I’d find you here. You always sit under the stars when you’re troubled.”
Zyloxia had found me again. “How can you know that about me?”
“I’m your heart-mate. I know that you have a younger brother and that your parents died within the last year.”
I breathed hard, thinking about my amnesia and the prospect of family that I could not remember somewhere else on Aesirheim. I knew that Zyloxia couldn’t be my heart-mate, because I already felt the stirrings of my heart with Veronica, the mother of my babe.
Zyloxia came with her lips puckered, for a kiss, and I backed away.
“I have to get back to Veronica.”
“Have an affair. You just can’t remember me now, but you’ll regret it later.”
I didn’t think that I would. “Thanks for telling me that I still have a brother.” I’d have to look for him later. Genetic testing that I’d already done for my surrogacy match should help me find my brother later.

When I got back into the cabin, Veronica’s face was red. “Did you hook up with her?” She snarled, her hair a mess.
“No, sweetheart. We have a contract.”
“I don’t give a flip about that contract. If you want to hook up with Zyloxia and raise our baby with her…”
“I don’t want to raise a child with her. I chose you. We’re genetically matched to be together. I’m the one who tried to keep you past the contract, remember?”
In response, Veronica came to me and tilted her face up for my kiss. I bent my knees and sealed our mouths together. I could feel warm singing in my body; I knew that this feeling meant that we were heart-mates in truth. I just had to wait for Veronica to realize how good we could be together as we raised our young. I wouldn’t mind more than one new child with a human mother.
Wanting to shuck her clothing off in the worst way, I brought her to our bed. The cabins were made as love-nests, carefully planned to keep us inside as much as possible as we repopulated the planet with human females. I tugged at her shirt, ready to see her body bare for me.
In a few seconds, I had her topless. I attacked her throat in the way that she liked. She undulated beneath me, moaning in the back of her throat. I knew from experience that the wetness between her thighs was leaking from her core as I bit and kissed her throat. I scrabbled at the fastening of her pants as I fought to get closer to her wet core. I could scent how wet my omega was beneath me.
“I want to be inside you,” I murmured to her as she panted her way through an orgasm. I yanked at her panties so I could see the glistening wetness. Pushing her knees apart, I aimed my nose for her clitoris. She screamed as I made her peak again and again. She couldn’t control the restless movement of her hips or the wild bucking of her entire body. Her back was arching as if she had no control whatsoever. Her inner thighs were glistening with desire. I took an experimental lick of her taste; Veronica screamed in response.
“You’re so responsive,” I whispered to her. I started to attack her wet core, waiting for her to buck against my face. She didn’t disappoint. She was so wild in bed that I needed my hands on her hips, pressing her down so that I could get deeper with each lick.
“Take me,” she screamed. “I can’t take any more orgasms.”
It was my cue to stand up. “Do you want me naked?”
“Are you going to take that much time?”
I smiled down at her, feeling divine as she waited for me to get undressed. I took off my shirt slowly. I liked watching her heaving breasts as she struggled for control. Then, I took off my pants. She could see that my boxers were tented with need and desire for my heart-mate. I just had to convince her to stay with me.
Soon, we were one. I eased into her, touching her g-spot carefully. She was facedown in front of me and moaning like she couldn’t get enough. I felt like I was powerful. What could I do to hold onto this woman who already told me she’d leave?
