Ypra woman bears their name.
Jurim put her hands on her hips. We have gotten them a
license for a maximum of four children. One can indeed bear
the name of your family provided that it receives a full share
of a Romack family member.
Done. Do you think they are going to stop that so we can
have dinner?
I think we need to give them a few minutes. We will
draw up the agreement. I believe the ratification sooner
rather than later is the best idea. I have a magistrate ready to
come out tonight if you are agreeable. Jurim Uramiss
smiled at the couple who were still locked together in a slow
but surprisingly chaste kiss.
The contract was drawn up for a daughter of the Uramiss
house taking the Romack son as her husband. The license for
children allowed four, and there was a governmental caveat
that would increase that option if the first children had
talents. The Uramiss family would grow in stature by having
more talents than any other prime family.

They pried the couple apart, and dinner was served.
Jurim watched her new granddaughter as she ate slowly
with her eyes locked on her mind mate.
There was no reason to delay. At the end of the night, the
couple signed their contract and it was official.
I expect you at the monthly dinner, Jimra. You as well,
Huros. You are family now. Jurim kissed them both on
their cheeks as they prepared to leave.
Jimra looked to Yoris. Monthly dinner?
You still have two weeks, Jimra. Take your three days.
Your new quarters are already prepared, and you have three
days to get used to your new husband. Enjoy your quiet
time together. Yoris waved for them to go.
As the couple left, Jurim turned to her son. You did not
know about her?
I did not. I don t even know how Orden got pregnant. I
was still subject to the treatment. It should not have been
possible, but there she is, and I am glad for it.
Jurim looked at her son and felt a trickle of pride. It
figures that you would manage to breed and declare for
same sex. You always were an over achiever.
I take after you, Mother. Good night.
She hugged him back, and when he departed, the room
seemed less bright.
Praxos came up to her and put his arm around her. Why
do you look so sad, Ju?
I just want him to find someone. Jimra is a start, but I
think he needs to find someone to love. He needs a partner
of his own, but I know he won t find one on Ypra.
Darling, you have given him all you could. The Citadel
is his best chance of finding love.
She nodded and leaned against her husband. He had been
there for her for the last seventy-five years, and she hoped
53

he would be there for fifty more. She wanted the same for
her son.

remor had the good sense to go off and explore the main
T
room while Huros and Jimra undressed each other.
Jimra didn t blame him, part of her wanted to hide.
The midnight blue dress with the sparkling stars
streaking across the bodice fell to the floor, and she undid
the clasps of his tunic. He had to sit to remove his boots, and
she unpinned the fall of her hair and removed her jewellery.
When they were both naked, they fell to the bed and
spent more time in each other s minds than they did in each
other s body. Jimra hadn t imagined the strange contrast of
having him inside her mind and her body at the same time.
She felt the wonder in his own mind as he felt her reactions
and the senses of thrusting and retreating blurred when her
sex became his and vice versa.
She blinked when the rush of heat finally faded and
pleasure completed its drumbeats inside her. Jimra ran a
hand through her hair, and she looked at him. What the
hell was that?
He chuckled. I think we need to learn to lock our minds.
They tangle so easily in this situation. I believe we would
enjoy it more if we didn t know everything that was
happening for the entire coupling.
She ran a hand down his chest and stroked him. Would
you care to try again?
Jimra closed her mind as best she could, and this time,
things worked much better. She could still feel it when she

gave him pleasure, and she made sure to pass along the
same information, so it provided them both with the
anticipation and uncertainty that heightened the experience.
The moment they curled together, Tremor joined them,
hopping up his stepped bed at the end of their mattress. He
waddled over and took his place in the curve of her body
while Huros wrapped his arm around her.
One weird, happy family. She smiled and stroked
Tremor.
Huros hadn t worn protection, but Jimra didn t want a
baby right now. She hoped that her lack of cooperation was
enough.
I feel complete, and I didn t realise that anything was
missing. He stroked her hair and sighed against her ear.
