started to come back to herself after leaving her body and whirling through the stars. The best part had been that Tonos was with her, and when he looked into her eyes with his own clear, green ones, she leaned up, kissed him and whispered, “One.”
His grin ceased before he pinned her to the bed and rolled her to her side. As he lifted her leg and entered her again, she shivered at the intensity that rolled through her.
By morning, the count was up to five, and it only stayed there because she was not willing to have him with her in the lav. Having a seat on the vanity to allow him in was tempting, but she was sore, sticky and as she told him, “There are so many more days before us.”
When she tiptoed out of the lav with a sheet covering her, Tonos smiled and gestured to the delivery slot. “There is a new dress for you as well as some shoes.”
With a little help from him, she managed to get herself dressed as a woman of the People of the Air.
“How do I look?”
He grinned, pulled her in for a kiss and said, “You look like mine.”
She laughed. “I am glad that you think so, because we are going to have to go to Gaia to prove to my family that you are mine. Ziggy may be held her as the Potential, but I am not, and my mom is a little confused as to why I would fall for a man I had just met.”
His normally cocky behaviour wobbled. “You want your family to meet me?”
She started to laugh and slowly trailed her fingers down his chest. “We can live here, work here, do whatever you want to here, but they have to see us, to see us happy.”
“Are you happy?” There was vulnerability in his eyes that caused an ache in her heart.
“I cannot imagine me feeling more for anyone in the universe. If that is not happy, I don’t know what is.”
He chuckled and spun her around in his arms, and despite the discomfort, they managed to get up to six.

“Are you happy that she is here, Signy?” Rothaway caressed his mate’s creamy shoulder in the early light of the ship’s dawn.
She smiled up at him, and the glow of happiness coming from her features nearly blinded him. “I am so very happy that she is here. Will there be a problem with the People of the Air for having one of their princes taking a Gaian to wife?”
“If there are, Tonos will handle it. He has always known what he wanted and that it did not reside on his home world. Perhaps coming out here was fate, destiny or just good planning on his part. All I know is that now that she is wed to him, my mate has more time for me, and so in that case, I wish them all the love in the worlds…that we are not using.”
Signy reached up to him and pulled him to her with her rapidly increasing strength. It may be coincidence, but she had more Wilder characteristics with every passing day, and to be honest with himself, Rothaway couldn’t be happier.
Author’s Note
Accepting is about knowing your strengths and weaknesses and learning to count. That is very important.
The next instalment, Hiding , will take place at the reception on Gaia for Tonos and Tiera. Sometimes hiding in plain sight is the best bet to find the man of your dreams…but remember, all trees are not trees in the presence of the Nine.
