blasted into nothing.
    Clean but tired, she stepped out and took his hand, walking with him to the bed that she had strewn with flower petals.
    He quirked a brow at her. “What is this for?”
    “Another silly tradition. The bouquet was losing its petals, so I thought of putting them here as a welcome home.” She reached for them. “They are stupid. I am sorry.”
    He stopped her before she could brush them away.
    “I think they are lovely, Hydra. Stop fussing and lie down with me.”
    She nodded and followed him onto the bed. “I am really glad you are home, Starburn.”
    “Me too.” He spooned her against him and caressed her hip. “I missed you, Hydra.” She smiled and snuggled back against him. He curled his arm over her and tucked a hand between her breasts. Curled together, they breathed as one and slipped into darkness.
    The honeymoon would have to wait until the morning.

Chapter Nine
    H ands were stroking her, coaxing her to wake up. They cupped her breasts and slid down her thigh.
    When she moaned lightly, the hands move with more deliberation. She smiled and arched her head back onto Caalos’s shoulder. She gasped his name as he slid a knee between her thighs and used the opportunity to slide two fingers into her.
    Hydra moaned and twisted. Her shoulders ended flat on the bed, which invited Caalos to suck each nipple in turn. He thrust his fingers, lapped and sucked on her breasts and the air around them shimmered with heat.
    His thumb found her clit again, and she cried out, lacing her fingers through his hair. She bit her lip when a shriek worked its way into her throat, and she stifled it as her orgasm bucked her against his hand.
    “I want to hear it.”
    She looked up at his hot eyes. “Everyone else can hear it as well.”
    He loomed over her for a moment before he lifted her onto his lap and settled her over his cock. “Tough. I want to see you, I want to smell you, touch you, taste you and hear you, wife.” She shivered at the combination of the heat of his skin and the heat in the weeping head of his cock as he slowly lowered her onto him. Her body fought his for a moment and then clasped him tight as he pulled her down on him in one torturous move.
    Hydra panted and held onto his biceps as he cupped her buttocks in his hands. He nipped at her lips, goading her into returning his kiss with light strokes and retreats.
    She lifted her head to his and leaned up, tilting her hips and letting her sink further onto him. She moaned softly, and he licked her lower lip before he whispered, “Just like that.”
    He kissed her lightly, lifting her and then flexing his hips as her weight took her back onto him. He lifted and dropped her again, never letting her go completely but supporting her as he set up a rhythm to their joining.
    She kissed him, his lips, neck, collarbone and chest as they rocked together. Each collision of their bodies drew a noise from her, and she gave them to him, one by one.
    The culmination of her orgasm was a low, groaning moan. She pressed her forehead to his shoulder and held tight to him as her body milked his with strong pulses. He shouted and held her hips with a bruising grip as his cock jetted into her.
    Her body continued to clasp and release him for minutes after they were both still and panting.
    A knock on the door caused them both to stiffen.
    Starburn yelled, “What?”
    “There is a message from the Nyal Imperial household. It appears to be a reaction to the formal wedding confirmation that we sent in.” Starburn sighed and stroked Hydra’s spine.
    “Come in, Tangle.”
    Funnily enough, from his angle, Hydra was completely covered by Starburn’s body as long as she didn’t move around too much.
    “The Imperial household would like a reply to their query at your earliest convenience.”
    “What is their query?”
    Hydra could see Tangle’s face as he winced.
    “They want to know why you are throwing your life away on some out-of-system whore.”
