down to the planet once I have talked to my mate. I will only be a short time.”
    “You would do this for me after what I have done to you and your mate?”
    “How could you have known? Only men who are mated experience the yearning. Also, you are in no condition to be piloting a shuttle. My mate will understand. She claims there is an Earth 36

    saying, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ It has certainly made our mating interesting after my time every day in the detention center. I will definitely be making my time away up to her later.”
    “I appreciate the thought. But I am going to Tessa-jump.”
    “I don’t know if it’s wise.”
    Dragon’s body quaked at the thought of going down to the planet and uniting with his mate.
    He hoped the Goddess granted him the control he needed. He prayed for divine intervention because he knew if it was going to be totally up to him, he was fucked!

    Liz awoke later feeling hot and uncomfortable. The weather changed bringing with it hot, heavy air preceding a thunderstorm. She could already hear rumbling in the distance, and walked over to the window opening it wide. Once the storm hit the air would become much cooler, hopefully cooling her fevered skin.
    As the fierceness of the weather outside increased, Liz decided opening most of the windows in the house after being hot and bothered by her dream was not the best idea and went around shutting all of the windows. Letting the refreshing storm breezes cool the house is one thing, but mopping up rain puddles off hard wood floors is another.
    The house suddenly filled with an electric blue light that momentarily blinded her. The accompanying push of air through the living room window had enough force to push her back and rattle the rest of the windows in the house.
    “Wow, what a close one, the lightening probably hit a transformer.” She rubbed the spots from her eyes.
    While struggling with the window, she noticed all of the flowers in the front yard lying down like fallen soldiers all in one direction, like they were bowled over by a heavy object. She inched out onto the porch to investigate further. Ok, this is not the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
    Before taking another step, she reached inside and flipped on the outside light. The soft glow took away some of the darkness making her a bit braver, even though every horror movie she’d seen whipped through her brain on fast forward.

He stood cloaked in the shadows, unmoving. She felt his focus never waver from the spot where she stood illuminated by the porch light. Her breath caught in her throat and she felt her stomach flip.
    After seemingly waiting so long for him, he now stood right in front of her. Liz stared at the man who was her mate. The faint light illuminated his Native American features to perfection, taking her breath away. Even the eye patch and scar took nothing away from the beauty of his face. His eye color so dark it looked almost black. His expression caught her by surprise and thrilled her to the core. He looked at her with such hunger; she was surprised the clothes on her body didn’t go up in flames. His long, black hair hung down his back like a river. Standing at the bottom of the stairs illustrated how big Dragon was, he was as tall as she was standing at the top. My God, she felt petite standing next to him. Her eyes roamed his naked chest. The man didn’t have a six-pack; it was more like a twelve-pack. She planned to learn every nook and cranny of his muscular chest and stomach. She planned
