mainframe,” Kadan
    explained. “Place your hand on the
    box, sweetling. This will sting for
    but a moment as it updates the
    mainframe.”
    Raven was hesitant to do what he
    asked, but she did want to understand
    them. She placed her hand on the gray
    box as Savitar swept her hair away
    from the back of her neck. She felt his
    breath on her skin as he held the
    instrument up to the back of her neck
    and depressed it against her. Her
    neck stung for a second then her spine
    tingled, reminding her of the pain
    she’d felt when the lightning had
    struck her. The gray box vibrated
    slightly under her hand, and she felt
    lightheaded. She appreciated the way
    Savitar held her close to him,
    protecting her with his large body
    through the process.
    “It…feels weird.”
    “Just breathe, my queen,” Savitar
    said softly before he pressed his lips
    to her brow. “Let the L-CON
    connection merge into you. Be at
    ease, beautiful one.”
    Queen? Well, hell. The shocks just
    kept coming.
    The uncomfortable feeling faded
    and she opened her eyes to see
    Kadan and Savitar staring at her,
    their glowing eyes filled with
    concern. She fought the urge to fidget
    under their intense scrutiny.
    “Can you understand me, Raven?”
    Kadan asked.
    “Yes,” Raven replied then sighed.
    “This is real, isn’t it? This isn’t just
    some fucked up crazy illusion that
    I’m having due to being struck by
    lightning?”
    Savitar’s brow winged up at that.
    “You were struck by lightning?”
    “Yep, which is how I got here…
    wherever this is.”
    “This is Arcadia,” Kadan told her,
    again.
    She huffed out a breath. “Yes, but I
    don’t know what that means. And
    how the hell did lightning hitting me
    bring me here? Talk about a messed
    up mode of transportation.” she
    muttered.
    Kadan hesitated before standing. “I
    shall leave you with Savitar now and
    spare you my presence as you
    requested
    while
    he
    explains
    everything to you. If you have need of
    me you have only to think of me and I
    will come.”
    Raven almost asked him to stay but
    stayed silent instead. She watched his
    eyes dim with sorrow again and
    wanted to curse.
    She was not the bad guy here!
    Kadan looked at Savitar. “I shall
    join Tristan on the hunt. Send word if
    you need us.” He shot her one last
    glance of longing before leaving the
    room.
    Raven wasn’t prepared for the
    sadness that filled her as she watched
    him leave. A nudge on her leg had
    her swinging her gaze down to where
    Var was butting his head lightly
    against her knee. “You’re a big baby,
    aren’t you?” she cooed as she stroked
    the soft fur on the top of his head,
    making him purr loudly.
    Her hand paused mid-air as she
    shifted forward and her ass landed
    directly on what felt like a steel pipe
    nestled between the globes of her
    ass. Suddenly, she was acutely aware
    that she was still sitting on the giant
    alien warrior and his ginormous
    penis was hard and poking at her in
    demand.
    Savitar slowly lifted her body and
    set her next to him on the couch. She
    couldn’t help when her gaze shifted
    down and she gulped as she saw the
    large bulge in his lap. Fear mixed
    with arousal as the sight of what had
    to be the biggest erection she’d ever
    seen straining against the soft leather
    of his black pants. Savitar cleared his
    throat causing her eyes to shoot up to
    meet his. She could feel a blush
    staining her cheeks at being caught
    ogling his junk.
    “Ah…sorry. I didn’t mean to stare
    like that.”
    “There is no need to apologize for
    looking at what belongs to you,”
    Savitar replied softly.
    Well, hell…how did she respond
    to that? “Yeah, about that…” she
    began, at a loss for words. “What
    exactly does that mean? Kadan said I
    was your mate now, but I don’t
    understand.”
    Savitar nodded. “Ask anything you
    want of me, Raven. I will try to
    answer whatever question you may
    have and vow I will not lie to you.”
    Okay then. “Tell me what I’m
