Chapter 17: You Should See Me in a Crown
"We have a council meeting after this. I would like for you to join me," Logan told her when they stopped at their apartment. She was made to change into a more formal looking tunic and Logan matched her. Logan even put a matching tiara on her head.
Ellis felt very much like a Disney princess. She looked at herself in the mirror and had to appreciate how good she looked.
Through the winding hallways they walked, Logan told her about how the Council representing different ministries came to a decision and then presented it to the Emperor for him to sign or discard.
"The political framework seems easy but the relationships are difficult. Most of these people have been members since my parents were on the throne, so they consider me a youngling. It's hard to earn their respect."
"I understand," Ellis replied. She meant to observe and say nothing. She had no power at the moment, so she couldn't voice her opinions.
Nin strode forward a

“Get up,” a female voice called. Ellis swam out of sleep and pushed herself upright, glaring at Laurel. Every morning, Laurel would barge into their room and wake her up for the daily bath. Ellis and Logan usually played a very complex game somewhat like chess late into the night and usually spoke about their childhood and education, all small talk, and went to sleep so late that Ellis was barely functioning any longer.“I hate you,” Ellis muttered. “Why are you so energetic so early in the morning?” She made a face of disgust.The nest was warm and soft and sleeping beside Logan was a novelty. Every morning she would fake sleep for a few more moments to listen to his heartbeat and his body shaking with his purrs before waking up fully and facing the world. Usually, in his sleeping state, he would stroke her back and hair.He was fascinated by her hair for

Ellis lay limply in the hot bath, staring at a woman who was clearly pregnant. As she stared, a sudden thought passed her head. Her period had yet to come. A sliver of fear passed through her that she was pregnant before her rational brain reminded her that she had not had sex for a really long time.Then she remembered that she had been taken by aliens. So, nothing was impossible."Laurel?" she whispered. The other hummed. "I haven't had my period yet. Am I pregnant?" Laurel turned to her with a peculiar look."Do I have to go over the birds and bees with you?" she asked."Well, maybe you should," Ellis hissed. "Did they plant a baby in me or something?" She probed around her body to check for any newly formed bumps."No, it is the same insert pendrive in Slot A thing. Your period won't come. Something about genetic coding. Some earlier women get their period every four or five months, but apart from that, the new com

Ellis couldn't help but wonder how she ended up in this odd situation. Laurel was on her knees in front of Ellis (who was as naked as the day she was born), painting designs on her body."Why are you drawing?" Ellis whispered, feeling somewhat awkward. They were buddies who shared the same pool but this was beyond her comfort zone."It's a tradition," Laurel explained. "Zotheans lick off every single stroke of paint before getting to the real business." Ellis looked at her reflection in her mirror and felt a rush of embarrassment evade her."It sounds so lecherous yet lewd at the same time," she whispered."Oh, that reminds me. They don't understand the whole kissing thing." Ellis chuckled."Don't tell me... they bite." She was joking but Laurel just nodded. Ellis gulped as she remembered Logan's sharp teeth. They were wicked sharp."Don't worry about it." Laurel grinned. "Their bodily fluids act like hero

The ribbon had to stay on until they went to bed, so Logan took delight to take her over to the rarely used desk that had already been filled with plates of food. Ellis had been so nervous that she hadn't realized she was starving.She tried to pick up a piece of vegetable, but Logan stopped her. "It would be my pleasure to take care of you." He picked up a bite of food and placed it to her lips. She accepted it and chewed with enthusiasm."Delicious," she affirmed. She took bite after bite until her stomach was full. "Now, I will take care of my mate," she declared with a smile. Logan's tail flickered playfully as he opened his mouth. As he took the food from her, he gave her finger a little nibble. When she giggled, he pounced on her, knocking her back against the cushion."Not hungry?"

Safe to say, Ellis got mildly addicted to the high of her orgasms. She became so bad that Logan and she rarely ventured out of their nest. In the next ten days, they only separated to go to the bathroom and retrieve the platters of food given to them. It was only when Laurel banged on their doors demanding Ellis come out did Logan untangle his limbs from hers.The outside world existed. Ellis and Logan had an empire to govern. Without them, the citizens would be in a lurch.Ellis shame-facedly put on her clothes and hobbled down to the door. When it opened, she found Laurel grinning at her."Thank god. I thought you were going to starve in there." She rolled her eyes. "It's a wonder Logan let you out. Twelve days, seriously? You horny bastards." Ellis couldn't help but give a sly grin. It was nice to have a girlfriend whom she could joke around with. As she hobbled down the hallway, she saw Nin giving her amused smirks. Laurel was no better.&nb

A week later, Ellis woke up, curled up against Logan. It was too early. Logan was fast asleep so it was not his purring that had woken her up. She wanted what it was when a wrenching feeling shot through her.Nausea hit her and she scrambled out of the nest and ran to the bathroom. She barely made it in time. Logan was right behind her. He always woke up if she left, afraid that she was going somewhere without him."What is it?" he asked, worried.She answered by vomiting against, heaving until her stomach was empty. Yet, she just couldn't stop. Logan leaned down beside her and brushed her hair away from her face. He gently rubbed her back as she shuddered.When it seemed to be over, he reluctantly left her to get a glass of water. She sighed and took it gratefully from him, her throat burning. She couldn't even speak. She took a sip and swished it around to rinse her mouth. Thereafter, she took a small sip. No sooner had the cool

Laurel worked like clockwork. She came right on time to accompany Ellis to the bath but found her curled up against Logan, groaning. Logan stroked her hair, hoping he could comfort her."Come on," Laurel coaxed."I'm turning inside out. Leave me alone..." she groaned."Oh, you're pregnant," Laurel commented, surprised. She didn't say any more about how it happened and what not and left it to Ellis to explain later."Yes, any other disease could be cured, apparently," Ellis snapped. She felt horrible immediately. "The nausea is making me cranky," she explained."Don't lie. This is your real personality. You have been holding for so long. It is finally coming out!" Laurel burst into laughter.Ellis glared. "Go without me. I don't want to go...""Come one," Laurel insisted. "You need to.""Do I stink?" she whispered. She surreptitiously smelled herself but found nothing wrong. Were her senses da

In some sense, she probably was.Shortly after the announcement, Ellis lay in bed with Logan and drowned in misery. Usually, she loved cuddling with Logan but today she felt horrible. She hadn't been able to keep down any food and not even a sip of water. Just thinking about food made her want to puke.She stumbed and raced to the bathroom, gagging and retching.
