Chapter 20: Drinking the Wedding Wine and Making a Run for the Bed
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
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 25: Royal Pregnancies are Fraught With Danger
It was a calculated move to make the announcement. Ellis and Logan spoke about it in detail and came to the conclusion that some stimulus in the economy would be good. With the rebellion, markets had been a little dry. So, when Logan made the announcement to his kingdom the next day, the galaxy erupted in celebration. Logan had projected the videos of people in various parties that occured around the kingdom.Well, color her impressed. She felt like a celebrity. 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. The point was, there was nothing to come up. Everything she had consumed had already been rejected by her body.Logan held he
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 26: Abandoning a Comfortable Life
Ellis put up a firm front in face of his worry. "Think about it carefully. Nin is sitting right outside the door. Arkan is here to make sure I don't need anything and he will inform you if I do. Moreover, Laurel will come over too. Nothing will happen to me." She paused. "You're close by, too." That seemed to appease him.He finally left but not before instructing Nin about how to keep Ellis safe. Ellis burst into laughter as she imagined Nin's patience wearing thin and the image of Nin hitting Logan in the face with her staff in protest.Arkan settled into his position by the wall. "You're not going to stay there, are you?""I must obey all orders given to me,," he declared. "The Emperor has never hurt me, but I do not wish to test his patience. Especially when it comes to his mate and young." He bowed deeply."Are all Zothean men like this with their children?" Ellis found herself asking. She was mildly irritated by the fussing, so she meant
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 27: Scars That Never Heal
Ellis woke up, crying. She dreamt of her parents at her funeral. The conversation with Arkan was to blame. It had been the one to drag that matter into her mind."What's wrong?" Logan asked, his voice soft and sleepy."I had a bad dream," she replied. "Don't worry. Go back to sleep."He scrubbed his eyes as he became more awake. "When children in Zothea get bad dreams, we speak about it. Legend says that if you say your dreams out into the universe, they will not return." Ellis thought about those words for a second and chuckled. Their cultures were not that different, it seems."I dreamt about my parents." In the dark, lying in the arms of the man she loved, the words spilled out of her mouth without pain. She had never told him much about her parents, so she suspected he had forgotten that she came from somewhere unknown. How fascinating."I never told you about them. They were government officials and worked fixed hours through

[Warning: This chapter contains R-18 content. Please read at your own risk.]"Stay right there," she demanded. "Don't move." She started to kiss down his neck."For how long?" he rasped.She reached the top of his chest. "Until I say so," she teased freely. She followed his collar bone to his arm and was delighted to discover that he reacted to her mouth in the same way she had on their wedding night. What a delight. When her tongue touched the crook of his elbow, he jerked violently, gasping something that the translation chip couldn't translate. She followed his rib cage, counting with his lips."Did you know you have twenty pairs of ribs?" she said, stopping her kisses for a while."No," he gasped. "I did not count before. Thank you for doing so in my stead."She peppered him with kisses and licks. "My pleasure," she said, punctuating with her touches. "You have eight more than a human.""I will g
