me you can’t handle that insignificant man?” Glendar was unhappy and it filtered into his tone.
    “I can handle it but we may not have trade with his world anymore.”
    “Lead with that. The man is greedy and he is trying to fake you out. His children are raised in a hovel and she never saw a doctor before she got on our ship.”
    “He told me she was promised to a man on their planet.”
    “She told me he planned to sell her to the highest bidder.”
    “Truly?” Stevr exclaimed with shock in his tone. “How could he?”
    “We will never understand since our parents loved us. I don’t think he cared much for his daughters. What’s more he wanted a son and only had daughters.”
    “Fate punished him.”
    “Not enough if you ask me.”
    “I will contact him and pull all trade if need be. You can count on me to deal with this. He will cave to our wishes or we will pretend his planet doesn’t exist.”
    “Thank you Brother.”
    Glendar hung up with much on his mind. He knew Bernie wanted to bring her sisters here. They could only get them as they came of age and once they took a couple, he would be alert and prepared to prevent them from taking more. As much as he hated to deal with the slimy toad of a man, if they could break him down where he feared to lose their business maybe they could make a deal with him.
    Bernie walked along the shore with the wind blowing in her hair. Making her happy would mean much to him. He hurried to catch up with her. It was a struggle to decide whether to share her father’s antics with her but he knew she would worry so he decided not to. After a while he led her back to the house where they ate lunch. She had him show her what little he knew about cooking making him suspect she planned to try to cook herself.
    Now they were full and he wanted them to talk about mating. He was nervous, maybe delaying it hadn’t been the wisest choice after all. “Would you like to take a bath? If you would we could relax in the hot water, have a drink, and discuss our future.” Did that sound as lame as he thought it had?
    “Alright. What should I wear?”
    “We can just wear our underwear.” He suggested.
    They both took off everything else and he hurried in to the bathroom to turn on the water. Glendar went to fix them something to drink and he came back to check out the water temperature. It was his hope he could seduce his mate and convince her to mate with him now. She would be able to lean on him more as his mate because she would need to when she found out her father wanted to get her back. If he was honest, he wanted his female now and he didn’t want to wait either.
    Bringing the drinks into the room, he saw she was in the large pool that was his bathtub. The water was up to the halfway mark but Bernie played and splashed about in it. She reminded him of a child and he was sure she’d never been able to play so freely when she had been a child. This was the female he wanted forever. Setting the drinks down beside the pool, he walked down the steps into the water. She watched him her eyes clinging to every step he took. There was chemistry and attraction between them in spades. He just needed to light the fire in her and they would combust.
    “I brought us drinks.” He explained and he moved to where he’d set them down. Picking up hers, he handed it to her and watched as she took her first taste. Her smile burst forth and he was certain she liked it.
    “What is it? It is sweet and good.”
    “It is made from some berries that grow in this planet. Some are black, some blue, and some red. The black are the sweetest and the blue are tangy.”
    “So the red are in between?” She asked smiling.
    “They are. A mix of all three makes the tastiest drink.”
    The water filled up to the lip of the pool and he turned it off. They both sat on a bench and sipped their drinks while they relaxed in the hot water. Glancing over at her he noticed her eyes were half closed and a smile
