going on?"
    Gallywyn asked, his eyes lit with curiosity.
    "I didn't want to panic anyone." Tor said, idly
    stroking Naron's arm, an unconscious gesture that made his
    cock harden in his pants.
    Unable to help himself, Naron leaned over and
    kissed Tor on the lips. "Thank you for my life and everyone

    else's. If you hadn't listened to your dragon, we would all
    be dead."
    Tor shrugged. "I always listen to my dragon."
    "Always." That thought chilled him. "What if he
    tells you to leave the planet?"
    "Then I leave the planet," Tor said as if following
    his dragon's orders was the most natural thing in the world.
    "Do you have any control over him at all?" The
    thought of a space dragon running wild above them made
    Naron uneasy. Space dragons weren't known for their even
    temper, especially when dealing with their bondmates.
    "I don't control him. We don't have that kind of
    relationship. We're partners of a sort. He flies through the
    galaxies and explores new planets, and I work for my
    uncle. We don't have to be in the same area to work
    together. He can see through my eyes, and I usually see
    through his. That's why my eyes look so strange. They
    reflect whatever Baroy is seeing."
    "How far can you communicate?" Lord Gallywyn
    asked.
    Tor frowned. "What do you mean?"
    Naron patted the duke's hand as he tightened his
    grip.
    "I mean if he can go through galaxies, at what point
    38

    do you lose communication?"
    Naron remembered that Gallywyn had a
    background in the natural sciences and probably found Tor
    fascinating. Naron also found the man fascinating, but for
    far different reasons.
    "There is no limit. It's like talking in your own
    mind. You can't leave your own mind, so Baroy can't leave
    mine."
    Gallywyn stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I'd love to
    talk to you more about this later."
    "I'm at your disposal." Tor gave a short bow.
    "For discussion only," Naron said, glaring at the
    other man. He wasn't about to lose Tor to anyone else,
    especially another consort contender.
    Gallywyn gave Naron a small smirk. "Of course,
    Your Highness. I wouldn't dare trespass." He looked Tor up
    and down, his carnal gaze surprising in a man who
    appeared so shy. "Despite the temptation."
    "Let's get back to the castle for our midday meal. I
    need to report this cave-in to the mine director."
    "Don't take him to task, Your Highness. It was a
    shifting of the earth that caused the disturbance, not poor
    workmanship of the mine."
    "Then he will have to work on making sure he can
    39

    compensate for the shifting earth, won't he? We were
    almost killed down there. That isn't acceptable."
    Naron's heart pounded when he realized the
    ramifications of losing Tor in a mineshaft. What if the duke
    became separated and couldn't get help? A blind man
    buried alive in a mineshaft was enough to make Naron
    break out in a cold sweat.
    "You aren't allowed to go into the mines without a
    guide. That goes for everyone," Naron said, making sure
    the others saw his expression. "After what just happened,
    I'm having all of them inspected before we do any more
    tours."
    There was a round of nods from the others.
    "Would you like Dillon to consult with you?" Tor
    asked. "He's Crillon's twin. He has a specialization in
    planetary movement and structure."
    "I didn't know there was such a thing," Naron said.
    Tor smiled. "My men all get to choose a specialty
    when they come and work for me. Dillon has always been
    fascinated with the earth while Crillon here is more of an
    above-ground kind of man. He studied weather patterns and
    animal habitats."
    The pride in Tor's voice told Naron that the duke
    not only offered an education to his employees, he actively
    40

    supported them. No wonder his people adored him.
    Education was expensive and shifters rarely had the
    means to educate themselves. Their planets were too
    primitive to support formal schooling, and it was
