Skylar's Guardians Read Online Free PDF Page B

sharing her with you,” Tralec admitted.
    “Is that what it is called? Can we share her without harming our bond?” Troy asked worriedly.
    “Not to worry, brother. Our bond is unbreakable. I do caution you about the cleverness of this species. She might attempt to set us against each other to gain for herself.”
    “Skylar? I cannot believe her capable of that. She is as sweet as could be.”
    “She’s in shock, injured, and deeply medicated. We will not see her true personality until she heals,” Tralec said wisely.
    “What if she is like that Paul? Then what?”
    “Then we do what we must to teach her how to behave properly. These manuals are very informative and show in detail what can be done to alter behaviors. It might take time and patience, but we will succeed.”
    “I have time, but patience?” Troy twirled his finger on the table as he thought it out. “We spank her?”
    “If she does not respond to instructions, yes. Only on the bottom region, though.”
    “I do like that region on her,” Troy grinned. “Thank you for talking with me.”
    “I am your pod-mate. Who else would want to talk to you?” Tralec grinned, earning a responding grunt. “Do you want to bunk with her then?”
    “I am still thinking about it. I must change the subject. Did you figure how to preserve the foodstuffs that are not in metal containers? I do not know how long that will last outside of the refrigeration unit I, uh, borrowed them from,” Troy asked.
    “Ordinarily I would scold for theft, but in this instance it was justified,” Tralec chuckled, sifting through the bag. He pulled out various pieces of fruit, bread, a roasted chicken, and vegetables and placed them in the synthesizing unit. He pressed several buttons and placed his palm on a black mirror to direct the process. The machine scanned the items and calculated the molecular makeup so it could analyze the duplicating sequence, beeping loudly upon completion.
    Tralec placed the items in a stasis unit and then studied the canned items that Troy brought. Several contained various liquids as well as preserved items and could be analyzed later when they were opened. The silver discs were then scanned into the mainframe for data collection, and the thin bound papers were laid open upon the table to reveal various poses of the species practicing sexual activities.
    “Manuals with images are even better than the worded ones, yes?” Troy asked, pleased that he had found such treasures. “They make my tool awaken.”
    “These are very… detailed,” Tralec said, thumbing through the pages. “And yes, they also have that effect on me. How strange… I have not had this response before. Have you?”
    “No. Not even with our biodrone. I am going to enjoy studying this little human with you,” Troy said with seriousness.
    “We must proceed slowly and gently. I was reading her manuals, and that term she applied to me is noted to be one of affection and submission.”
    “What was it? Daddy? What does it mean?”
    “It depends on the culture. A mature human uses it to show her respect to her protector and the dynamics exchanged. She can also use other names such as,” he referred to his notes, “Papa, Uncle, Master, and sir. There are other terms used in reference to females in the same role, such as Aunt, Mommy, Mistress, and ma’am. Some of them appear to intertwine, but others are for a specific situation. I don’t believe that pertains to us, though.”
    “Papa? I like that. May I keep it?”
    “Certainly. Of course, she must assign it to you. I do not feel that would be a problem. You know that you make her feel safe. She shows her teeth to you without a growl when she sees you.”
    “Isn’t that called a smile? We use the same gesture.”
    “Yes, but sometimes gestures do not mean the same to them as to us. For example, your gills…”
    “Lay off. I can’t help it,” Troy grumped.
    “I was not going to scold. I was just pointing out that your
