and recycler in it, so she felt comfortable running it until her body was red with the heat, but the semen and musk that coated her was gone.
    They were waiting for her when she came out wearing a towel and wet hair. Three huge male lions sat with tails lashing and expectant looks on their faces.
    Zoe tapped into the thoughts in her mind. She could see herself through the images that they projected and it came to her that this was the communication that she would have to get used to when they were shifted.
    She put an image of the bridge into her thoughts, as well as them in their uniforms with wet hair. Trin shook his mane and Leos bared his teeth. Jarix just settled down into a lazy crouch and closed his eyes.
    She shrugged and went to her clothing. One of them had folded it neatly at the foot of the bed. She inhaled and smiled. Trin. He was the neat freak.
    She chuckled as she wiggled her feet back into her socks. She did so love the fluffy feel of the socks that her dad had made for her. Comfortable clothing had always been a fetish of hers. It was why the suits on her ships were made of the sturdiest but softest fabrics she could manage.
    Zoe tried to put on underwear, but her skin was too sensitive. "Commando it is." Her ship suit was barely tolerable, but it wasn't as if she could ignore the fact that there were another seventeen people on the ship. A chemise and high heels wouldn't set the right tone.
    Her stomach growled and she changed the image in her mind to one of the dining hall. They were at her side in a moment.
    "T'shnadar, how many of our guests are up?"
    "Zoe, they are all gathered in the dining hall. Maasha is letting the other females feel her belly move."
    Zoe chuckled and led her males out of her quarters. She was more sensitive to scent, as well, this morning and it was easy to follow the other blenders into the dining hall.
    Her men followed her and looked hopeful at the dispensers.
    "Listen guys, lionesses may do the hunting in the wild, but here, you get your own meals. Up on your feet. Your people feet."
    Zoe made her own selections and smiled at her guests. The ones who had taken to their beds the night before were a little shy, but when Jarix took a seat and then lifted her into his lap, they relaxed.
    Maasha was surprised that the truth of the previous day was the same in daylight. "So, you are one of us."
    Zoe chuckled and reached for her tray, dragging it close so she could get purchase with her fork. "Yes. Well, I am one of them to be precise." She waved her fork at her men.
    Trin and Leos smiled. They were wearing their Horcross trousers. The same ones that they had had on in Dorsos's facility, but there was no overwhelming stench of musk, so they had to have run them through the cleaner.
    Maasha took the seat across from her. "Can I take you up on that offer for a medical scan?"
    "Sure. Are you having any trouble?"
    "A slight backache. Nothing to worry about." She waved off the worry.
    Zoe piled her food into a sandwich and waved at Maasha. "Come with me. We will do it right now."
    "No. I don't want to interrupt your meal."
    Zoe grinned and got off Jarix's lap. "I have eaten before and will again. If there is anything going on with your pregnancy, this is the time to find out."
    She took her sandwich with one hand and Maasha's hand with the other, leading her gently to the medical bay.
    Liiro got to his feet and followed them, a few steps behind.
    Zoe felt her own men gather some food and trail after them. Whatever was going on, they wanted to be a part of it.
    The walk to medical was short, but Zoe managed to stuff most of her breakfast into her face before she helped Maasha onto a scanning bed. She quickly washed her hands and then returned to the controls.
    "T'shnadar can do this, but I prefer to handle the scans myself. Maasha, relax. This will only take a moment." Zoe keyed in the command for a general scan and then stood by to watch the beams analyze Maasha from head to toe.
    As data
