  Though confusion is running through me, I answer, “I want it, Kerr. I want it more than anything I’ve ever wanted.”

  His hand grows hot on my stomach as he plunges into me deeper than before. Harder than before and his face begins to glow.

  He’s hot to the touch. My hands on his large biceps begin to burn as his body turns golden. His breathing is hard and rough and his heart is pounding so loud I can hear it even over the sound of the waterfall.

  Through the hole in the top of the cavern, a burst of white light comes in and hits Kerr in the middle of his back and he makes this terrible roaring sound which fills the huge caverns and echoes off the silver walls.

  Then I feel it. His cock jerks and maybe even twists from how it feels inside me. I scream as the extreme heat burns as it enters me.

  “Kerr! What’s happening?” It’s so hot I try to get away from him.

  I’m pinned between him and the floor. It’s so hot and it doesn’t stop. The pulsing keeps going and more fluid comes into me with each jerk of his huge cock which feels like it’s gotten even bigger while it’s climaxing.

  His teeth are clenched and his eyes are closed. Then the glow starts to fade. The beam of light goes away, and the heat begins to subside.

  And in that instant, one quick flash of the face of a small girl, with long dark hair moves through my mind. “I’m pregnant, aren’t I?”

  His body cools and the glow is gone, and he looks at me, his blue-green eyes less intense. His hand runs over my cheek and he smiles.

  He doesn’t answer with words. Instead, his lips take mine gently and he rests his weight on me. It’s a comforting burden. An oddly comforting pressure on me.

  I am going to be a mother!

  ...

  Lying naked underneath a tree on the bank, I look up into Kerr’s eyes. His fingers gently stroke my stomach. “In six thousand and four hundred hours you will have our first child.”

  “Wow! I had no idea it went that way, Kerr. So you knew all along what was going to happen when you brought me here?”

  He smiles sheepishly and nods. “I had heard about this planet and when we stopped here on our way to Earth I scouted around on my own and found the spring and the cavern and knew that’s where I wanted to make our first child.”

  “So you can make them when you want to?” I narrow my eyes at him. “Like, baby on demand?”

  He laughs. “I guess you could say that. When we get ready to have children the men have the ability to draw the egg to the right place inside the female. Then we focus really hard and bring out the sperm and super-focus it. And that’s how it happens.”

  “But on your planet the couples only have two kids each, right?” I ask not really understanding the process.

  “Yes, but our females only carry two eggs and you carry more than that. So we will see what’s in store for us.” His hand runs over my cheek. “You glow with our child already, Baby. I can’t wait to see her.”

  “Her? Are you able to control that as well?”

  He nods. “Tell you what, though. You can pick out the next place we make our next child and you can tell me what you want the baby to be and I’ll make sure I focus on that sex. It’ll all be up to you next time. The when, the how, and the what. Even though technically it’s up to me, I’m giving that to you as a gift.”

  “And what a gift that is, Kerr,” I say then pull him down to kiss me. “You are amazing and I’m lucky to have you. I cannot believe I’m going to be a mother.”

  He kisses the tip of my nose. “And you will be magnificent. I know you will.”

  “Kerr, this day has gone so well. Not a single twinge of pain have I had since we landed here. Perhaps we should never leave,” I say with a smile, knowing we have to leave.

  “If it were so easy, we would.” He frowns. “I need to get to the communication building at the port and see if I can get in contact with one of the guards we left to defend the palace.”

  “Perhaps you could get some insight into what’s happening there.” I smile and try to get up to leave.

  He holds me down. “Where are you going?”

  “You said…”

  His lips touch mine. “Not just yet, Baby.” His hands run over my sides, leaving warm trails behind them. “I want to taste you before we go back to the ship. I want to taste every sweet inch of your luscious body.”

  My arms run around his neck and my hands fist into his long hair. “Oh, well, I think there’s time for that then.”

  With one hot lick up the side of my neck, my body melts and he takes me away from this place and into the world only he and I know.

  And what a world it is!

  CHAPTER 4

  Kerr

  My stomach tenses with the guard’s words I hear coming from the communicator in the building at the port on Honra.

  “Caleb is here, Sire.” One of my most trusted guards, Zan, tells me.

  “Is he the one who started this?” I close my eyes and rub my temple.

  “No, Sire. He has committed to help, though. He is the new leader’s top advisor.” Zan’s voice is low as he’s hiding from whoever it is who has taken over the palace.

  “Tell me who it is, Zan. I need to know what we’re up against.” I wait and when no answer comes I say, “Zan, are you against me now too?”

  I cannot believe the man would stab me in the back. I never saw this coming. Not in a million years.

  “No one is against you, Prince. It is the King, and I have been sworn to secrecy about telling the leader’s name. A Euthenian. Just know as long as you do not try to defend your father, then you will be left alone.”

  “How can I not defend him, Zan? He is my father!” I begin to pace as my head is starting to hurt with how many people want my father dead.

  When did the Universe turn against him?

  “Once you come home and find out the truth you may not be so ready to defend the man who is your father, Prince. I wish like hell I could tell you everything. I really do,” Zan says then he whispers. “I must go. See you in a week, I pray.”

  The connection terminates, and I am left looking at the wall full of colorful pictures of all the different flowers on this planet.

  Zan didn’t seem upset about the take-over of the palace. Not even a little. And what is Caleb doing there? He went to the settlement because he wanted to.

  I invited the man to stay with us at the palace and enjoy the same type of life we did. He wanted to go out to the wilderness and live a simple life and find a simple wife.

  So why the change of heart just as the Earthling’s start an uprising?

  Caleb was like a brother to me and here he is all a part of it. I find my feet taking me to my father. He has to have an idea of who it is that is Euthenian and has such a hatred for him.

  In the shop at the front of the port, I see Kataline with my Aunt Nar. They seem to be picking out seeds and laughing as I walk up and take my aunt by the arm.

  “See her to the ship when her purchases are done. I need to speak with my father. It is no Earthling at the head of the uprising. It’s a Euthenian and one with a special hatred for my father.”

  Nar’s blue eyes go wide in shock. “Who would do such a thing?”

  I shake my head. “Zan could not tell me. He told me I could not defend my father, though. So I thought you should know that as you are one of his best supporters. I want you to stand down and let me handle it. I don’t want you hurt.”

  Her hand runs over my shoulder. “Nor I you, Kerr. But we can’t allow your father to be hurt either. Your mother would roll in her grave if we allowed anyone ever to hurt the man she loved more than life itself.”

  I nod in agreement but have no clue what we can do. “We do have many royals and guards behind us. Maybe we could manage to take them down. I don’t know. I guess this next week I’ll try to figure things out before we land on Euthenia.”

  With a nod from Nar, I walk away to talk to my father. “Wait, Kerr,” I hear my wife
call out.

  I turn back and raise a brow in question. She makes her way to me and places her hand on my arm. “A name for our daughter has been running through my head a lot. I mean it has been there for a while now. Well, since we got on the ship as a matter of fact, but anyway, it’s Gleeu. We could call her Glee for short. Doesn’t that sound adorable?”

  My heart stops. “Did my aunt tell you my mother’s name?”

  She shakes her head. “What is it?”

  “Gleeu,” I say. “That is not an Earth name, Kataline.”

  She looks down at the floor and seems upset. “No, it’s not. It just came to me. Seriously. When I got on the ship it popped into my head. It’s been there since then and I recall it often. If it’s her name, we don’t have to use it. It was just an idea.”

  “We’ll discuss it later. I need to talk to my father. Nar will see you back to the ship,” I say then leave a kiss on her cheek.

  I turn around and take in a deep breath. The odd things just keep on occurring.

  How did my mother’s name pop into her head the very moment she walked onto the ship?

  My father sits in the courtroom with the captain of the Armada and a room full of guards. “Glad you could come and join us for the meeting to decide what our tactic will be once we reach Euthenia,” my father says.

  I look around and say, “My father and I need to talk. We can meet at the third moon before we go all the way back to Euthenia. There we can convene and discuss things. I’m not entirely sure going in with guns blazing is a good idea. I have found out it is not the Earthling’s who have taken over. It is one of our own.”

  The men look confused, and the captain asks, “Do you know who?”

  I shake my head. “My guard couldn’t tell me. There are some Earthlings at the palace and one has been named as the leader’s top advisor. Caleb is a warrior. He is a man to be taken seriously. And his devotion to the leader, a Euthenian, over us, has me concerned.”

  My father shakes his head. “Not Caleb. He was such a good man.”

  “I know. And I, for one, am not ready to forget about how much we all respected one another. There has to be something we can do to get this uprising under control.” I pace back and forth as my father begins to pour a couple of drinks.

  Amazingly, he hands one to me and I place it on the table nearest me. If the man thinks anything he hands me will pass through my lips again, he really has gone mad.

  His eyes rest on the full glass I sit it down and he says, “Your trust in Earthling’s is misplaced, Son.”

  I cock my eyebrow at him. Too many people are around us for me to disgrace him with the words he recently told me about him most likely having the blood of an Earthling in him.

  The men leave us as I’ve requested and I eye my father. “I wanted no one else to know about this. But it is you they want, Father. I was told if I tried to defend you it would hurt me. Now I need you to reach back in your mind and think about anyone you may have done wrong to. In their eyes, at least.”

  The fact my father takes a seat and taps his finger to his brow as his fingers go from one to two to three tells me he has, at least, three people he can think of right off hand.

  “Fantastic! There’s a list, Father?” I walk away from him and go back outside.

  I need air. Lots and lots of fresh air.

  What has he pulled down on us all with his ways?

  With long strides, I go back to the communication building and try to contact the palace once again. I need more answers.

  Someone answers my call from the communicator. “Kerr?”

  The voice is Caleb’s and my heart just stopped. “Caleb.”

  “Kerr, it’s good to hear your voice. I wish things were better.”

  “Caleb, can you tell me anything? Anything at all, friend. Brother.”

  “When you come back, come unarmed. Leave your father in the ship and allow us to deal with him. No one else has to be hurt. No one else has to die.”

  The silence between us is deafening. “Caleb, why?”

  “The one he did the evil deed to will explain everything to you upon your arrival. As long as you do not attempt to defend your father. That person needs to know you stand with them, against your father, Kerr. And I am telling you to do it. You will not be sorry if you place your faith in the one who has taken over the rule of Euthenia,” Caleb’s voice is strong and full of truth.

  Yet this is my father we are talking about.

  “I don’t know if I can do it without knowing who has taken over. Who am I placing so much trust in? Who want’s my father dead? A name is all I ask.”

  “And that is all I cannot give you, Kerr. You must trust what I am telling you. Leave your father on the ship alone or with those who stand with him. We will deal with him and those people alone and no others need to be hurt. Your life will be back to normal before you know it. Only a better normal than before.”

  My heart is pounding. My body is sweating and I have no idea what to do.

  “Is there nothing else you can tell me, Caleb?”

  “I have been told there is a secret weapon which will be unleashed. I have no idea what it is. I have been told it has been programmed for the utter destruction of the King and all who defend him.”

  “Any idea when this will take place?” I ask as I run my hand over my face.

  “Sometime after you land here, Kerr. So once you land get the fuck off that ship as quick as you can. Get all who you care about off the ships and as far away from them as possible. But make sure your father is secured somewhere inside your ship. I’m pretty sure anyone who is left in the ship will be trying to help him and they will meet their end as well.”

  “Thank you, Caleb. Seems I have a big decision to make.”

  “Please make the right one and come home to us, Brother.”

  The connection ends, and I am left once again with an empty feeling inside me.

  Am I to blindly follow one I do not know and turn against my own father?

  “Kerr,” Kataline’s sweet voice comes from behind me.

  I look down at the floor. “How much of that did you hear, Kataline?”

  “Most of it,” she tells me. “Kerr, you know what you have to do.”

  I spin around and face her. Anger flashes inside me as I throw my hands into the air and shout, “How can you stand there and say that so damn easily? You carry our child. Tell me how you would see it if she was asked to turn her back on me, her own father and let me die!”

  Kataline’s hands cover her face. I feel horrible immediately. But she is acting as if it’s so easy to turn your back on one you’ve only known to have loved you your whole life.

  I take her hands from her face and kiss her palms. Tears flow down her reddened cheeks. “I am sorry, Kerr.”

  “You speak in voices which are not your own and talk of killing my father, Wife. In your sleep, you do this. And now there is a person who has taken over the rule of our planet who also wants my father dead. A man I have grown to love and trust with all my heart. A man who also knows my father well and was treated like a son by him has asked me to incarcerate my father and leave the ship so he can be destroyed.”

  Kataline blinks at me without speaking. Then she shakes her head. “I talk in voices which are not my own? I talk of killing your father? Kerr, you have to help me. I’ve kept the voices in my head from you. But if they’re coming out when I sleep then you know what’s going on inside me. If you don’t help me, I am sure to kill him.”

  “You’ve done much better today, Baby,” I say and run my hands over her shoulders. “Maybe that’s over.”

  She nods. “I haven’t heard a word in my head since we left the ship. Perhaps it is. But we still have the problem of once we get to your planet, don’t we?”

  With a nod, I place my arm around her shoulders and head back to the ship. “We do. And now we must go.”

  As we walk onto the ship Kataline’s body goes tense and I can feel it. She leans agai
nst me as though she feels weak. Her breath goes in deep and she seems to be trying to catch it.

  I stop her as her hand runs to the back of her neck and she rubs it. Pulling her hair up I run my hand where she did. I can feel each vertebra, but nothing out of the ordinary.

  “Looking for something, Kerr?” she asks.

  “I’ve just been thinking you might have some type of device which has been placed in you.” I take her hand and keep walking.
