enticing.”
    She looked into his eyes and she sighed as she saw the flicker of loneliness that came through on the side of Arengar. There was eagerness on the side of Yavoy and a longing in the presence of the planet.
    “You both need me in your own way, don’t you?”
    He chuckled, the black and red even in his eyes. “We really do. Will you allow us to join with you completely?”
    She eyed the plate being brought to her and she smiled. “Can it wait until after dessert?”
    The laughter of the Avatar of Geko 7 rippled through the restaurant and the air over the mountains cleared, letting the starlight dance through to areas who hadn’t seen the stars in centuries.

    “So, do you just live in those quarters we were in last night?” They were making their way slowly back to the tower that she had escaped from during the dawn.
    “I stay there when I am in the city. During the year, I live in a home that Arengar crafted for me. We can go there tonight if you like.”
    “Really?”
    “Why not, the harvest is under way and we have no where we have to be.”
    “What about the clothing?”
    “It won’t go bad. We will just improvise something for you and have the rest flown out when it is ready.”
    She shrugged. “Fine. Let’s go.”
    He winked at her after he lifted her in his arms. He bent his knees and jumped, soaring into the sky with her in his arms.
    Her breath left her lungs and then she shrieked, “What the hell?”
    He whispered in her ear. “Each planet can gift its Avatar with skills if it wishes to.”
    “Apparently Arengar is generous.”
    The surface was flowing past them at a dramatic pace. They swooped into a house built into the foothills of the mountains and he set her on her feet.
    “How do you do that?”
    “Magnetic-field manipulation. It is a lost art.” He smiled as she took a few cautious steps.
    “Well, it looks like you found it again.”
    He chortled in response to her amazement.
    “It is a skill set that took months of practice to master. It was more of a calling than a hobby.”
    She took a seat on the couch in the nearby living space and casually shifted so that the robes slid to one side and exposed the transparent excuse for a dress underneath. The shadow at the top of her thighs was glaringly obvious to anyone looking at her and Yavoy was definitely looking.
    “Yavoy, I seem to recall someone saying something about putting energy into me. I was wondering exactly how you were going to go about it?”
    He didn’t waste a moment.
    With a smooth movement, she was crushed into the couch cushions and Yavoy’s mouth was on hers. His hands unclasped her cloak and left her clothed in silk shadows and nothing more.
    His hands stroked her neck, across her shoulders and around her breasts. She shivered with every palming of her nipple and the gentle kneading of her skin. She looked down and shuddered at the contrast between his midnight hands and her lighter skin.
    “It does seem that I need to get the power inside you somehow, what would you suggest?” He whispered the words against her neck, licking and sucking to punctuate every phrase.
    The delicate fabric of her wrapped top came off in his hands with a few well-placed tugs.
    He warmed her skin with his breath and moved down to her breasts, nibbling and licking as he went. Yavoy latched onto one nipple and sucked it until it was a pebble-hard peak and then he moved to the other, each round of suction sent an answering quiver through her clit.
    He used his teeth, the sharp points abrading her skin lightly, and each minute puncture filled her with warmth.
    Yavoy ceased to nip at her breasts and made his way down her rib cage. She yelped in surprise as her navel sent a burst of lust through her that heated her feet and arched her back.
    He raised his head. “I must have missed that one last night.”
    She groaned at the light of discovery in his eyes. He wasn’t getting a little enjoyment out of this. He was
