she put two and two together, or rather his statement plus her recent nymphomaniac behaviour.
    “You mean I’m going to go into heat like a bloody animal?”  She heard her voice rise in pitch. Strike one for cool, calm and collected.
    “We truly don’t know. Your Mother was already expecting when we found her, and she wasn’t the most talkative person in the world. Her behaviour, and that of the people she came into contact with, when she was pregnant is what I was concerned about.”
    “Well some women get cranky when they are pregnant...” Chesara started.
    “She wasn’t just ‘cranky’ Kittycat. She tried to kill any female she came into contact with. After she gave birth, she became hostile to all staff, regardless of gender.”
    “What was she like with men when she was pregnant?” Chesara got her answer when Connor’s face reddened.
    “That bad huh?”
    “She produced pheromones that apparently had an erm... stimulating effect on all nearby men, and she, well, shall we say took full advantage?”
    “So you’re saying my Mother made all the men incredibly horny, and they all had a prolonged orgy? Didn’t they separate her from them? Surely that much sex when she was heavily pregnant wasn’t a good idea?”
    “They tried that, and her health deteriorated rapidly.”
    “So if I’m already pregnant, will I turn into a raging slut and turn all the men in the vicinity into mindless horny animals?”
    Connor sighed. “The latest theory from the science bods is that Dakaran females have a different reproductive cycle to other species.
    “Human females can be receptive to males at any time, and neither gender knows when she is ovulating. Other species only have sex at specific times when the female is ovulating and she produces pheromones to attract males to her at that time. They think Dakarans have a different system.
    “The females give off pheromones at specific time, it attracts all nearby males. Unlike Terran animals, the mating pheromones continue after pregnancy is established. They theorized that this is either to ensure the female is protected, or that continuous ‘deposits’ are needed for a healthy pregnancy. After reading the files, I think it’s probably a little of both.” They walked in silence for a while.
    “But, there’s no guarantee I’ll react like a full Dakaran is there? I’m a hybrid.” He blew out through his nose.
    “I’m not a hybrid?”
    “You are, and you aren’t.”
    “Now that’s fucking helpful,” she said and directed a kick from her over-sized boots at an offending pebble in her way. Another exasperated sigh came from Connor. He was pissed off. He was? At least he knew what he was.
    “DNA analysis shows you are almost eighty-five percent Dakaran, and your human DNA came from three different men.”
    “Great, I’ve got a whole room full of fathers.” She shrugged. Her life was so strange right now, that yet another ludicrous fact, didn’t make much of difference. She put her ‘healer’ hat back on and assessed the information.
    “So it’s likely I’ll react to pregnancy like my mother did, with the ultra horny pheromones?”
    His eyes were riveted to the trail ahead of them but he gave her a slight nod. As a tech specialist, this was probably mortifyingly embarrassing for him, but she felt like spreading the pain a little more.
    “Do you feel any uncontrollable urges to jump me at the moment?” and she sent him a winning smile. The coughing fit her words induced was most gratifying.
    “Sorry, I can’t say that I do, but your mother was pregnant when we got her, so it’s not certain how early in pregnancy the ‘condition’ develops. Good news is I can’t see any changes from your implant yet, so I’m not even sure you’ve gone into heat. The business with Tenset might just be plain old fashioned human attraction.” She noted he didn’t mention the fact that she’d half ‘raped’ him when he’d been tied down to Tamas’ torture
