As she walked toward the door, she heard, “Nice seeing you, Medic Mills.”
Nylora couldn’t say what she wanted to, so she got into the ambulance and drove off.Time to restock and get it ready for her shift.
* * * *
Akkas came out witha huge lunch bag.“Ah, she left?”
Reymark chuckled and slid his shadows over Jennel.“Yeah, you missed her.”
“She needs more food than she’s eating.The child is already big and growing fast.”
Reymark laughed.“She’s barely showing.”
“She’s deep, not round.My sister was a midwife.She told me everything and the signs to look for.”He looked at Reymark with narrowed eyes.“Were you starting foreplay in front of a pregnant woman with no mate?”
Reymark paused.“Maybe?What do you mean, no mate?”
Jennel said, “She’s not with the father.Do you know a guy who would answer to Agent Stomp?”
He paused and cocked his head.“No—oh.Yeah.She gives you a nickname if she doesn’t know your name.I am Creep, Day-ek is Flex, and Jennor is Thud.”
“So, who would Stomp be?”
“I think Solor.”
“Why is that name familiar?”
Jennor came downstairs wearing sweats.“He has the property to the south.It was his involvement in the XIA that spurred me into signing up.”
Jennel smiled.“Is he on nights?”
Jennor was wary.“Yes.”
Day-ek came down wearing shorts.“Are you going to grill our neighbour about whether he once fucked a dark fae?”
Jennel shrugged.“Yeah.”
The orc rubbed his face.“I will be dressed in a few minutes.Do not leave without me.”
Jennor pressed his nose to her cheek.“Or me.”He headed up the stairs.
Reymark looked at her.“You are in for such a pounding when we get off shift.”
She grinned.“Promises, promises.”
He kissed her savagely and then headed upstairs to get dressed for the shift that started in three hours.
Jennel looked at Akkas.“Was it something I said?”
“If you are willing to defer pleasure, then they had better realize you are serious.You get along with Nylora.”
“I do.Her situation is why I am putting the thought of pregnancy aside for now.This isn’t something that is easy on a person.Dark fae die in childbirth frequently.She has nerves of steel if she thinks she can do it alone.”
He sighed.“That is what my sister told me.I have made a decision that Sir Reymark will not enjoy.”
“What?”
“Since Nylora will remain unsatisfied, so will he.He’s going vegetarian.He will still get what he needs, but it is all that he technically requires.”
