Instead of boring you with statistics and cover details, I will try to do this whole "one blog post per week" thing with Teaser Tuesdays! A fair warning: the teasers will most likely be unedited...}
He usually didn’t awake in such a startled manner but it
wasn’t the case that morning. Areiv was alarmed to find there was no human in
his bed and there was a variety of scents coming from the other room. He
immediately got out of bed to investigate at least the strange aromas, not
bothering to clothe himself. When he walked into his dining area, Areiv was
greeted with Lindsay’s warm smile as she put plates of food on his table.
“Morning!” she approached him and gave the confused alien a
kiss. “You usually walk around naked?” she grinned, embracing him. Areiv
returned the smile and kiss.
“… No. I smelled these new aromas and… you were not beside
me when I awoke. I was worried.”
“Oh, sorry! I got up before you did and… wanted to do
something to thank you for last night…”
“… You are wearing one of my tunics…” Areiv noticed. He
didn’t know why but seeing Lindsay in his clothing made him smile more. The
Baron switched glances from her to the food on the table. “What is all this?”
“This is an Earth American breakfast! I made scrambled eggs,
sausage, bacon, pancakes and… oh, wait; you can digest our food, right?” the thought suddenly occurred to
Lindsay. Areiv chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her, planting a kiss on
her forehead.
“Yes, of course. Is it customary to thank someone after
performing the mating ritual…?”
“Well… no. I just wanted to surprise you.”
“I see. This is a lovely surprise, Lindsay. I was simply
alarmed because I looked forward to you by my side when I awake. However, no
one aside from the royal chefs has ever prepared a meal for me. I do believe I
will take full advantage of being mated to an Earth woman.” the Baron took
note. Lindsay blushed at his confession but finally laughed at his later
statement.
“I have a smart aleck alien on my hands…”
