“I should just stuff you in my pocket and take you to the front,” Baar growled, his arms bracketing her head. In the dim light, his golden, slitted pupils burned with intensity.
A soft laugh escaped her. Her fingertips traced the sharp line of his cheekbone. “So I can eat sand and look at insectoid guts all day? Not a chance,”
With his eyes darkening, Baar retaliated by capturing her lower lip between his teeth, a gentle nip that promised more.
Clothes found their way to the carpet in haphazard piles.
A serpent-beastman’s physiology was unique. Having experienced it once before, Margaret tensed with instinctive apprehension.
And Baar’s possessiveness in these moments was formidable. With his departure looming, a restless, frustrated energy drove him, making his movements rougher, less controlled.
A sharp hiss of pain escaped her. Margaret wasn’t one to tolerate recklessness. Her head snapped up, and she sank her teeth into the solid muscle of his shoulder with all her strength,
The coppery tang of blood touched her tongue.
Baar stiffened, a low grunt rumbling in his chest. He pulled back just enough to look down at the woman clinging to him, her teeth still firmly lodged. A surprised, breathless chuckle escaped him.
“Biting again? You really are a little hellcat,” he sighed, the tension in his frame easing slightly as his hand came up to soothingly knead the nape of her neck.
Only then did she release him, glaring up at him as she caught her breath. “Think you’re a damn jackhammer? Take it easy! ”
He lowered himself again, his lips brushing her forehead, then the tip of her nose, before finally settling against her mouth.
His movements gentled, the storm receding into a controlled, deep current. “So demanding,” he murmured, the words softened by affection.
Outside, the artificial moonlight filtered through the sheer curtains, painting the room in silvery streaks. The only sounds were their mingled breaths,
Margaret yielded to the rhythm he set. She understood the source of his intensity-the anxiety of leaving. the worry for her safety on Terminus, the frustration of not being the one by her side.
She recognized the language of his fear, and in this quiet understanding, chose to meet his turbulence with a patient shore.
All the worries and affections left unspoken in daylight found their translation here, in this intimate collision.
By the early hours, peace had returned. Exhaustion weighed Margaret down, every limb feeling leaden as she sank into the pillows, eyelids heavy.

Baar gathered her close, pulling the covers snugly over them both. His usually cool skin had warmed from their contact.
“On Terminus… watch your back,” he rasped, his chin resting against her hair. His voice was gravelly with spent passion and unvoiced concern. “If you need me, for anything… I don’t care what galaxy you’re in or what’s in the way. I’ll find you.”
Burrowing deeper into his embrace, Margaret managed a soft, sleepy hum of acknowledgment.
“Sleep,” he murmured.
In the darkness, Baar’s golden eyes remained open as he listened to the steady rhythm of her breathing beside him.
The frantic, restless energy that had driven him finally stilled, soothed by her presence.
Morning light spilled into the master bedroom. Margaret turned over, her hand finding only cool, empty sheets.
Baar was gone, having slipped away before dawn. A military transport had collected him; the urgency of the front lines allowed for no lingering farewells.
Descending to the living room after freshening up, she found it already bustling with activity.
Timothy, dressed in a finely-knit light blue sweater, his blond hair impeccably styled, was directing a housekeeping robot to replace the sofa cushions.
Spotting her, he bounded up the stairs two at a time and slipped an arm around her waist with practiced
case.
“Morning, My Lady!” He nuzzled the top of her head, his voice cheerful. “I cleared my schedule today. We’re hitting the biggest mall on Prime Planet to get you kitted out for Terminus.”
She allowed the embrace, reaching up to ruffle his soft hair.
Norman emerged from the dining area, clad in little overalls and clutching her teddy bear. Primo whirred close behind, its screen flashing a bright, cheerful emoji.
“Host! I have plotted the optimal shopping route, avoiding all traffic snarls! I am at your service for the entire solar cycle!”
Soon, their hovercar settled smoothly onto the rooftop landing pad of the StarGlobe Galleria. The commercial hub of the Central Star District sprawled before them, a glittering maze of luminous boutique cubes suspended at various altitudes,
Timothy naturally laced his fingers through Margaret’s. Norman grabbed her other hand, her small head swiveling as she tried to take in all the dazzling sights.
