As predicted, a crew had come to check on the destroyed thresher and discovered him and Zoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He didn\u2019t relish a night spent on hot sand, but a part of him was disappointed to be back. He knew there would be a mountain of thankless work waiting for him and he\u2019d no doubt be swallowed up. Zoe would go back to exploring the compound without him, and before he knew it, she\u2019d be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless he did something about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he didn\u2019t know what he <em>could<\/em> do, short of making a declaration and begging her to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thought was more tempting by the minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cirk met them the moment they stepped into the compound, two gurneys ready to be floated down to the med bay to tend to any wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cClimb on,\u201d Asher told Zoe, reaching for her arm to assist her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She gave him a doubtful look. \u201cYou\u2019re the one that\u2019s hurt. I\u2019m fine, just a bit thirsty.\u201d She turned to the doctor. \u201cYou have to look at his back. His wing got injured in our flight and he\u2019s bruised to high heaven. He keeps wincing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d he insisted. \u201cIt hurts a lot less today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cirk\u2019s gaze bounced between them, lips pursed. \u201cGreat, now there\u2019s two of you. You\u2019re both getting checked out. You can walk to med bay or you can get on the gurneys, but if either of you collapse, I\u2019m keeping you all day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoe took another look at the gurney but shook her head. \u201cI can walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asher was going to make it on his own two feet if it killed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He took Zoe\u2019s hand as they marched through the halls, just a step behind Cirk. He didn\u2019t care if anyone saw or commented. No, he was happy if they did. He\u2019d claimed this woman and wanted to proclaim it to the entire kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had she really controlled his flame? Could she really be his mate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The possibilities swirled as he walked, making the pain easier to ignore. It had dulled, but it wouldn\u2019t fully recede until the underlying injury was healed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once they were in the infirmary, Cirk scanned them both and declared them well enough to go. Asher had instructions to shift into his other form for no less than two hours a day for two weeks but to not fly for more than fifteen minutes until all the pain was gone. Then the doctor left them alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have to get back to work,\u201d he said with some reluctance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoe cradled his head in her hands and leaned in to kiss him. It was gentle at first, but he swept his tongue in and she moaned beneath him, her hands sliding down to clutch at his shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His blood roared with need and he wanted to sweep her off her feet and lay her down on the nearest flat surface \u2013 probably an examination table \u2013 and have his way with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead he forced himself to pull back. They were back in the real world and he had a duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHave dinner with me in my private quarters tonight?\u201d he asked, already planning out the meal. He didn\u2019t care about putting on a show for others, he wanted to spend time with his human. \u201cAnd stay the night?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She grinned. \u201cI\u2019ll see if I can clear my busy schedule.\u201d She kissed his cheek and backed out of his embrace. \u201cI\u2019m going to go take an hour long shower. At least clean yourself before you dive behind your desk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs you command, my lady.\u201d The need to kiss her was too strong to resist, but he made it quick before he forced himself to walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He took the shower, but had to make it quick. The morning was already gone, wasted in rescue and transport. He\u2019d only cleared his schedule for a single day, but was now well into the second day gone. Remy had to be ready to kill him and he wouldn\u2019t be surprised if something other than the thresher had exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He found his sister in his office, her clothing rumpled as if she\u2019d slept there. There were dark bags under her eyes and she glared at him as he entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry I lost contact,\u201d he said and braced himself for her verbal fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>That\u2019s <\/em>why you\u2019re sorry? I thought you were dead!\u201d She launched herself out of the seat and wrapped him up in a tight hug. \u201cI couldn\u2019t get you on comms and then you didn\u2019t show up. I was two minutes away from sending in the troops when the team found that downed thresher and then the two of you. Are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somehow in the course of the hug they\u2019d switched positions. Asher took his own seat while Remy sat on the opposite side of his desk. \u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d he replied. \u201cCirk gave Zoe and I the okay. Just a bit banged up. I\u2019ll be all healed before you know it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A strange look crossed his sister\u2019s face, but it was gone in a blink and Asher wondered if he\u2019d really seen it. \u201cHow are you not dead?\u201d she demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am a dragon,\u201d he reminded her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot that! You could take down a legion. I\u2019ve been doing your job for one day and I don\u2019t know how you haven\u2019t collapsed in exhaustion. It\u2019s the work of six people. I started delegating what I could, you really need to learn to trust people more. And you know that irrigation issue in Sector Three? Wrede sent you a message on how to fix it more than a month ago! I gave him the go ahead and things should be fixed by the end of the day today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s fixed?\u201d The irrigation issue in Sector Three had been a thorn in his side for awhile now, but Wrede\u2019s messages were always too long by half and filled with sorry excuses and bad jokes. Asher had started skimming them after awhile and ignoring the worst of them. Apparently that was a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All good,\u201d Remy confirmed. \u201cDo you really\u2026\u201d she trailed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo I really what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNever mind.\u201d She stood up and came around the desk. \u201cLet me show you what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was only gone for a day!\u201d He feared he\u2019d have a lot to fix, but now it appeared that Remy had upset his entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe she should be the one in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s also this.\u201d She shuffled through a mysterious pile of folders on the desk and handed him one with a frustratingly familiar seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t need the Agency, I have a fianc\u00e9,\u201d he reminded her. A <em>fake<\/em> fianc\u00e9, technically. Whatever she was, Asher was done with the Intergalactic Dating Agency. \u201cI think she might be my mate,\u201d he admitted out loud for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know.\u201d Remy shoved the folder at him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He snatched it out of her hand before she could smack him with it. \u201cHow can you know? I don\u2019t even know!\u201d It was only a feeling and a bit of evidence. He needed to explore things further and to see what Zoe felt about the whole thing. Remy couldn\u2019t know anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRead the file.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asher flipped it open and skimmed. Then he spotted the picture of Zoe and he scowled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoe hadn\u2019t said a word about the IDA. They\u2019d spoken about it, he remembered. He\u2019d told her about his search to find a bride. He\u2019d specifically mentioned the agency. And she hadn\u2019t said a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the file right here had her listed as a client who\u2019d signed up for their services more than a month ago. And it had somehow identified <em>him<\/em> as her mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How could they know that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumor had it that the IDA employed psychics to aid in the matching process, but that was just marketing. They couldn\u2019t really know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why had Zoe lied?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe consented to be transported to you,\u201d Remy said, pointing out a line low down on the page. \u201cThis is her signature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right there in black ink, he saw it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He slammed the file shut and glared at his sister. He couldn\u2019t think of what to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do you want to do about it?\u201d she asked. \u201cYou should probably talk to her. Find out her side of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHer side of the story is pretty clear. We both knew that nonsense about the game was beyond belief. I can\u2019t believe I\u2026\u201d He smelled smoke and looked down to see the paper of the file blackening around his fingers. He lifted up his hand and glared at his smoking skin. If he saw Zoe right now there was no telling what he\u2019d say. And even with this betrayal, he refused to risk hurting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGet her out of here,\u201d he said. \u201cSend her home. It\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter Twelve Asher\u2019s entire body ached as the rescue transport landed in the airfield outside the compound.
