"I'm hoping for a girl," Ariel chuckled.

Casey nodded. "No shit." Her eyes went to Argernon. "There's room in condoms for release and they don't hurt you. They just catch your seed."

He shivered. "I will never wear something that embraces me like that." His eyes narrowed on her. "You embrace my cock." He grinned. "Very well. I will wear you often."

Casey blushed. She was a little stunned that he'd say something that forward in front of other people.

Ariel laughed. "Get used to it. Like I said, they are very blunt." Ariel stood up, giving a smile to her husband. "Let's go home. All is well here."

Casey watched the couple go. She could have begged Ariel to take her with her, but she remained silent until they were out of sight. Argernon was silently watching her. She turned, studying him back. A slow grin spread his lips.

"You did not try to escape." He sounded smug.

"Would you have let me go?"

He shook his head. "You are my bound, beautiful. I will never let you go."

"Why would she want free?" Gava looked at Casey with a frown. "Why would you not want bound to him? He is much desired on Zorn. He is Argis. Many Zorn women would beg to be his bound."

"It's a long story," Casey sighed. Her gaze went to Argernon. "You're still not off the hook."

He chuckled. "And later you still will not be off the headboard."

Gava stood. "I do not want to know." She started to clear the table. When Casey rose to help her, Gava shook her head no. "You remain with your bound. You are in the beginning stages of your new bond. Enjoy the time together." She disappeared from the dining room.

"You heard her." Argernon moved to Casey. "Let's go enjoy our time together." He held out his hand.

"Gee, I wonder what you want to do." Her gaze lowered to the front of his pants. The man was hard again. She looked at his face when she stood up. She put her smaller hand in his.

"Are you ever not turned-on?"

He chuckled. "When you are not near me I am not aroused unless I am thinking about you. I want to take you outside right now. You have yet to really get to enjoy Zorn."

"That's true. When we arrived I was chasing after you to the medical place and when I left there it was dark."

He walked her through the house, but instead of heading for the front door he headed toward the back. She wondered where he was taking her but then she saw the glass doors he walked her to and slid them open. The view of the city below was vast. The house sat on a steep hill, so she could look down the sharply slanted lawn to see a lot of Zorn. She noticed the tall, white walls enclosing the obvious backyard below them. She let her eyes take in the view.

Zorn really was a red planet. The vegetation she saw wasn't green. It was all reds, purples, and blacks. The sky was a pinkish red. The city was mostly white buildings that looked rounded and curved in structure. She was far enough away that she couldn't see people or much detail but she bet it would be pretty at night with lights below. The grass was a soft rusty red that shocked her a little with its color. Zorn definitely wasn't Earth.

"What do you think?"

"It's stunning and strange," she said honestly. "It's really different from Earth."

He nodded. "I was on your Earth, remember?"

She looked up at him. "I remember in great detail."

He chuckled. "I liked your blue and green water where it ran deep."

"I liked the cave behind the waterfall on your sleeping bag."

His grin curved more. "I was trying to give you a rest, but I don't believe you need one since your thoughts are on our first joining." He turned her to yank her against his body. "I want you."

"Let's go inside."

He shook his head. "No one is here. Gava will not interfere."

"Its broad daylight and we're on a hill, Argernon."

"I am aware."

He went to his knees, tugging her down with him. They faced each other on their knees.

She stared up at him. The guy turned her on. "What if Gava walks by the windows?"

"She won't watch us. Sex is very natural here, my Casey. She will avoid the windows."

Biting her lip, Casey stared into Argernon's striking blue eyes. She loved him. After Bara tried to kill them both, it made her realize the woman hadn't loved Argernon. She wanted what he could give her financially. He hadn't broken anyone's heart by getting rid of his house helpers.

He'd just hurt Casey by having them in the first place. Argernon reached up to cup Casey's face with his hands.

"I love you, beautiful."

She smiled. "I love you too, baby."

"Turn around." He released her.

She went to her knees to get a better look at the view. Argernon moved behind her, spreading his bent legs so they were on the outside of hers. His warm body pressed against her back.

One of his hands cupped her stomach only to slide lower under her shirt, moving it out of his way. His fingers slid between her thighs. Casey moaned as he played with her clit. Argernon lowered his head so his mouth could tease her throat.

"You're more beautiful than the view. I can never lose you, Casey."

She pressed her ass back, rubbing against his hard cock trapped in his pants. He groaned as she wiggled against him. "I'll forgive you for everything and stay here with you forever if you do one thing."

His hand froze. "What? Name it, Casey."

She smiled as she turned her head to look up at him over her shoulder. She met his sexy eyes. "Swear to me you'll never touch another woman but me for the rest of our lives together."
