the feline species?" Hope asked to which she nodded.
    "I am sorry this has happened to you." Acris said with genuine sorrow. "I lost half my family when our planet was attacked. I don't know what I'd do if we had to permanently leave our home world."
    "Is that where we are going?" JP chimed in.
    "I think so or the planet nearby. I'm not really sure." Hope replied, she couldn't recall the specifics. Everything had been too overwhelming.
    "You will remain with Prognatus Viper on Anguis Minor, then you will travel to Anguis Prime once the colony is established Uxorem. I'm certain anyone you wish may join you."
    "Oh okay." Hope kept forgetting she was tied to Viper, and he held a position of privileged.
    "Why do you keep calling Hope Uxorem?" Tara looked to Acris then Hope.
    "It means that Hope is second female in the empire." Acris stated.
    "Like a princess!?" JP asked in awe.
    "Yeah." Hope said waiting for the fall out.
    "Seriously woman you were only supposed to go on vacation!" JP exclaimed which Tara seconded.
    "Well Viper will get over me and move on." Hope stated with conviction.
    She wasn't about to stay married to some alien man she barely knew just because she made his cock hard. And although Viper got all growly and jealous, Hope was pretty sure he wasn't that thrilled with being tied to an alien either.
    "I do not understand." Acris said in confusion.
    "I'm human, Viper's Anguis. We barely just met. He has no clue what kind of person I am and vice versa. That does not a marriage make."
    "But you are already mated, besides the pronouncement ceremony it is done." Acris said.
    "We are different Acris. My people don't go all hormonal and mate the way yours do. Yes we have lust and it sometimes results in marriage, but most often men and women date, and if they like each other's personality they decide to move on to mating."
    "Date?" Acris asked
    "We go have dinner or visit a garden several times. You talk and then either you like each other or you don't." Hope did her best to simplify the concept for the foreign woman.
    "That is not so very different." Acris stated. Her head was cocked like she was considering the differences between their ways.
    "How do your people meet and mate?" Tara asked. Hope could see the doctor's sociological mind at work.
    "The sire of your clan or your nidum brothers introduce you to males or escort you to events where there are many un-mated males and females. Then if you are lucky, you find a male who makes you excited and afraid all at once." Acris smiled.
    "And?" JP asked.
    "The male fights your family and steals you away." She replied wistfully.
    "He fights and then steals you. That's barbaric!" Tara exclaimed and Hope punched her arm.
    "Don't be rude!"
    It was caveman-like but Tara hadn't witnessed just how overwhelmed Viper had become. Hope understood when Acris said excited and afraid at the same time. If her response to Viper was only a fraction of what the Anguis females felt then it must be intense.
    Again Hope shivered at the memory of how sexy and yet frightening Viper had been. The way the strange liquid desire had coursed through her when he put his mouth on her. Even his release inside her had been packed with those crazy pheromones. She could still feel the ghostly traces of his erotic drug. Just thinking about it made her nipples tighten and her womb spasm.
    "The fight is just a formality, unless of course your family resist the mating. Then things can get intense." Acris continued to explain.
    Hope nodded. She'd seen intense first hand.
    "And then what, he drags you off to a dark alley?" Tara asked and JP snickered at the comment. They were awful.
    "No no he takes you to his home and you stay there until the first few days of mating are over." Acris looked wistful like she was recalling her own mating.
    Hope could only imagine the wild fuck fest that probably ensued.
    "And you are okay with this?" Tara inquired.
    "When I met my Basilisk, I was very happy with our mating." Acris
