Kindle Notes & Highlights
"Hmm, breakfast or tits. Breakfast or tits." He pretends to consider, even as he massages my breasts in circular motions.
"Thought you'd be surprised to see me," the woman purrs. "Imagine finding my favorite va Sithai in the ass-crack of the universe." "Shaalyn," Adiron coughs, his expression stunned.
I'm wearing a breast-band, and my tits are so tightly bound and heavy that they snugly hold the gun in place. I've held pencils in my enormous cleavage before as a joke. I've held a beer there at festivals. And now, it seems, I'm hiding a space gun.
"Go lick your human or whatever it is they do with their mouths, and then let's go take Shaalyn down, all right?" "It's called kissing," I tell her.
"How is it all those tiny wiggly fingers can pack such a hit?"
Zoey speaks again. "You know what she needs? A big bowl of piping hot noodles." Noodles. Just the word brings to mind a bowl of the hated things, and their scent, and my stomach rebels. My mouth fills with saliva and a cold sweat breaks out over my skin.
And I'm pregnant with a space pirate's baby. So, you know, no pressure or anything.
I don't know why, but for some reason I pictured Zoey with impish features and red hair. Kinda like Pippi Longstocking or some shit, the ultimate sisterly vibe.
"I hope no one was filming that," Jade tells me as I rub circles on her ass with my hands. "Do these things have cameras?" "I kinda hope they were filming it," I admit. "I'd love a copy." She smacks my chest. "Very funny." I was serious, but I just shrug. A vid of Jade in all her splendor, riding my cock? What's not to love?
"Being a father is number two on my list of favorite things, right below being your mate. Because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Jade. Nothing will ever change that. I love you. I love every moment we're together, and I can't imagine waking up a day without you by my side. I want to grow old and gray with you, with a dozen children that look just like you." I give her a rueful look. "And we can hope none of them inherit my smarts."
The moment someone implies that I'm dumb (even if it's me), Jade leaps to my defense. I love it.
She points at the shelving. "Is that a VHS tape?" "Yes!" Sophie declares, laughing. "It's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I can't watch it, of course, but I remember the movie from when I was young and seeing it makes me smile.
In a way, I do understand why Adi and the others viewed her as a sister—there's something about Sophie that makes you want to protect her from the universe. She makes me think she would crumple under pressure. I guess we're different in that way.
"It's true," he tells me. "My brain is full of noodles. Not even the good ones." His hands slide to my waist and he tilts his head thoughtfully. "Do you think they're salty noodles or the sweet ones?"
"I think you're more like the noodle scraps at the bottom of the container. All fucked up and impossible to get onto your sticks."
To my surprise, a sad expression crosses his face. "When Zoey was little, those were her favorite parts of the noodles. She'd make us cut hers up so she could use a spoon that she had, because she didn't want to u...

"You mean we won't be able to just make love all day long?" I tease. "I didn't say that. You can sit on my cock while I show you how to work a blaster." He pauses for a moment. "Kef me, that sounds really hot."
