him and Malachi go along with you in my place,” Ania said with a shrug.
    “Why didn’t you?” Gwen asked. “What difference would it make?”
    “I am not yet willing to risk the demon losing his host body to battle. Synar still resents seeing him in Conor’s physical form. But more importantly, I’ve grown to like not having him in me all the time. To risk his new host body is to risk my freedom,” Ania said.
    Gwen nodded. “I guess I get all that. Got to say it was strange to see Synar kissing you. I’ve never seen him with a female. Who knew that stoic male could get so caught up in the moment? I was surprised he finally let you out of his lap.”
    Ania smiled. “Liam is very intense in his opinions, but also in his physical expressions. He makes me feel…” She looked off searching for words.
    “Safe?” Gwen suggested. “Wanted? Peaceful? Calm?”
    Ania looked sideways to study her companion’s face. “Yes. All those.”
    “Zade is the only male that quiets the restlessness in me. And we haven’t even…” Gwen kicked at a rock in the road.
    Laughing, Ania reached out and put a hand on Gwen’s arm. “He is a Siren and your mate. He will be your best experience. If you intend to hold onto the memory of other males in any way, you might want to write down your recollections before it gets that far with Dorian.”
    “Come on. I admit to thinking Zade’s going to be great, but frankly, I can’t imagine him being better than Chiang. Greggors are very…attentive to their bonding partners’ needs,” Gwen said with a grin. “And Chiang laughs during sex. There’s something special about a male who can laugh while he gives you pleasure.”
    Ania grinned back. “Well, I carried Dorian’s lust for you once. He’s very motivated to please you. I think you’re going to be so lust sick after being with him that you’ll not be able to function normally for days.”
    Gwen snorted and then laughed. “He’s not that good. No male is that good. I don’t need anyone that badly.”
    Ania just shrugged. “You are an Earth female. Sirens have a higher standard of pleasure than most other species, especially those who have never fully appreciated the nuances of the entire journey. There is so much more to satisfaction than just the climax, and Sirens pretty much know all the secrets there are.”
    Gwen rubbed her stomach. “Every time I talk about him, I have panic. Our conversation is hurting my gut.”
    Ania frowned. “No, that’s your cord calling your mate because you need him. But even when we rescue him, you won’t get to meet that need until we are safe. Don’t let him claim you physically. We don’t really have time to indulge a Siren who’s been waiting as long as he has. Once will not be enough. You’ll have to be the strong one and resist until we are safe.”
    “No problem. I did it before. I can do it again, especially now. Being in danger never really revs me, though I know lots find it exciting. I preferred a locked door and plenty of time,” Gwen said on a laugh.
    “Here we are,” Ania said. “Time to be a slave, Gwen.”
    Gwen saw the city gates up ahead, and the two males dispatched from the guard posts walking out to meet them. She rubbed her stomach again. “I guess all this pain means that I was right about Zade being here.”
    “I would say that is correct,” Ania said. “Keep up that anxiety. It makes you a believable slave.”
    Gwen nodded, dropping back a pace or two just before the guards reached them.

    “I want him fixed whatever the cost,” Lady Genastia said to the doctor regarding her with an unsympathetic gaze. “You said there was something experimental we could try.”
    He bowed his head to her title but not to the female. Lady Genastia was now on her third Siren slave. It actually pleased him that this one had resisted her efforts to break him so far. The male had been incapacitated by the collar so many times that he’d lost his memories. Or
