eyes.
When they had themselves under control once more Rhiannon said, “That good huh?”
Erin wiped her eyes and mouth of the remaining Mur and asked Honey for a cloth to wipe up the mess she made. As she cleaned she became serious.
“Are you two really happy here with your mates?”
“Yes, Erin. I love my mates more than my own life. I couldn't survive without them. I would never leave them. I want to spend the rest of my life with the men I adore and they want the same from me.”
“Do you feel the same about your mates, Rhi?”
“Yeah, I do.” Rhiannon stated with a sappy look on her face.
“So if you had the chance to go back home, to Earth, you wouldn't even think about it?”
“No,” Rhiannon and Honey answered at the same time.
“What's wrong Erin?” Rhiannon asked as she saw the frown on her friends face.
“Don't you feel as if your mates are with you out of duty?”
“Why would you ask that Erin? No, our mates love us very much. We are not a duty to them and they aren't a duty to us.
We have what we have always wanted, unconditional love. We were lucky enough to get that from more than one man. They would never say loving us was a duty,” Honey stated.
“Okay, thanks for answering that. What do you guys do here?” Erin asked.
Honey and Rhiannon burst out giggling again. Erin couldn't help but smile and then laugh along with her friends, even though she had no idea what she was laughing at. She had always found Honey and Rhiannon's laughter contagious, so she sat back and laughed with them and waited until they were once again under control.
“Well, you know how you had an orgasm when Honey's mate, Sven touched you?” Rhi asked.
“Yeah.”
“That's what we do,” Honey stated, then burst into uncontrollable laughter again.
“Do what?” Erin asked again. She watched as Rhiannon held up a hand, halting Erin's questions, until she could answer.
“We let UN-mated males of Calt touch us to see if we have been in contact with their mates. If we have, we get an orgasm; and if we haven't, we counsel them into not giving up on finding their mates, so they don't turn rogue with mating fever.”
“You're serious?” Erin asked as she stared at her friends.
When they nodded in confirmation, she stared at her friends with her mouth gaping.
“You'll catch flies, Erin,” Rhi stated as she pushed on Erin's chin and closed her mouth. Rhiannon and Honey burst out laughing again at the incredulous look on their friends face. When they were under control once more Erin turned back to Rhiannon.
“What happens if I don't want to do this type of work?
And what the hell happens if a male turns rogue with mating fever?”
“Well, you don't have to do the same job as us Erin. It was our choice to do what we do. As for rogue males, well, they will try and kidnap you and join with you without your consent,” Honey stated seriously.
“You mean they try and rape you?” Erin asked.
“Yeah,” Rhiannon replied.
“Oh. So does this happen much?”
“Well, both Honey and I have come up against a couple of rogues. Honey was actually kidnapped, but fortunately was able to escape. Then there was the time when two rogue males tried to kidnap me while Honey and I were working, but I was able to hold him and his cohort off until our mates came to the rescue,” Rhi advised.
“You should have seen her Erin, it was an awesome sight.
Rhi flipped that mother right over her shoulder and had him on the floor in seconds. Don't know how she does it? She's tried to teach me how, but I just can't seem to move them an inch. What a woman,” Honey stated as she glared at Rhiannon. The two women burst into uproarious laughter once more.
“Oh my gawd, you two are as crazy as the rest of the people on this planet,” Erin stated and gave a grimace as they started laughing again.
Erin downed the rest of the Mur in her glass in one gulp.
She wasn't much of a drinker, but she
