Chapter 106: Chapter 107: Interrogation Part 1

I reach the Docking Station and find Mimi, the giant Stancimis, already in the center pool. We're alone, which is what I want, since I've needed a moment from the encounter earlier, when Reid almost kissed me. I haven't had time to process it - the hungry look in his eye, the need in his mouth as he leaned in for mine. My stomach contracts at the thought, heat blooming from somewhere deep inside. Flushing at the memory of his scent, I'm overwhelming myself when footsteps sound down the tunnel.

Must be Princess Ariana.

Except it's not.

Qippert arrives in his human form, moving steadily for me with his hands cupped at the small of his back. He pauses a few feet away. "I heard you took the Millix back."

I nod.

"And?"

I shrug, "It went fine. But we're taking Mimi to interrogate Perio."
