Summary
Ryland’s life on Erid had started to settle, once the Eridian scientists figured out the pesky food situation to keep the leaky space blob alive. It had been a slow, but steady, recovery from near starvation, but with an overly concerned mate hovering over him, Ryland pulled through. Halfway through his recovery, Ryland finally got to meet Adrian again after a brief encounter once the biodome was constructed. It was a little awkward, for him at least, but Adrian didn’t seem upset that Rocky had chosen him as a mate too. Something about the differing customs between Human and Eridian mating habits, Ryland was just grateful he wasn’t being labeled a homewrecker. The big surprise was when he’d noticed a couple months after that encounter that Adrian was displaying what he’d learned through Rocky was Eridian Courting rituals with him, too.
Rocky was thrilled, and Ryland never thought he could be loved by one person, let alone two. Everything was perfect, except for the one subject he refused to broach. But it wasn’t important, until it was.
Ryland could never have one good thing for very long, could he?
