For what seemed like the tenth time in as many days I found myself looking at Kya's sleeping face as I got up from the bed. We'd spent the better half of the day enjoying each other and as I made my way to the bathroom to wash up I saw the scattered bits of clothing long since forgotten.

I swear she's going to be the death of me. I didn't even know I could be that flexible.

But that wasn't the only thing going through my head. Although I was completey satisfied with the arrangement Kya and I had my inner alpha wasn't. Every time Kya and I had sex it was screaming at me to mark her as mine and to get her pregnant as soon as possible. Which was becoming harder and harder with each session.

But I can't do that to her. She wants to travel and see the world, not be a mother. But then again she would be a great mom and I'd make sure I'd be there every step of the way!

A quick smack to the face brought me back to my senses.

"Remember Lin she's out of heat in less than two days. Just keep it together and try to stop imagining knocking her up."

No matter how cute she'd look with a swollen belly... This will be harder than I thought.

After a long cold shower to kill whatever desires I had left and after making sure Kya was still asleep I put on some clothes and made my way to the lobby, hoping to clear my head.

Unfortunately with all the noise coming from the front desk that was all but impossible.

"What do you mean the royal suite is occupied!" the noise was coming from a young man screaming at the attendant while the girl next to him was starting to shake. It was all too clear that she was afraid.

"Like I said sir due to repairs and last minute bookings we had to give your room to two young ladies." the attendant was trying to act calm but he too was shaking with fear.

"And that's supposed to explain things!? I pay this place a small fortune to keep the royal suite reserved year round so when I show up to have some fun I expect it to be open!"

Normally in a situation like this I'd have strung him up and thrown him in the back of my squad car. But I wasn't a cop right now and this wasn't Republic City, I had no armor and no jurisdiction here. I kept walking toward the door intent on having their security handle this when I heard it. The unmistakable sound of a hand making contact with a face.

As I turned around I saw the women on the ground clutching her face as the man stood over her.

"Did I ask for your opinion?! A beta should know their place." he then turned back and continued yelling at the attendant, leaving the girl to start crying. Whatever restraint I had was gone and I was moving my way across the room before my mind could work out a plan.

"Excuse me" he whipped around eyes blazing, clearly intending to yell at me. But he wasn't expecting a fist to slam into his face. As he held his face and screamed in agony I helped the young girl to her feet. Up close I saw that the mark on her face wasn't the only one. Her lip was slightly busted and there was faint bruising around her left eye. She meet my gaze and looked down to her long sleeves. Not surprisingly there were red marks and cuts all along her arms.

"You stupid bitch! Do you have any idea who I am!?" the jackass screamed, having made his way up and holding his jaw.

"Should I?" I'd dealt with more than my fair share of would be gang leaders. This would be easy

"I'm Lan Fo the leader of the desert raiders, the most notorious gang in all the earth nation." he got even angrier when he saw how I was inspecting the girl.

"Get away from her! Nobody takes what's mine!" she started shaking.

I'll have to settle this fast or she'll wind up running back to him.

A low kick to his knee sent him off balance and a well-placed punch completely broke his jaw.

Head spinning, jaw broken and knee buckling.

Even with all this he was still barely conscious and trying to speak. But with a broken jaw it was all gibberish

"bitsh now I'b mad." in his rage he threw a sloppy left hook followed by a kick of his own. His hits were predictable and easily blocked. All it took was one step to the side and a firm elbow to the neck to knock him out. As soon as his head hit the ground the attendet popped up from behind the desk like a animal sensing the end of danger.

"I take it he's caused trouble in the past."

"Yes, usually he comes in twice a year and causes a great disturbance for the guests. He's gotten worse in recent years. You're the first to actually do something about him." After a bit of searching I found his wallet which was overflowing with cash. I threw it to the attendant.

"Make sure this women gets a room and a doctor." I then turned back to her.

"I'm sorry but I never get your name."

"It's Umi. And thanks for doing that, this jerk lured me here with promises of good times and a better life."

"But let me guess he showed his true colors soon after."

"Yeah."

"Well after you get better use his money to get the hell out of here. I'll make sure he rots in prison."

Another attendant came to show her to her new room along with two security guards to take the unconscious leader to whatever prison the town had.

With that taken care of I continued my voyage to see what this town had. My first stop was see what kind of shops this place had besides clothing shops.

As it turned out this town had a rather large bazaar filled with items from around the world. With each stand I passed I saw a variety of goods ranging from weapons to creatures and even strange devices. Of course In an environment like this it was easy to see just how many illegal items were being sold.

Somehow I wound up in a rather large trinket shop starring at some emerald rings. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice an old women walk up beside me.

"Looking for something special, perhaps a gift for that special someone?"

"No just looking for a gift is all."

"Well usually when people enter this store there looking to propose but we do have lovely gifts just over there." I took a second look around and saw that in every section was rings made from gemstones to wooden betrothal necklaces.

Of course I walk into an engagement store when I'm trying not to think about it.

After searching thorough three bins while trying to find something that Kya would like I finally settled on a pair of bracelets. They seemed to be a twin set, one being blue with green patterns the other being green with blue patterns.

It wasn't until I was out of the shop that I realized I just brought a pretty romantic item. But even though a part of me was screaming at me to find something else to give her my body wouldn't allow me to go back inside.

It is a pretty perfect gift for the two of us. Besides we not getting married we're just two friends on vacation and friends buy gifts for each other right?

When I finally arrived back at the hotel and to the room I found it suspiciously quiet.

"Kya?" two hands wrapped around me pulling me close.

"Where'd you go? When I woke up you were gone and I got worried."

"Worried? Kya I'm a police officer I can take care of myself you know." Then she noticed the bags in my arms. She snatched the bags away and pulled out the bracelets.

"You actually went shopping? And you got something completely adorable to!"

"Yeah they caught my eyes and it made me think of us. I hope you like it." Predictably as soon as she saw what was inside the bags she screamed with excitement as she looked over both of them.

After putting on the green bracelet and slapping the blue on me she pulled me into a deep kiss.

"I love it. Thanks Lin."

"Anytime."

"Now tell me Lin, while you were gone I heard a rumor of a young woman beating up a gang leader and having him arrested. You wouldn't have anything to do with that would you? Because you're not supposed to be working this week."

Crap, oh well just tell the truth she'll understand.

"He was being a jerk and from what I saw he was abusing the women he was with."

She was quiet for a while before hugging me again.

"I forgive you, now let's go the bedroom where I can show you how much I love you."
