Really been on the struggle bus in getting anything done. Major novel edits have slammed right into the last week before classes start run up to the new semester (and I was blessed with some extra time for those edits for which I’m super grateful.

Skipping ahead a wee bit to the point where Kaleo is sleeping in the shuttle and Aneirin is reading the owner information for Toys and he is not a happy camper.

He had arrived at the part about how to use the wand Rioke had given him when a whimpering distracted him. Aneirin hadn’t realized Kaleo had fallen asleep but it wasn’t an easy rest. Aneirin caressed Kaleo’s hair. The young man sighed softly, quieting as whatever nightmare seemed to leave him. Aneirin’s own nightmares were just beginning. The wand seemed to control the Toy’s sexual readiness. It didn’t go into details but promised with a touch of a button, his Toy would be ready and waiting for him. If dialed to the highest setting, he could have all the joy of watching his Toy’s orgasm with almost no stimulation. They suggested using the medium setting for all-night fun. Aneirin wondered what would happen if he stuck the damn wand in the refuse bin and incinerated it before ejecting the remains into space. As much as he’d like to do that, he needed to understand how it worked. He was a biologist but neuroscience and endocrine weren’t his strong suits. He preferred genetics. He’d have to call Mireio and pick her brain.
