In this scene from Ring of the Dragon, Pietas is awaiting the arrival of General Cyken. The immortal king opted for casual wear instead of his uniform because Pietas and Cyken had been lovers for untold eons, and Pietas wants to impress him, refusing to believe it's over.
So now he's on his own fretting over whether Cyken will like what he sees, and depending on his android bodyguard/servant to fill him in on the man's arrival.
Pietas should have left his hair down instead of having it tied back. He reached up, but stopped short. He couldn't lift his arms far enough to remove the elastic tie without aggravating his old injury. Pushing beyond the normal ache left him in pain for days.
He could ask for assistance, but what kind of king was so indecisive he couldn't decide how to wear his hair?
As Cyken was so fond of saying, "Not happening, Pietas." Up it stayed.
Besides, to Cyken, outward appearances meant nothing.
Then why change clothes three times? This was ridiculous. Pietas lived in uniform. He ought to have worn that.
Made this meeting more formal. King and subject.
But no, Pietas had opted for casual. Relaxed and inviting.
"Stand there and don't move. Be patient for once in your life. Stop fussing. You look fine. You will not look in the mirror. You will stop worrying. Hold your head up, keep your shoulders back and ignore the pain. You can do this. You will do this."
The silence dragged on his nerves.
Oh, what was the use? Cyken would still find him lacking.
Where was the man? Why wasn't he here yet?
The entrance opened, but it was only Uurah.
"Where is he?"
The android bowed. "His ship is docking."
Pietas did a slow pivot. "Presentable?"
"On the viewscreen, he appeared to be wearing a suit, my lord. Quite presentable."
Tightening his jaws, Pietas showed him a toothless smile. "Thank you ever so much. Now, how do I look?"

Forever Love -- the third book in the Antonello Brothers: Immortal series makes its debut today, May 13, 2021.
Writing this series has been a huge blessing and a joy. It's also been one of the hardest and most daring things I've ever done. I pushed myself with tight deadlines and the idea of a bonus story for each book.
I met every deadline and wrote the additional stories. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I did it.
Thank you for your help in making these books a success.

In this scene from Forever Love, Izzorah and his cousin, Chynk, are touring Kin Kids Healthcare. Izzorah helped create the facility for children who don't have government healthcare. In general, any child whose parent/s are undocumented aliens can be covered.
Izzorah accompanied Chynk to the entrance of the clinic, but once there, his cousin halted. "Izzy, the construction people say the smells will be gone in a day or two, but I think it's going to take more time. I'll get us each a filter mask. Wait here."
"It's fine. I'll go with you."
"No." Chynk stabbed a finger at the ground. "Stay put." He held up a small breather, a mask that fit only over the mouth and nose. "I have this. You don't." With a glare at Izzorah and another meaningful stab at the floor, Chynk held the mask over his nose as he went back inside.
After taking a gulp of fresh air, Izzorah re-entered. The ceiling in the new clinic was almost as high as the central hearth in a Kin's home. Not as high as Luc's ceilings, but still way up there. The open rafters looked natural. No paint on the wood. Wide windows with arches at the tops let in plenty of light, just like back home. The walls were such a light green they looked white at first. A curving, kanya wood counter wrapped one side of the room. You could see into the office behind it, and past that, into the open doors of treatment rooms.
"What are you doing in here?" Chynk kitsed, still out of sight. The Kin's subsonic language, a step down from telepathy and a step up from speech. It allowed private communication around humans.
On their homeworld, females used it in hunting seasons, but males were discouraged from using it. His father said he sometimes did with other dads at family gatherings. Izzorah's cousins had used it back when he couldn't see. Through kits, they had been his eyes.
"Where are you?" Izzorah kitsed back. "How did you know I'd come in?"
"I'm downstairs, and I know because you're a skik who can't follow directions."
"Well, I was curious." Izzorah kitsed back. "So claw me." Light-headed and with his eyes burning, he darted back outside to breathe.

In this scene from Forever Love, Izzorah is spending time with Pietas, hoping to understand him. The one thing Izzorah fears most is falling from a great height, due to an accident several years ago. He is barely able to stand near a window in a tall building. Pietas has led him into an aviary built for dragons, unaware of his fear.
Pietas turned on soft red lights that glowed in the floor, like the backstage of a concert.
This room echoed as if it were huge, but in the dark, Izzorah couldn't tell. Where were they?
"Come in." The lights brightened and revealed steps and seats, like a stadium or theater. "Mind your feet." Pietas offered a hand.
Izzorah slid his hands into his pockets. "Thanks, but I'm good."
"As you wish." Pietas went down a few steps. "Join me. I want to show you something that I guarantee you've never seen before."
Though it was dark, the light along the steps revealed enough for Izzorah to find his way. Impossible when he'd had limited sight, but now, easy. He went down three steps. Paused. Listened. The sound echoed even more here.
Pietas touched his arm. "One more."
Izzorah took the final step. The sound changed. Hollowed, as if the ceiling rose far above them.
Or the floor dropped away.
"Where are we?" Heart in his throat, Izzorah fumbled back, but almost tripped over a step. He threw out his hands for balance.
"Easy." Pietas took his arm, steadying him. "This is the aviary. One of your tests will be here, but I'm giving you a peek from a different angle. Lights."
Overhead lights snapped on, flooding the room like sunlight.
The room stretched out into nothingness.
Sandy-colored floor.
Black walls.
Soaring ceiling.
Space.
The room tilted.
The maw opened, pulling him down.
