“And that is why I managed to stay awake and you did not.” Darrol sipped again. “Anyway, Queen Riviana, I had to set up the systems. It’s not enough just to hook up a computer. You need to get it formatted properly before you can hack with it. I will say though, this system is a blessing. These pieces are the best that money can buy. I just needed to get the proper software onto them before I was able to hack into any systems. And I made sure that I took my time as well.” He was looking at the screens as he spoke. “I didn’t want to move too fast and set off their alarms.”
“So, does that mean that you were able to get into their systems?” I sat at my desk and eyed him excitedly.
“Oh yes, I managed it.” He grinned at me. “And I set up a nice little goodie bag for us as well.” His eyes were glinting as he spoke, but he still had his eyes glued to the screen in front of him. “I have been going through the information ever since I collected it. Thankfully, it was in the middle of the night when I cracked into their systems. And that means that there were a lot less eyes on their mainframe. They likely won’t notice that anything happened at all. And it was a clean copy of their system, so there is no evidence left behind from the heist.”
I shook my head after listening to Darrol’s words. I knew what he was saying, I really did, but my sleep deprived brain just wasn’t keeping up with him at the moment.
“I don’t get it. Didn’t you say you left a goodie bag?”
“Ahh, yes, that. I did leave a goodie bag, but this isn’t something that is immediately noticeable. It’s a collection virus. It won’t affect their systems at all, it just copies everything that their systems do. This will allow us to collect more information as they enter it. And all of that information is then uploaded to a secure remote server. It will be untraceable when I collect that information for us. Which means that even if they discover this virus, they won’t be able to trace it back to me at all.”
“As long as it is untraceable, then I am all for it. I don’t want to put any of us in danger, but I agree that we need as much information as possible. When the reveal is over, and when we are all safe, we can remove that virus from their system.”
“Yes, of course Queen Riviana, that won’t be an issue at all.” Darrol grinned knowingly. “Now, as I was saying earlier, I collected a lot of information that I will need to sort through, but I first went through the files from the man that visited Director Otsana. Agent Orson had a lot of files on a lot of people, but there wasn’t much substance to any of them. The bulk of his information seemed to be focused on the lack of aging. I am still going through it all, but I don’t think that they are anywhere near a public announcement just yet.”
“That is good news.” I felt a rush of relief. “If they aren’t too close to the truth yet, then I don’t think that we need to worry as much. We are moving at a quick pace to get all of this done. We should have all of this completed long before they have the chance to reveal anything to the press about us.”
“I agree.” Joaquin said as he sat next to me in another chair. I think he could tell that I wasn’t really wanting to sit with him at the moment. If he pulled me onto his lap I would probably fall right to sleep. “However, we can’t afford to drop our guard just yet. Reggie?” Joaquin called to her, and she perked up again. I could tell that she had been up almost the entire night as well.
“Mmhmm?” She looked up at him sleepily. “Yes, King Joaquin?”
“I want you to help Darrol sort the information that he has collected. Later today, in the afternoon, I will have a couple more sets of hands for you.”
“O..O..O..OK.” Reggie yawned out the word, starting it over and over again in the attempt to get it out.
“For the time being, both of you need to get some sleep. Go to the rooms that we have prepared for you. Riviana and I are going to get some sleep as well. A few hours at the very least. None of us are any good in this situation unless we are rested and can think.”
“Aww, I have to stop working?” Darrol said as he tore his eyes away from the computer screen.
“For a little bit, Darrol, that is all. You need to sleep. You need to be rested so that you can work effectively. Later, you will have more help to sort the information that you have.”
“OK, I understand.” Darrol rose from the computer and stretched his body. I heard several groans, creaks, and pops as he moved. I could tell that he had been in the same position for a long time. That was the only thing that would explain the noises that his body made just then.
“Come on, Riviana.” Joaquin reached for me. “Let us get some sleep. We need our rest as well.”
“Yeah, I agree.” I nodded at him. That burst of energy from the coffee was already wearing off. I was exhausted after yesterday.
I took Joaquin’s hand and let him pull me toward the elevator. Darrol and Reggie were heading in the other direction, toward the guest homes that were part of the castle. They would be fine on their own, there were a lot of people here that would be able to help them.
Stepping into the elevator, Joaquin pressed the button for the top, where our room was. I sent a message to Roisin and let her know that Joaquin and I were going to bed. I didn’t need her going into our room to clean it while we were sleeping. That wouldn’t be fun at all.

I could see how tired my Little Bunny was. And how unsteady she was on her feet. She had had an exhausting day, one that was still going on even now. And with all of the stuff that we still needed to do it wasn’t about to end anytime soon.
Oh, the days would come to an end and a new one would begin, but the exhaustion would persist. And with her being pregnant again, I was worried that all of this was going to get to her and cause problems again. I didn’t think that I could handle another scary episode with one of our kids like that. It was always hard to see my Little Bunny in that situation.
I was supporting my Little Bunny as we climbed into the elevator and rode it up to our room. Once we were almost to the top, I swung my Little Bunny up into my arms and cradled her against me as I walked into the room.
“Joaquin.” She protested a little.
“Shh. It’s OK, Little Bunny.” I told her as I kicked off my shoes and set her on the edge of the bed. “I will take care of you.” I pulled the shoes off of her feet and started to strip her out of the business suit that she was wearing. Neither of us wanted to be wearing those clothes when we went to sleep.
“I need a shower before I sleep.” She looked down at her body and made a face in disgust. “I feel groggy after being up all night.”
…..
“You are fine for right now. We will take a shower after our nap.”
“Fine.” She didn’t protest at all. “Come on, let me get this off of you.” I slipped the jacket down her arms and then started to unbutton the sleeveless blouse that she was wearing.
After my Little Bunny was stripped of the clothes, sitting there in her underwear only, I started to take the suit I was wearing off.
“Ugh. I don’t want to wear these right now either.” She protested and started to strip off the bra and panties. I had already taken off the pantyhose that she had been wearing. I have to say that seeing her sitting there naked got me excited. I couldn’t help it. She was my mate after all. I would always respond to her like this. And that small rounding to her belly where my child was growing inside of her was sexy as hell. It was just more proof that Riviana was mine. She was my Little Bunny and nothing else.
I finished removing my clothes in record time and climbed into the bed with my wife. When I pulled her up against me, I am sure that she noticed the excitement in my own body. I mean, she could feel it after all, pressing against her thigh as she snuggled against me.
“Mmm, I see that someone got himself a little happy.”
“It’s your fault.” I growled excitedly in her ear because she had accompanied her words with a full body wiggle that pressed her against my erect shaft. “Who was it that stripped off the only thing that was stopping me from taking you?”
