enforce my claim on you.”
    He
put his forehead to hers. Becky clasped his upper arms. “But aren’t you angry
with me? You can’t still want me.”
    “You
are mine, Becky.” He pulled away slightly.
    “No…don’t
say that. I can’t—”
    “Don’t
deny it…” He growled.
    She
pursed her lips while still clutching his arms, her little fingers digging into
him. “What do you mean by enforce your claim?”
    With
great reluctance, he took a step back breaking their contact. “I will fight the
vampire for you.”
    “No.”
She rushed forward, grabbing ahold of him. Her eyes wide with panic. “You
can’t…please.”
    “I
am a good fighter. I am sure I will win.” Rushe smiled. “I’ll be back to claim
you.”
    “What,
Rushe,…do you just plan to walk into their castle and fight Ross?” Her voice
was shrill.
    He
nodded.
    “You’ll
be strung up…they will tear you to pieces,” she whispered the last.
    “It’s
good to know that you care.” He kissed her softly on the forehead. He would
save a real kiss for when he returned.
    “Don’t
go, please. Don’t do it for me. I can’t mate you anyway so it would be for
nothing, please. Come inside I’ll make you some tea.”
    He
smiled at her, wanting to ease her fear. “The vampires might be a bunch of
dicks but they have honor. At least they used to have honor.” His mind went to
Brant and what the male had done to Ward and Stephany. “I am sure they will
allow me to fight”—his voice dropped to a growl and his teeth clenched—“with
this Ross.”
    A
tear tracked down his female’s cheek, which she quickly wiped away. “You will
die, Rushe. Listen to me, please….I beg you…” Another tear escaped, but she
ignored it.
    Rushe
wiped away the moisture with his thumb. “I will be back and you will be mine…”
He turned and strode from the room.

python.
