#4 Chosen by the Vampire Kings: BBW Romance by Charlene Hartnady Page B

and that my breasts were”—her lip quivered—“too big.”
    “Bull
fucking shit,” Brant snarled. “I will find this human and rip his—”
    His
female giggled through her tears, she put up a hand. “No, don’t bother I don’t
even remember what I even liked about him to begin with. To think I wanted to
have them made smaller.” She cupped her lush curves making his cock harden
behind his zipper.
    Zane
made a strangled groan, he couldn’t help himself. “Make them smaller? Too big?…No
fucking way. The human must have been brain damaged. I couldn’t bring myself to
touch another female. Not after having you.” His eyes roamed over her body,
moving over each and every curve. “I am going to rut with you now female. Would
you like me to use a condom?”
    “I’m
not ready to be a mom.”
    “We’ll
keep you safe from the alpha, no need to rush into anything.” Brant said, and Zane
could hear that the male was trying to keep his voice even as he spoke.
    “Bull,
we are here to cement a partnership that will lead to a mating in eight days
and the joining of the covens. Should one of us impregnate our human now, it
would seal the deal. No way to back out before the new moon. That bastard wolf
would be forced to retreat. They’re already on the losing end.” Zane pointed up
to the battle that was taking place above them.
    “I
am not a means to seal a deal. If they’re already on the losing end, you won’t
need to…impregnate me. Just a few days ago I was single and now I have…well”—she
turned from him to Brant and back again—“two of you and I don’t know if I could
deal with a baby to add to it all…I kind of think we need to get used to this
first. Try and see if it’ll work between us.”
    Zane
could see the internal battle raging in Brant. The male pursed his lips together
in a thin white line, though a low rumble still managed to escape. As much as
he hated it, his respect for Brant grew. This whole thing was torture on the
other king. The whole possessive number he had pulled yesterday meant that he
already viewed the human as his mate as well.
    “It’s
simple,” Zane said. “The coven’s come first. That means the three of us together
is happening whether we like it or not. Do you want us both sweetness, or would
you prefer to choose come the new moon?”

    Two
sets of dark eyes bore into her. She swallowed hard, not really wanting to
answer. Earlier today she had been so sure yet when faced with reality, she
wasn’t so sure any more. “I don’t want the two of you fighting over me. I don’t
want to watch either one of you die at the hand of the other. I also don’t want
to be forced into mating a wolf. In addition, I don’t know if I’m ready to be a
mom.”
    “What do you want Tanya?” Brant took a step towards her, his eyes softened as
he spoke. “For the record. You would be pregnant for twelve months and wouldn’t
show for the first six. Pregnancies are rare and it normally takes an average
of four years for a vampire female to conceive. Humans have had a much better
success rate, although we don’t have much to go on since it is only the kings
that have been permitted to take humans as mates.”
    “Twelve
months?”
    “This
is the same for vampire females,” Zane added.
    She’d
heard that pregnancy was hard on a woman. One of her regulars at the store was
a farmer’s wife, Sandy. She devoured books and with a limited budget, could
only afford reused ones. Tanya had a whole section in her store dedicated to
second hand. She still remembered the day that Sandy had skipped into the store
and announced her pregnancy. She’d been so excited, smiling from ear to ear.
Not long after, she came in looking a lighter shade of green due to morning
sickness, except Sandy complained that hers lasted all day long. The sickness
soon evolved into back pain and headaches, not being able to sleep at night and
the need to pee all the time.
