warrior.”
Spinning, she glared up at him. “You refuse? Well, I refuse to stay with you, damn it. You’re a man whore and I don’t do man whores.”
His mouth tensed. “I won’t be touching any woman but you from now on. That’s my offer to you and it is a generous one that you should deeply appreciate, Shanna. I have a high sex demand and I am very limited with you because I can’t mount you. I am still willing to offer this to you because I find immense pleasure touching you and in you touching me.”
She cocked her head, staring up at him, frowning. It was the way he’d said it that didn’t sit well with her, something about it made her inner alarm go off. It clicked.
“You can’t mount your house helpers either so why point that out?”
He blinked, frowning. “I mount them.”
Staring up at him, she tried to figure it out but she was lost. “Maybe we’re getting our wires crossed. Mount means fucking, right? The actual act of you putting…” Her eyes lowered to his cock and then rose to his face. “Inside a woman, right? That’s mounting? I thought you said it was.”
He nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. “That is mounting.”
Shock tore through her. “You mount them but you said you couldn’t mount me. I thought you couldn’t actually enter a woman that way because you were already bound to someone.”
“Alluwn’s punishment to me is I can’t release my seed inside a woman I am not bound to so I will never again know the pleasure of spilling my seed into a woman’s body and bringing life forth from her body with more sons or daughters.”
It all sank in. Berrr fucked his house helpers but he hadn’t fucked her and that stung. She spun, walking the rest of the way to the bed. “Leave, Hyvin. Go mount your house helpers and leave me the hell alone.”
“You are angry with me again because I didn’t mount you?” He sounded shocked.
She refused to even look at him as she tore the comforter down and got into bed. “Leave, Hyvin. I’m exhausted and tomorrow will be a big day for me. I’m going to marry Oval or some other alien guy who doesn’t have house helpers.”
A snarl sounded loudly in the room. She ignored him as she settled on the bed under the covers. She’d learned this nifty trick from her ex-husband, how it was near impossible to argue with someone who refused to speak and who just went to bed, him having done that to her plenty of times. Closing her eyes, she took steady, deep breaths and tried to calm down. Berrr isn’t worth getting this upset about. He can take his six harem women, fuck them until he drops, and I’m leaving tomorrow.
She heard a door open and relief swept through her, knowing he was leaving to go back to his women, but pain struck her too. She’d really been attracted to Berrr but hoped she’d get along with Oval better, regretted not giving Oval a chance. She’d been scared, upset, and she’d clung to Berrr because he had protected her and made her feel safe.
Tears burned behind her eyelids while pain sliced through her as she tried to push it back. So what if I’d been falling for the guy? Men are assholes, I know that or at least I should by now. I was stupid to let my guard down, stupid to think he was different, stupid to let myself feel so much for him, she told herself.
The door opened, startling Shanna enough to make her lift her head and look toward her door. Hyvin Berrr stormed naked into the bedroom, slammed the door behind him, and held something in his hands that resembled a few thin material belts. As he stormed right for her bed, Shanna just stared at the furious Zorn.
“I told them to not come in here and to move to another room in the morning so it is done.” He climbed up on the bed. “I know you are angry but you will get past it once you realize that I can be just with you like your human honor demands from a male and I will be that male. I am going to sleep with just you every night.”
