smiled and Hope understood.
Part of her found the encounter with Viper mind blowing. In the end it qualified as the best sex she'd ever had, but overall it was beyond fucked up. Although from what she gathered Viper wasn't all to blame, it still didn't mean she was head over heals in love. Not to mention the way he lost his shit with JP or anyone else that came too close, it was over the top.
"What if a man tries to force a female not because he's in heat? I don't know what you call it?"
"Mating heat is an acceptable translation. Our brothers and sire keep us safe from lonely males. There is no excuse for a male to force a female since there are females who have lost males or who are older and have yet to find their true mate who are willing to mount more freely, hoping to find someone to form a bond with."
Hope assumed Acris meant old maids and widows would have sex without marrying though it sounded like they too were looking for someone special rather than just having a good time.
"I do not understand what you meant by Viper would get over you and move on." Acris asked looking confused.
"Do your people ever divorce or end a mating?" Hope asked.
Acris looked horrified.
"We mate for life. As long as a mate is alive no one else can, um" Acris looked suddenly very embarrassed.
It was Hope's turn to look horrified.
"Please explain." Hope begged even though she had a feeling where this was going.
"Well no one interests me but Basilisk." Acris paused and they all stared at her waiting. "And my Basilisk would not be capable of performing with another female." Acris said lowering her head in embarrassment.
"Oh my god, are you saying it doesn't get hard for anyone else?!" JP asked.
Acris blushed, or so Hope assumed, since her color changed dramatically as she nodded.
"Well that's a trade off." Tara said. "Certainly guarantees Viper won't cheat on you." Tara said to Hope, and she swatted her friend again.
"Holy Shit! So Viper is stuck with me." Hope shook her head in shock.
He couldn't even hope to find anyone new. She could potentially go hump the entire ship but not him. Although quite frankly the thought of someone else didn't really interest her at the moment either. The thought of Viper being flaccid for every other woman pleased her even though it shouldn't.
Hope wasn't at all sure she wanted to be tied to the man. She barely knew Viper. He was hot, even as different as he was, but that really didn't mean they'd get along. She didn't see how wild monkey sex meant they should be mated for life. Hope imagined lots of sex in between her yelling at Viper for bashing other dudes heads in, for looking at her funny.
"I should be going Uxorem." Acris said as she got up.
"Please call me Hope. Thank you for talking with us."
"It was my pleasure, and it was nice meeting you." Acris said to her friends.
Once she left JP turned to Hope.
"Does that mean if you refuse to be married to that hulking alien man he's limp for life?"
"Serves him right for forcing Hope." Tara groused.
"That's cruel!" JP admonished her.
Hope knew JP didn't like her being mistreated, but he seemed to understand better than Tara, that Viper hadn't intentionally forced her.
"It really is Tara. I know it's not right, but you also weren't there." Hope said. "When Viper came out of his horn dog haze, he was very remorseful. He realizes we are not the same and hasn't made me uncomfortable since." She tried to explain to her friend.
"What do you call attacking JP?" Tara demanded.
She had a point.
"He's been growling at everybody." Hope offered up in excuse, not quite sure why she was defending Viper.
"Like a dog with a bone. Watch it if he wants to pee on your leg." JP laughed.
"Shut up!" Hope said even though they were right. Viper had some major jealousy issues. "I know it's not normal. I don't know what the hell is going on." Hope shook her head in confusion.
"You like him!" Tara accused.
"Um hmm." JP confirmed.
Maybe she did.
"Ugh, this
