Barbarian's Mate (Ice Planet Barbarians, #6)

by Ruby Dixon

I am the only male to have two mates and yet have never touched a woman.

“They are no longer unmated,” I growl at him, and then I storm past. I ignore the confused question he sends my way and head on to the caves. Let the others answer him. I am in no mood.

Does she truly think I would force her? Is that why she is so miserable at the thought of mating to me? Are human men like this? If so, she should be glad that she resonated to a sa-khui hunter. We do not mount females without their welcome.

Maybe I need to suck it up, too. Maybe I need to accept that, like the alien ancestors that crashed here, we don’t always get a choice in our future, and we need to make the best of things.

No one ever seems to kiss me, and I’d love for just one really wonderful kiss.

There are many things that I have done wrong this day. I will right them, or die trying.

Maybe I’ve been too mean to him.
