Barbarian's Taming (Ice Planet Barbarians, #8)

by Ruby Dixon

This is what it is like to have a mate, I realize with wonder. Holding your female in your arms and pleasuring her. Knowing that she is yours for all time.

If she does not want me to be controlled, I will not be. If she does not want me to be patient, I will be an animal with her.

Ahhhhhh haha already this book is much better than the last one

And the knowledge that this is my female, now and forever. Mah-dee gave herself to me today, and I am never going to let her go.

Oh nooooo I hope she’s not a bitch and breaks his big alien heart

Over me, the big barbarian wheezes as if I’ve killed him.

Haha I’m dying at this

And now that I’ve pounced him, I’m disappointed that there won’t be future pouncings, because damn, that sex was amazing. But it seems that it also comes with a side dish of possessiveness, and that’s not what I want at the moment.

Girls an alien eater heartbreaker lol poor guy

Hassen stares down at me, and then turns and stalks out of the cave.

BIG SAD

“He is a poor choice in a lover because he is going to want to claim you. That one desperately wants a mate and a family. He is lonely. He will not take whatever scraps you toss him and be content. He will want more.”

“Haven’t you heard of casual sex?” “No,” he says bluntly. Gah. “People don’t sleep with other people just for fun in your tribe?” “Sometimes they do. I am not one of them.”

Haha I am loving this

I mean, overall as a race, the sa-khui are good-looking. They’re tall, muscular, well-formed, and if you can get past the blue, the tail, and the horns? Oh, mama.

This is what I try to convince my friends of to read these fuckin books lol

She has crept into my heart like a bolt of lightning and left scorch marks wherever she has touched down.

I do not need a mate that wilts and cries. I need a strong, capable female who will challenge me and push me to be better.

That’s right

I must make it difficult for her to turn me down…starting now.

“I cannot change the past. But I also do not miss your sister.” I reach out and tap her mouth, indicating she should close it. “I do not look back because I cannot change the past. You should not, either. That is one of the first things you must learn as a hunter—do not regret what you do not have. Make use of what you do.”

Perhaps I need to learn to be brave like my human. Mah-dee has been nothing but strong and confident since she awoke from the strange alien bubbles. When her sister cried, Mah-dee shielded her. When I stole her, Mah-dee fought the others and wanted to get her back. Mah-dee does not know how to quit. She does not give up, ever. And she sees everything—even this strange, empty place—as opportunity.

“My happy does not wait for later,” he tells me. “My happy is now. Here. With you. I need nothing else.”
