I’m gone for him. It’s hopeless. I’m one hundred percent gone on this kinky fucking alien and I can’t even feel sorry about it.
“You are beautiful to me, and I want nothing more than to mate with you, and keep you always safe and happy and well. I will watch over you, until your time comes and you are Changed. And then, if you will allow it, I will watch over you until we are made smoke, and join the ancestors in the sky.”
I like the way he says ‘your alien’, because it sounds right. Tal’jen is mine in a way that no-one’s ever been mine before.
Tal’jen smiles up at me, and reaches up to tousle my hair. It’s affectionate and cute and I kinda love it.
God, I love him. God help me, I really do.
Hie eyes narrow, and I know what’s coming. I mean, it’s probably me.
“How brave of you, to insult a man who cannot understand you. How clever of you, to criticize him on your first impression before you know his true strengths and weaknesses. How kind of you, to do so to my face, before so many. You are truly a great man. It is a pity that you will never be First among us. What wonders you would have achieved, had you led us with all your courage, and cleverness, and kindness.”
“Okay. So they think you’re ‘fertile’ and Leo’s ‘virile’. What the hell does that make me?” “Pre-pubescent,” I tell him, and the look on his face is too hilarious for words.
“You don’t know that! I always catch whatever’s going around, I’m very susceptible to things. So if ‘wombs’ are going around I’m probably going to catch one!”
So I go to him. Of course I do. He’s my mate. He’s all mine. And he’s perfect.
