Ice Planet Honeymoon: Vektal and Georgie (Ice Planet Barbarians, #1.5)

Nearby, Haeden looks at me with disgust. “Did you just lick your hand?”

🤣🤣🤣

“You are my home, Georgie. Wherever you are, that is where I want to be.”

I tell her of sa-khui customs, the few that we have. Sometimes if someone does not come back from a hunt, there is no body to be found. Sometimes it is left behind for scavengers, only knives and personal possessions passed on to the family. Horns are etched and cut to show grief, snow poured over the head and the mourner keening their loss. The tribe celebrates the life of the one that has passed, and then…the world goes on. When there are dead, they are taken to an unused cave, dressed in their finest leathers, and then the cave is collapsed so they may sleep eternally. My father—and many others—sleep in such a cave thanks to the khui sickness.

“One of the females said that Zennek’s mate is a man-eater,” Cashol says. “Should we warn him to be wary of her? Do you think she truly devours human flesh?”

🤣🤣🤣
