Penny's Protector (Icehome, #9)

by Ruby Dixon

He yelled at I’rec and O’jek, too. Told them I was precious. I’ve never been precious to anyone.

Since that day, though, I have been lost. All other females have faded away and there is only P'nee.

I want to know what it’s like to be adored and cherished, to be looked at like I’m the best thing he’s ever seen. Kind of like the way S’bren’s looking at me right now.

The ancestors say there is no taste quite like that of a resonance mate on the tongue.

This is repeated over and over in the Icehome and Ice Planet Barbarian series both. It gets pretty annoying after a while. We get it.

"I like the way you look," he tells me. "That's good, because I can't do much about it," I tease back.

The Penny from before shied away from that idea. The Penny from before was kinda dumb.
