Taken to Nobu (Xiveri Mates, #2)

by Elizabeth Stephens

“Because I will never fuck you. You are too precious for that. Tonight I will breed you and I will do it as Kinan for this is my slave name and I am nothing if not a slave to you.”

She laughs. “There’s nothing honorable about it. I just realized that the only power he has anymore is the one I give him. He’s a disgraced fool and he deserves nothing from me, least of all power.”

The thought has the corners of my mouth twitching in the makings of a carefully repressed smile and just like that, hate slips so easily away. Love weighs so much less. Nothing at all. It is pure buoyancy.

“You are Peixal, the worthless. And that is all you will ever be known as to me. And you can be sure that I will be the last soul alive who remembers you. I will never speak of you to anyone and when I die, you will be forgotten. It will be like you never even lived.”
