When She Belongs (Risdaverse, #4)

by Ruby Dixon

He’s sweet and clever and follows commands really well,

I want one

and I learned long ago that begging helps nothing. It just takes away your dignity. So I won’t beg.

I’ll accept this, just like I do with everything else, and keep on surviving.

Not that I would ever complain. I chose this life, and I have no regrets.

Uh huh. Sure.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll.

Um. Why an Earth book in another part of the galaxy?

It's that they're prominent and noticeable and catch the attention of alien perverts, and so I hate them.

Ok. Thats fair.

"You're such a good girl, Sophie," he murmurs. "Such a good girl for even trying."

Jerrok hesitates, then puts a hand to the back of my neck and presses a kiss to my brow. "I like your company."

Then, she boops my nose and leaves the room.

Ok i love this crazy bitch

Does Sophie want to stay but she's afraid to ask…because she's happy with me?

"I love you," she tells me. "I want to stay here forever with you. I love being here. I love being at your side. I love waking up with you. But I didn't want you to feel pressured into taking on someone just because we slept together. I know how much you value your freedom—" I lean forward and press my brow against hers. "It's not freedom if I'm missing you. I wouldn't ever ask you to stay if you wanted to go, but…if you stayed, it'd make me the happiest male in the universe."

Her burdens are my burdens, and I want to help, whatever it is.

Remember that when she gets you new limbs.
