“Blood for blood, Zurvashi,”
For all the might in your body, Zurvashi, you are the weakest vrix in Takarahl.”
True strength was found not in muscle and bone, but in hearts and spirit.
There were no words venomous enough, no curses vile enough, nothing brief and firm enough to fit the situation but a simple human term. Fuck.
If all the black space between the stars and more than a hundred years had not been able to keep Ketahn and Ivy apart, this door certainly would not prevent their reunion.
“You must give me your word, Ketahn.” “What do you ask of me?” “Find Ahnset. Take her far away from Takarahl and see that she never returns.”
The sickness in her belly hadn’t fully subsided, but now it was accompanied by a cramp in her pelvis.
Period or pregnant????
“I will come back to you, my heartsthread. I will always come back.”
He’d always known the truth, had always known what it would take. This would end when Zurvashi was dead.
This was where she was meant to be, in his arms. This was where she felt right. Where she felt loved.
But worst of all was that pressure in her pelvis.
The instant her legs had to support her weight, that sharp, cramping pain flared in her pelvis.
“What is woman stuff?”
“Bad things happen when you pee.”
“Never thought this would be my life. From grad school to pissing in the woods.”
What did it matter how large or small a male’s stem was compared to those of his friends?
Did male humans need to prove themselves worthy of potential mates by proving they had the largest stems?
She smiled to herself. Her mate. Her lover. Her very own sexy, insatiable spider man.
“Nothing from his ass is getting anywhere near these cuts.”
“Man, you bastards are scary possessive,” Diego muttered
“Never one question from a human. Why always many?”
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
“We will live.”
She’d grown up in a family that had never felt like family, and now, with Ketahn, Ahnset, and the others, she had one. A real one.
“Ahnset said we should sneak off and have kinky, dirty, hot sex.” She wiggled her eyebrows.
“I do not wish to waste time in anger.”
“I am happy. I am full of pride. I am full of love. For Ivy Foster is my mate, and no one on any world can claim such fortune.”
“We are not slow. We are watching the rear.” Lacey rolled her eyes. “You’ve been watching a rear, that’s for sure.”
“Wow. These vrix really aren’t that different from human guys. Bunch of lust-crazed animals.”
“Bunch of freaky sex fiends.”
“Get that little booty in here!”
“Say that scars were pain. She should not look upon them with shame. She does not have to feel pride, but when she sees them, she should take pride in herself. Because she survived whatever left them. Because she, like each of you, is strong.”
“Are you thinking of Rekosh, Ahmya?” Callie asked, grinning wide.
“Keep telling yourself that. I bet you’re wondering if his cock is as red as his—”
“So there is fire in you.”
“I can only say with Ketahn that his, uh… Its color matches his markings.”
“That’s all I’m going to be picturing now.” “A rainbow of cocks?”
“Well, you have your answer now, Ahmya. A red rocket.”
“A mate cannot be attracted by a hidden stem. And I do not see how something so small and grub-like could attract any females.”
“I cannot imagine my stem swinging freely all the time,” said Urkot. “That does not seem safe or comfortable. Does it not hit their legs as they walk?”
“That could be why they cover their stems. To prevent the swinging.”
“We could have landed on some ice planet. Least the weather is nice enough here for skinny dipping.”
Family. This was her new family, her real family, brought together not by blood but by circumstance, bonded by tragedy and shared struggle.
“I have need of you, female.”
“He’s like…Tarzan but with extra legs and stuff.”
“I want to claim you.”
“My little mate means to claim me?”
“I cannot overpower you,” she whispered, “but I will conquer you all the same.”
“You are mine, Ketahn. You will always be mine.”
I’m stronger than I look, Ketahn. I’m not going to break with a little rough sex. And this love bite was so worth it.”
