“He will not have you,” Ketahn said. “She will not have me.”
“No one is taking me away.” Ivy closed her eyes. “I’m yours, Ketahn. No one has me but you.”
She didn’t care about the dress. All that mattered was that Ketahn hadn’t been seriously hurt. A dress could be replaced; he could not.
She was his everything. She came before all else.
“Take comfort in me, Ketahn. Use me. Let me be what you need.”
“Sorry. Humans don’t spit webs out of our butts.”
“I am yours alone, my Ivy. No other may claim me.”
“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck. It’s going to eat her!” Callie cried. He turned his face toward Callie and snarled, “Ketahn no eat Ivy!”
“You say I am not scary. I am sexy.” Ivy’s skin flushed. “Um, yeah. To me.” “Wait. What the— Are you fucking that thing?”
“Are you all seriously going to ignore the fact that she’s fucking that thing? It’s a damn spider!”
“I do not want to scare,” he said with gentleness in his deep voice, “only to protect. Ivy is my mate. You are her kind. So you are my kind, too.”
I have you, and you will always be enough.”
“That does not matter, Ivy. He touched you.”
“She is my mate. My heartsthread. Her safety is all that matters to me.”
Sometimes it seems Ketahn’s head is fuller of rocks than Urkot’s.”
“She will wear no one’s silk but mine,”
But for the first time in years, he had something truly worth living for.
What if she wanted broodlings—babies?
Are we all going to have to bend over and get fucked in exchange for their help?”
“There is only you. My Ivy.”
Fate brought me to you, my heartsthread, and even if it tried to turn me away, I would defy it. Nothing will come between us. So long as the sun, moons, and stars make their treks across the sky, you will be mine, Ivy.”
Perfect. Meeting my sister-in-law with cum running down my leg.
“A…shit,” Ahnset said with equal care, unsurprisingly failing to pronounce the p sound. “A shit is a very different thing, broodsister,” Ketahn said with a chitter.
Ivy tipped her forehead against Ahnset’s headcrest. “Thank you, sister.”
“It…has been too long since I have had a sister. I am glad to call you one now, Ay-vee.”
“He’s kind of a smart ass.” Ketahn snapped his gaze to Ivy and clicked his mandible fangs together. “I told you do not call me what poop comes from, female.”
Rekosh’s red eyes fell upon Ahmya.
“More spiders looking to steal and fuck our women?”
Telok walked toward Lacey, never once looking away from her.
“We have chosen,” Rekosh said. “When you leave, we will be with you.” “To whatever end this reaches,”
She had taken on Ella as her charge, at least for now—and no one, human or vrix, could ask for a more capable protector than Ahnset tes Ishuun’ani Ir’okari.
“There is not time to make tears.” “He just told us to quit crying, didn’t he?” Will asked Ivy.
these humans were Ivy’s people—and because of that, they were his, too.
“So long as I am with you, my heartsthread, I can never be lost.”
Cole seemed to think his opinion was correct simply because he spoke louder than the others.
She turned to look at Ketahn, gazing up into his eyes. “My dream.”
“This female is small but fierce.”
Cole had remained in the pit with Ivy.
Our souls see what our eyes can’t, and they connect no matter what’s on the outside. Our bodies…they’re just shells.”
Our souls see what our eyes can’t.
“I am with Ketahn because I choose to be. He is who I want. He is my choice. And I’d never betray him in any way.”
“Still fucking weird you’re banging a spider though.”
“Do it,” Ivy breathed. “Fuck me. Claim me. Take my body.”
“You are mine,” he rasped in her ear. “Yes,” she moaned.
“I cannot live without you, Ivy.”
“I love you, Ketahn.”
“I will return to you, my nyleea. I promise.” She closed her eyes, digging her nails a little deeper into his flesh. “You had better weave those words into the strongest bond in the universe, my luveen.”
“My hearts beat for you, Ivy.”
“And my heart beats for you. I love you, Ketahn.”
“Please come back to me,”
