“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.”
“There is no part of you I do not like, Ivy.”
“Nothing will keep me from returning to you, my heartsthread.”
“I am yours alone, my Ivy. No other may claim me.”
Subtly shifting his gaze, Ketahn glared at Cole. “I protect you. Not him.”
“You say I am not scary. I am sexy.”
You will always be enough.
“You are mine. And I will make sure none can question it. I will roar my claim to the entire jungle.”
“I don’t even know why it needs to be said, but what she does with her body”—he nodded toward Ivy—“isn’t any of your business. It’s not anyone’s business but hers.”
Hell yea!
“Our heartsthreads, our spirits, are all that matter, and they are bound. 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.”
D,: That is so beautiful...
Ivy tipped her forehead against Ahnset’s headcrest. “Thank you, sister.” Ahnset’s mandibles twitched as though with uncertainty, and then fell. A soft trill sounded in her chest. She closed her eyes and released a long, shallow breath. “It…has been too long since I have had a sister. I am glad to call you one now, Ay-vee.”
Our souls see what our eyes can’t, and they connect no matter what’s on the outside. Our bodies…they’re just shells.”
“Ivy is mine,” he said in English, his accent thicker than normal. “Do not touch. Do not look with want. Do not even think. Understand?”
“Fuck me. Claim me. Take my body.” Like you’ve taken my heart.
You make it sound like we’re soulmates. Maybe you are. How else could you have found each other?
When a male calls his female his heartsthread, it is…everything. I want only you, Ivy. My hearts beat for you.”
“Humans call that love.” “Love,” he echoed, stroking her with his fingers and claspers. “That is what I have for you, Ivy. And it will outlast the Tangle, the stars from which you came, even the Eight themselves. You are my nyleea always.”
“My hearts beat for you, Ivy.” “And my heart beats for you. I love you, Ketahn.”
Protector, let me be their shield. Hunter, let me be their provider. Delver, let me be their guide. By your eightfold eyes, watch over my new kin... Or stand aside that I may do so myself.
