she tried to focus on whether or not she should drink, but the harder she focused, the more muddled her mind became until all she could think of was an argument from The Princess Bride.

Alejandra froze and recalled the odd look Auzed had given her when she’d kissed him.
Austin-Jolie
I mean two of his brothers are mated to humans and he guards humans for a living. I think he knows about kissing or is aware that its a thing

“I don’t know about you,” Meg whispered while eying the savage opponent who’d flipped his own board, “but this ridiculousness is making my weakness for himbos flare up real bad.”

The echo and ping of an empty glass hitting the pool edge hit her ears. Another yubskani down.

The bright light shining on the other side of her lids vanished, and she knew he was standing over her, blocking out the sun.

Just as Alex had predicted, she and Auzed lounged in the golden light of the setting sun until faint stars twinkled in the lavender sky.

Because we’ll be going our separate ways so soon? Her heart fractured at the idea.

But Lily also didn’t want to return to Earth. She had no one there worrying about her and wondering where she’d gone.

Any reservations he’d had before had dissolved in the wake of their intense day in the sun.

He’d need to convince her to become a demskiv. To be shunned and sneered at by most of the Clecanian population for the rest of their lives.
Austin-Jolie
Why would humans be put on the same level ?? Like the women here are used to the lifestyle but the human women are not and only know of their ideas of marriage. Weird asf to put that on a group of people that were uprooted by your species

Alex, so full of life and adventure, would grow to despise him if he cloistered her away. But what else could he do? Let her go?

Her accusations of his hesitancy to quit his job and be with her came back to him. She hadn’t been wrong about that either.

He had money. He had knowledge. Hell, he could pilot a small ship and take her off-world if he really wanted to. Settle on some barren planet and hope she’d come to accept it over the years. But he’d never do it. She’d hate me, and I’d hate myself.
Austin-Jolie
Why are you the least normal of the past 3 MLs ? They were possessive but not to the kidnapping degree. This is like. the third or fourth time you've had this thought dude

If she’d held back instead of flirting and pushing, none of this would’ve happened. She’d treated him like a boyfriend on a planet where boyfriends didn’t work.
Austin-Jolie
Girl you were abducted and then booked it when rescuers showed up. Then you proceeded to camp out before being washed away. You applying what you know about romance isnt a bad thing, you were given the crashiests of courses on how things work with little practice

And though she hadn’t been plotting her escape back to Earth like some mustache-twirling villain set on breaking him, she couldn’t deny that leaving was her goal.
Austin-Jolie
Also him making her feel bad about wanting to see her family pisses me off because he is just as gaga about family as she is. He literally said he was going to see his family first thing when they got back

A cowardly part of her didn’t know if she could handle being a demskiv. And what if he grew to resent their life together?
Austin-Jolie
This was such a valid point because he couldnt even school his features around the 2 people who were, how tf did he think he would be able to handle that social label when he became one for her

She’d only known Auzed for a week, and though she trusted her feelings toward him, she also knew intensity like this often fizzled out over time.

“You did offer to marry me. Once. You may not remember, since it clearly wasn’t sincere, but I do. A Clecanian male would never forget an offer like that.”

Maybe he could pilot a ship and abduct the rest of her family. Then she wouldn’t have to worry about them going on without her. What if he found the most powerful Swadaeth and forced them to sway her into forgetting about her family?
