Flor's Fiasco (Icehome, #16)

by Ruby Dixon

I have been chasing after the wrong female all along. Truly, my khui is far wiser than me.

“How many times must I make it very clear that you are my mate? That when I am with you I am complete? That I lack for nothing because you are everything I have ever wanted? That the thought of touching T’ia now, when you are nearby, makes me want to chop my own hands off?”

“You are mine. If T’ia was being attacked by sky-claw and you had a splinter in your finger, I would let them chew freely upon her because your hand comes first.”
