Kindle Notes & Highlights
Climbing up to her, I notice a long scrape down the side of her calf. Tiny beads of blood spot her wound, her leg marred with dirt. She did hurt herself. I imagine her scrape is painful. My nostrils flare.
Human males have cocks so they can penetrate and copulate with their female counterparts. The text says this act is something intimate partners share. It may explain why Delilah waved to the male at the festival. If she is interested in having a partner, she would expect this type of interaction. This new knowledge excites me. The more I’m near her, the more I imagine what a union between us would be like, if she would ever let me have access to her body. The book says it is pleasurable, and perhaps my pleasuring of her will steer her eyes toward me and away from others.
“Delilah.” He murmurs my name, his low voice sending shivers up my spine. “I have something to tell you.” My heart stutters. “Y-you do?” He leans into me and loosens his hold on my arm, his fingertips trailing upward. “I want to be closer to you, my queen. More than anything, I want this.” Queen.
She is not mine. Not yet. But soon, she will be.
want you,” he whispers, his voice rough. “I want you too,” I say so quietly I barely hear my own words. He straightens as a wicked, eager look flickers across his face. “It’s settled then.” “What’s settled?” “We’re partners now, you and I. There will be no one else from now on. Tonight I will make you dinner, and afterward, my queen, you’ll take my cock.”
His gaze flicks back to me. “I don’t want to eat more. What I want is to put my cock inside you.”
“Good, my queen.” Beyond pleased she knows who’s about to push inside her. “I need you to know that it’s me, Hollowstalk, you’re spread for.”
“Good girl.”
“Look around you. What are you searching for that isn’t already here? You have food, shelter, privacy, protection—” “I…” I catch my breath, swallow, and try not to drown. He takes a step toward me. “—you have me!”
“Love me, Delilah.” I press my mouth against her sweet opening. “Love me, and I will give you everything. Everything I can give.”
“My queen.”
“My king.”
