― Ruby Dixon, Barbarian's Tease

“Bitch, please. You try and run in snowshoes.” She gives an adorably indignant snort. “Then we can talk about who’s sweating and who’s not.”

“This bitch will be happy to take you for a bath, then.”

A startled giggle bursts out of her, and my sac tightens in response. I am filled with longing for her. “Oh my god, that’s so cute. You called yourself bitch.”

“Should I not? You called me bitch.” I move to the front of the cave to grab a bowlful of snow to toss onto the fire.

“Bitch is insulting, but lovingly so.” Brooke chuckles.

“Humans have strange language.” I ignore the way my heart hammers at her description. Lovingly so. “Drink your tea fast, then, bitch.”

“Oh boy. No, you can’t use it like that.”

“Oh, come on. It’s just a braid. If you hate it, you can take it out. And I’ve done lots of guy hair before.”

He grins. “Very well, but if it looks ridiculous, you must remember so we can tell my Claire all about it.”

I chuckle at that unexpected response. “I’ll do you one better. If it looks completely silly, I’ll recreate it when we get home so Claire can have a good laugh.”

His face lights up at the thought of making his mate smile”

“Sometimes it’s good to talk to another woman about your problems instead of your man. Your man is going to want to fix it. Another woman will listen sympathetically while you bitch and will take your side, no matter how wrong or crazy your side may be.”

“I come here when my heart is sad,” Taushen says softly. “And somehow, this place makes my spirit glad once more. That I can see such a place and touch it. That I can live where such a thing can exist, and then, perhaps, I think everything is not so bad.”

“Of course I am jealous,” I bite out, my tail flicking. “You smile at other males but never at me. You chatter and touch their hair, and ignore me. You touch their arms, but you hate my touch. You give your happy thoughts freely to others, and there are none for me. I want all of it. I want everything you have. I want your tears, your touches, your smiles, your frowns. I want it all, and I do not wish to share. I want to put you in my furs and devour you whole. The thought of four more males waking up and joining the tribe? Of you smiling and laughing with them? Touching them? Plaiting their hair? Taking them to your furs? It makes me crazy.” I rake my hand through my mane in frustration, but it only falls over my horns and gets in my face. “I”

“It is a tradition amongst my people that when one wishes to mate a human, you steal her away to convince her.” I feel exposed, vulnerable at such a confession. I do not want her to laugh or be offended. I do not want her to be angry that I have stolen her away from the others when she would have resonated to one of them. I do not mention that at all.”
― Ruby Dixon, Barbarian's Tease

“I want to take care of her and make sure all her needs are met. I want her to be happy. I want to hear her cries of pleasure and know that she is truly with me in both body and spirit. That when she clings to me, it is not because she has been given something to make her react in such a way. I want her to crave my touch as badly as I crave hers. This is what I want. There are no collars involved, no strange drinks to make her react. There is only that which is freely given.”

“Even though I was born here, I feel I did not have a place until you kissed me.”

I wrap my arms around this sweet, beautiful, strong man. “Then I’m glad I’m here to bring you home.”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t see those girls checking you out.”

“Checking…out? What were they checking?” I frown.

“Your butt, most likely.” She pulls her hand from mine and pats my bottom. “It’s a really nice one.”

I can feel my face grow hot. “Well, I am yours. They can look all they want, but I belong to you.”

“I told you. It’s ‘my little eye.’”

“I’m single, remember? No one to watch my back.”

I would watch it for her. “I will go to the ends of the land if you wish to. Anywhere you want to go, we will go.”

Her smile curves her mouth, and then she gives a soft chuckle. Her sweet, happy, true chuckle that makes my chest ache with want. “What if you resonate?”

“She can wait.”

“But I’m allowed to flirt if I want to. You don’t own me, Taushen. You’re not my father, either.”

“I do not want to be your father,” I snarl, beyond frustration. I am so full of need for her that I ache, and she speaks of her father? “I want to be your mate. The one who gets all your touches, all your caresses. The only one.”

“She rests on the floor in a pile of furs, and as she hums to herself, she unbraids her hair. It is such a simple, achingly beautiful moment that my chest hurts just to watch her.

I want this. I want to be with her, at her side when she prepares for bed. I want to watch her hum as she unwinds her plaits every night.”

“(...) You would be strutting about, waving your cock as if it is the most clever of creatures for spawning a kit in a female, just like those two do.” He waves a hand at Cashol and Zolaya.

I snort. “You did the same when your Mah-dee resonated to you.”

“I did,” he agrees, good-naturedly. “I was so proud of my cock you would think it had dragged on the ground because of its size.”

Rokan just chuckles. “Now there is an image I will have in my nightmares.”
