vehicle.
“It
would be best if we waited. Your”—he swallowed hard—“first time should be in a
bed. It should be special.” Fuck he really sounded like a class-A pussy. The
thought of bedding her left him cold though. Zane had to buy time. Once he
managed to talk to the king in private, he was sure he would understand.
Esral
smiled, flashing him her teeth which all had sharp little points. He had to
suppress the urge to clutch his dick. Thank the Gods his female was human. “It
is customary for our people to mate under the open sky on the earth as nature
intended. I am ready for you.” Esral lifted her robe. Unfortunately, he reacted
instinctually and looked just as she parted her thighs slightly. Even though
she had a pleasant floral scent with earthy undertones, her hairless pussy held
no appeal. He had grown to love Tanya’s strip of fuzz. The way it looked, it’s
silky feel. It seemed that no other female came even close anymore. Esral
must’ve sensed his indifference because she pulled a sleeve of her robe from
her shoulder until a surprisingly full pink tipped breast sprang free. Griffin
let out a choking sound, his eyes glued to the rear view mirror.
Zane
leaned forward and carefully pulled up the silken fabric until she was properly
covered.
Her
eyes filled with tears. “I was told that I am fair. That males would not be
able to resist me. That I would find a mate easily and that he would not be
able to resist if…” A tear tracked down her cheek.
“You
are beautiful.”
“Well
then…” She reached to open her robe.
“Stop.”
Once
again her eyes filled. “It is important that I am accepted and that we mate
soon, or my people will think that I’m defective. If you send me back, I will
be ridiculed. Destined to live a life of solitude.”
Zane
rubbed his eyes and then scrubbed his hand over the stubble on his head. “I am
to be mated to another in a few days.”
She
nodded. “Okay, well then our information was incorrect. It was understood that
you had lost your future mate. We have the wrong king. Then I will mate with
Brant. Please take me to him.”
Zane
shook his head. He needed to put an end to this right now. “Brant and I are to
mate with the same female.”
Her
chest rose and fell at an alarming rate and her eyes filled with horror.
“I
will explain this to your father in private. He will understand.”
“No,”
she sounded shrill. “You can’t take me back.” Her eyes filled with tears. This
time she covered her face with her hands and cried softly.
He
had little experience in dealing with hysterical females. Zane pulled out his
cell phone and dialled Brant.
“Yeah.”
“We
have a little situation,” Zane said.
“Did
they refuse to swear allegiance?”
“No,
they went a little overboard. Katar has given us his daughter.”
“What?
Why?” A low growl.
“As
a mate. He wants to secure the partnership between the species.” A pause.
“You
told him we are to be mated?”
“We
are not mated yet. There is one female and the two of us. Katar would never
have understood.”
“Fuck,”
Brant snarled. “You’re right. If you had refused, he would’ve seen it as an
insult. Get your ass here, we’ll discuss it then.” Brant sighed. “We’re in so
much shit.”
Zane
had to chuckle. “Tanya will not be happy.”
Brant
made a sound of agreement.
“Inform
her before I arrive with the princess. We’ll meet in the dining hall in ten.”
“You
want me to tell Tanya? You were the one that fucked up,” Brant whispered.
“You
would’ve done the same,” he growled.
“Fine.”
Brant ended the call. The princess continued to weep softly.
****
They’d
had a fantastic day together. Brant had taken her back to his tower and had
worshipped her body. First with his mouth and hands and then by making slow,
sweet love to her.
They’d
gone for a picnic on the grounds and had talked for hours. He’d had to take a
call at one point and then everything
