He stared at his watch before glancing at the kitchen clock with a frown.
“What did you think of my family?” I asked, stabbing a piece of broccoli on my fork.
At least if he was going to feed me greens, he knew how to season them.
“Have I done something recently that's… irritated you?” he asked carefully, ignoring my question.
Hmm. He’s onto you, Bouda murmured.
“Mm. Not that I can think of. Why? Do you have a guilty conscience about something?”
His head swivelled around so fast that it made me suspicious.
“What have you done?” I asked, pointing my fork at him.
You two are absolutely absurd, Bouda said.Actual nutjobs, I believe that is the correct term.
I ignored her. He was up to something, and no one could tell me any differently.
“It’s a surprise,” he said stiffly before slicing into his beef fillet.
I relaxed.
At least he’d stopped looking at the clock.

My babies were often used as a table. They were especially handy as a book rest. I peered over the book to watch Blaidd whip his shorts off. He folded them in half, then again, before placing them on the chair.
“I thought you said you were tired tonight,” he asked with an arched eyebrow.
“I am,” I said, closing my book.
“Not when you're looking at my dick like that,” he muttered, sliding into bed.
“A girl can look, can't she?”
I placed my book on the nightstand and waited for him to switch off the lamp.
“How am I supposed to learn all these strange rules?” he asked, plunging the room into darkness.
“Don’t take my grandmother's words to heart,” I said with a grin.
“She’s a mean old woman,” he murmured, moving closer.
“I’m sure you're traumatised.”
“Maybe you can help me get over my… trauma,” he whispered, his lips moving from my cheek to my neck.
He didn't give me a chance to respond as he began to work my body, leaving me no choice.
It wasn't until much later, and I was nodding off, that I realised he’d never give up his wicked ways.
But I wasn't sure that I wanted him to.

The worst part of being taken wasn’t the physical aspect. I’d always known Bouda was with me, and that Blaidd would come for us.
