“Since you two are experts, is there anything I should know about the bedroom with a turoch?”
“Only that it's amazing.”Hope shrugged.“Seriously, one night with Dargo will blow any past experience right out of the water.”
Jokes on her, I had no past experience and that was just one of the reasons I was so nervous about following through with this deal.
“They really are good,” Penny agreed.
“Yay for you two, but how can you be sure my guy isn’t a dud?”
Hope crooked an eyebrow.“The first time you have sex, it completes the mating.They believe that it sets the precedent for the entire mating.If you don’t come until your bones melt, it's a bad omen or something.”
She took a sip from a bottle of water and cleared her throat.
“When Aeko gentled me, I thought I’d died and that was only the first half.”
Well then.Three cheers for turochs.
Feeling a little less panicky, I pushed myself to my feet and sighed.
“Guess I’m getting married then.”I still wasn’t thrilled about it, but I had my friends, we were safe, and I’d just been promised the sexual awakening of a lifetime.Things could be worse.
Penny smiled, “We can start a club.The Real Housewives of the Apocalypse.”
18 Dargo
My mate was still furious.I could feel her glare burning a hole in my hide from across the tent.I took a drink of salvaged alcohol and nearly gagged.The burn of the spirits was overshadowed by the foul mix of flavors.When the others had stripped the downed cruiser for supplies, someirrumhad poured all the alcohol he'd found into the same barrel.
The resulting combination tasted like fuel and rancid fruit.But from the look Taz was giving me, I'd need to numb the pain she was preparing to dish out.I smiled back at her, unwilling to let her see how nervous I was now that she'd reappeared.
In the hour she'd been gone, I'd already dealt with two challenges.The males were young and both too drunk to do much damage, but I knew they wouldn't be the last now that the camp had gotten a good look at my mate.
Taz was beautiful, especially with her dark eyes burning with repressed rage.If I survived her fury, any challenger that came my way would be nothing.
She started my way, clearing a path through the rowdy males without hesitation.I stood my ground, preparing to argue my case.I knew I was on shaky ground with our deal, but I couldn’t think of a tidy way to fix it.She came to stop inches away and looked up at me.
“You’re really going to hold me to this deal?”she demanded.
