“I have two penises,” Killian, who loved to talk about his private parts, declared proudly. “It's part of my Nathair-Sith nature. One is hidden and only comes out when I want it to. Or you know, when the first is tired.”
“You have a backup dick?” Medea asked in a fascinated tone.
“A backup dick!” Killian hooted. “I love that. I'm stealing it. And yes, I do.”
Medea looked at me.
I shrugged. “What can I say? Danu loves me.”
“Or, if you were more vulva inclined as I am, you could see it as the opposite.”
I snorted. “I am not so inclined.”
“A shame,” Daxon drawled.
“Why is that a shame?” Tiernan asked.
“Because it would be sexy to see her with another woman.”
“Would it though?” Killian asked. “I don't think so. I mean, I can see the appeal, but then she wouldn't be into me and my—”
“Two dicks,” Daxon finished and rolled his eyes. “Yes, we know. And no, I don't want Seren to be a lesbian. It's just sexy to think about.”
“I don't think it's sexy,” Tiernan said.
“You wouldn't.”
“Can we get back to the pigs?” I asked. “What pigs, Killian?”
“The demilitarized zone is occupied by wild boars,” Killian said. “They wander into the surrounding cities in search of food sometimes and have been known to rampage through restaurants and shops.”
“Shut up,” I whispered. “Really? Wild boars running through city streets? North Korea really is a horrible place.”
“It's not just in the North,” Medea said. “They come south too. The demilitarized zone killed off a lot of the predators in the area, and the boars have been left to breed unchecked. Theydamage a lot of crops and attack people. But it's not like they run through the streets every day. I'm sure they prefer to stay away from humans if they can. Humans are too much trouble.”
“We sure are,” Kill drawled as he rocked Miri and then rubbed his nose against hers. “You're just too cute, little girl. Too damn cute. You're going to be lots of trouble.”
Miri laughed. Then blinked. Then chirped. Then cried. It was soft at first, then got louder.
“Ah! Oh, no!” Killian held her out. “She's going off. What do I do? What do I do?”
I rolled my eyes and held out my arms. “I think she's hungry. Give her here.”
Killian handed her to me, and I settled her against my breast, discreetly pulling down my bodice to feed her. I looked up to find all the men watching me with sappy expressions. What is it about a breastfeeding woman that makes daddies go soft? I don't get it. It would weird me out to see my kid sucking on the same body part I liked to suck on. Might even put me off it.
Sever snapped out of it first. “Seren, you can't go wandering boar-infested South Korea, chasing after missing fox-shifters right now. You gave birth this morning. This very morning! At least give our daughter a few months before you abandon her.”
The room went silent. All but the sounds of my daughter feasting.
“Bad move, dude,” Killian, the Breaker of Silences, finally whispered.
“Abandon her?” I started.
Before I could go on, Medea shot to her feet. “Thisis why I don't like men.” She pointed at Sever. “Look here, you feathered asshole.”
“Feathered asshole?” Killian whispered to me with wide eyes. “That sounds uncomfortable.”
“And hard to clean,” I whispered back.
