“Nix,” he growled.“Because those were things I needed to tell you in my own time.She should not have opened her mouth.”
“And when exactly were you going to tell me?” she demanded, her voice rising in volume.“Before or after you had already gotten me pregnant?”
Vaxa’an stilled.
“Well?” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.“It’s true, isn’t it?You were hoping to knock me up, weren’t you?”
Knock her up?He was unfamiliar with the expression, but he understood her meaning regardless.And yes, that had beenexactlywhat he had hoped.
He backed her against the terrace balcony, the image of her pregnant a wicked tease in his mind.Her generous breasts brushed his taut abdomen and she was glaring up at him with a stubbornness that lit his blood on fire.
“The Fates have blessed me with a very fine mate,” he purred, sliding his hands to her waist and then upwards to cup the sides of her breasts.She batted his hands away but he stole a kiss while she was distracted.
“Mppff,” she made a sound and then pushed him back.“No, I told you I want to talk.We arenotkissing.”
“Yet,” he corrected.“Come, female, you are obviously irritated with me.Let me soothe your anger in the bathing pool.I will be creative.”
“Vaxa,” she stressed, giving him a stern look, even though he scented her faint arousal.
He huffed out a sharp breath of air through his nostrils.His mate was as stubborn as he was so he may as well just tell her.
“Yes,” he said, gazing down at her, his voice nothing more than a raspy purr.“I want to see you heavy with our offspring.I want to plant my seed deep inside you, over and over again, right here,” he placed a hand over her belly, “until there is no question about whether or not you carry my heir.” Her lips parted and her breath hitched.He growled, “I want to fuck you until you remember nothing else that came before us.I want to always feel your sweet cunt wrapped around my cock, wringing my seed from me.I want to give you so much pleasure that all of Luxiria will be able to hear your screams.”Hervaxixwas wet, he could scent it.“That is the truth.Now,come,female.I have had a difficult span and I wish to bathe with you.”
He lifted her into his arms and walked into the dwelling.Bidan had already departed for his own home so it was just the two of them.
“Bee-don called you strong-willed,” Kat said, her voice husky.“He was right.”
“You already knew this,” he replied simply, crossing their quarters before settling her down onto the smooth floor next to the bathing pool.It was warm and steamy.The bathing pool drew its water from deep inside thefacev.It was like a hot spring.
Vaxa’an wasted no time disrobing her.He drew off the golden clasps of her coverings at her shoulders and loosened the belt across her waist.The material slid to the floor, leaving her nude, her nipples beaded into taut peaks.His mouth watered.He wanted to suck those tips between his lips until her back arched.
He gazed at his female as he undressed, his chest rumbling in contentment, and he found it difficult to peel off his leg coverings given the state of his thickened cock.There was still fire in her eyes, but the lines between her brows had softened.
“Keriva is very nice,” Kat started, her tone innocent, and Vaxa’an immediately narrowed his eyes.“Have you known her for long?”
“Tev,” he said, reaching out to grab her, hoisting her up so her legs wrapped around his waist.He groaned, sensing her heat, but walked into the bathing pool.He hissed in pleasure when he felt the warm water relax the muscles in his body.It had been tense at the council.He’d needed this.
“Oh?” Kat asked.“She’s very beautiful.”
Vaxa’an realized what she was doing and he grinned.“Tev, she is.”
Her lips pressed together but then she smiled, his maddening female.“Why didn’t you pick her as your…mate?”
“I am already your male,” he purred.“There is no need to feel territorial,luxiva.”
She puffed up, a flush spreading to her cheeks.“I amnotbeing territorial.”
“Then why do you care about how long I have known Keriva?”
“Because—because I was curious!”
“Mmm.”He relaxed against the edge of the bath, his eyelids lowering as he gazed at Kat.
“Just…” she trailed off, growing frustrated.“Did you ever have feelings for her?”
“I thought you were not—”
“Just answer the question, Vaxa,” she said, looking miserable and disgruntled, as if she was at war with her feelings, as if she didn’t know why she was asking such ridiculous things.
