When she finally calmed down enough to rub the tears from her face, she kissed me. “Oh you sweet soul. I wasn’t sad about last night. I was sad that this ended. You were a great boyfriend.”
A roar of triumph rose within me. “It doesn’t have to end. Hold on.”
I placed Plum back in her seat, buckled her in, then tore out of the parking lot and headed for my house. Within a minute, I pulled into my driveway.
The primal beat of lust and the desire to claim my mate pounded like war drums with my chest. Even as Plum remarked upon the cute landscaping of my property, I carried her out of her seat. I leapt up my porch stairs and somehow managed to unlock and open my door.
Once over the threshold, the urgency to bind himself to his chosen mate pulsed even louder within him. The urge to throw his head back and bellow a battle cry seized him, and he was barely able to rein himself in so as not to scare Plum, who happened to be talking.
“...I can understand how you must feel, that was more than you bargained for and–”
“What was?”
“Being with me…that extra night…stuff…my parents…”
“I had a great time. It is I who should be thanking you. It has been a long time being apart from my family.”
“And I kept you from them,” she said. Her eyes grew large. They were luminous in this light, with flecks of gold and gray in them.
“No, my family is beyond the rift. It takes a long time to be connected with them. They are proud that I am here. They will be more proud when they meet you.”
“Why?”
“Because I have claimed you as mine and so would like to welcome my future mate.”
“Your future what?” Those eyes…that face that broadcasts her thoughts so clearly. “Oh no. Kro that would be…I mean I thought you knew…”
“We had a contract. And now that is over. This is now us. Hands up, please.”
She automatically did as she was told. Her bulky sweater came off.
“But wait–”
I waited.
“If you know you don’t have to be with me, then why are you?”
Dean, that bastard, was right. Human females do not value themselves, and so will need to be taught for their own good. He suggested a lot of praise and orgasms, and I do not disagree.
I lifted Plum up and placed her onto the stairs so we were eye level. Equals in standing. And perhaps at this height she can hear my words and not have them go over her head as I often heard humans say.
“I have heard that some words are lost in translation and so I shall speak mine plainly. I am with you right now because I want you. I want to be with you. I am yours. And you are mine.”
Her forehead crinkled in that cute way it does and it took all my control not to take her right here. “Why?”
I searched her face, and knew that there was not artifice there. No lie. She truly did not know her value or worth. Fine. I tried to do this the human way. Time for Plan B. The Orc way.
Orgasms.
I tossed her over my shoulder and took her below to the den I’d been preparing for a time such as this. Suitable for a mate to make her own.
If she hated it, I would re-make it. For now, the nest was large and should be roomy enough for us.
I tossed her in the middle where she landed on a soft pile of pillows. Her cries of surprise were muffled as she sank within. I peeled off my clothes, found her legs and pulled her out. Her cheeks were flushed a pretty shade of pink, her eyes large and shiny.
“That’s a lot of pillows. And this bed is gigantic.”
I grinned. “All the better to fuck you in. Now lay back.”
