lightly touched the side of his arm closed over his bicep and he
found everything in him tightening and not in a good way.
“I
will make you feel so good.” She purred some more.
“No
thank you,” Zane growled a little too harshly. Not liking how forward she was.
It felt like she was slighting the queen. “I am a mated male.”
“You
have needs, my lord.” She took a small step towards him and he had to work not
to step back. “The queen is in no position to satisfy those needs. Not right
now.”
He
made a noise of frustration, one she misinterpreted as need.
“I’m
ready for you.” He could scent her arousal. It irritated him. “I know you are
busy, we could be done in minutes.”
“I
said that I wasn’t interested.” He moved away, intent on leaving.
“That
tells me different.” She pointed at the bulge in his pants. The one he sported
since leaving Tanya. A hand job just wasn’t the same as the real thing. Even if
he had watched Tanya find her pleasure while fisting his cock. It might have
been the next best thing to full blown sex but it still wasn’t nearly enough.
He would fucking deal. There would be no female taking his Ysnaar’s place. Not
now and not ever.
“My
dick being hard has nothing to do with you.” He decided to be blunt. “My female
is the cause and my female will ease me.”
She
giggled. “Why are you walking in the opposite direction to her chamber then?”
There was no malice in her voice. She was simply stating the obvious. “Have you
told our queen that you are permitted to take other females while she enters
her final stages of pregnancy?”
Zane
shook his head. “That is none of your business.”
“Oh,
my king.” She tsk’d. “Both you and Brant are too virile to abstain for any
length of time. You are alpha males of the highest order. Vampire royalty. There
is just no way.”
Gritting
his teeth, Zane had to work hard to keep the growl from his voice. “We will not
need to abstain. Our human is strong—”
Again,
the female laughed, cocking her head to the side as she looked up at him. “You
know where to find me when you change your mind. Your sentiment is sweet
but not sustainable.” She shook her head. “I am not an emotional female. I
understand that you love your human. If you need a warm body, I am more than
willing.” She winked at him. “You need to let your human know what the rules
are though, before she finds out from someone else. You would be well within
your rights to take me up on my offer. To take any of the many unmated females
to your bed. This will be the first of many offers, and you know it. Speak with
our queen. If she loves you and puts your needs first, she will understand. I
sincerely hope that she will be respectful of our vampire ways. Respectful of
both you and King Brant, my lord.” She briefly bowed her head before flashing
him a smile which exposed a long, ivory fang. Turning on her heel, the female
left before he could set the record straight.
Zane
cursed under his breath. The thing was, the female was right. It was one of
those ancient, bullshit lores that said that vampire royalty and their elite
could rut with substitute females while their mates were too heavily pregnant
to accommodate them. There were those that evoked the lore, but it was rare for
a male to go against the wishes of their female. Especially during such a
precarious time.
Zane
felt his lips twitch at the thought of how his Ysnaar would react when she
found out about the lore. His little human would have a meltdown. She was the
most possessive female he had ever known. At one time he would’ve thought that
such a trait in a female would irritate him. Yet, the opposite was true. Unless
of course her possessiveness was brought on due to a lack of self-confidence.
Zane
shook his head as he made his way to the front of the castle that led to the main
doors. The best course of action would be to have a discussion with Brant, to make
sure that they
