It’s just not
done. Our women in general are even more opposed to the idea.”
Brant
frowned. Although the male was right to a degree, none of what he was saying
made any sense. “They wouldn’t be expected to do a damn thing. If they don’t
want to have sex, they don’t have to. It would be strictly up to the human
women and not the other way around. The human females would be in the driver’s
seat. Though I certainly do hope that the interaction will result in matings
and offspring. As that is the whole purpose of the program.” He felt his frown
deepen as the male turned his nose up, his mouth was set in a grimace. “Tell me,
Eugene. You say that humans are monogamous yet you had sex with a female just
this morning. From her scent, I would say that she is much younger than you.”
He sniffed in Eugene’s general direction not caring for the moment that humans
disliked such gestures. “From the scent of the female, she was intimate with
another male hours before you. So you’re not as monogamous as you are making
out to be.”
Eugene’s
mouth dropped open and he made a strangled noise.
“Last
week you had sex twice and I could scent that both females were not your mate.
You seem to fuck random strangers regularly, you are not monogamous. Why does
the thought of this program disgust you?”
“I
do not fuck around.” The male’s eyes were the size of saucers. “I would never
cheat on my wife. You don’t know what you are talking about. I’ll sue you for
defamation…” Eugene began to stand.
“Sit
down,” Brant growled. “I sometimes forget how…private”— Fucking deceptive !—“humans
can be.” His dislike for the male grew. Thing was, he’d came highly recommended
as the best and in this instance, they needed to ensure that their asses were
covered. They didn’t want incidences of any kind. If one of his males so much
as left a scratch on one of the humans, or a female laid charges against them,
it could spell disaster and not just for the program.
“I
apologize.” It was hard for Brant to say the words. “I must have been
mistaken.”
Like
fucking hell . This male fucked a whole bevy of
women. In fact, in all the time he had known Eugene, he had only scented that
he had rutted with his actual mate on him once. What a complete asshole. A
hypocrite in the first fucking order. If he wasn’t so far down the road with
this agency he would fire him on the spot. As it stood, his hands were tied.
The
male in question finally nodded, giving Brant a tight smile. “Apology accepted.
It’s not wise to throw around such statements without facts to back them up.”
Brant
flashed a fang at the male who cringed back in his chair. “I am a vampire, Eugene.”
He had to work to keep his voice even.
Sam
cleared his throat. “If you don’t mind me chiming in…”
Thank
fuck, he was liking this kid more and more. Way to defuse a sticky situation. Brant
nodded.
“All
the focus has been on the women that you plan on bringing into this program,
which is understandable.” He swallowed, licking his lips. “Know that this type
of program is not the norm for human women. You explained that it is standard
within vampire society to have sex with many different partners before a
partnership is established. It’s normal, for example, for a vampire to have sex
with more than one partner on the same day. For your men to share the same
woman and for that woman to be completely onboard. What I’m trying to get at”—he
took a sip of the glass of water on the table in front of him—“despite
anomalies.” He cleared his throat.
Brant
felt his mouth twitch. It was clear the young buck was referring to his boss
who turned a bright shade of red.
“The
fact of the matter is that we are very different, Brant. Women entering this
program need to fully understand your ways, what the rules are and what is
expected of them.”
“They
will be fully briefed and will need to sign these.” Brant touched
