their heads or backs in a submissive side gesture, hands splayed. They didn’t stand ramrod straight like this, chin raised in open defiance, an elbow tucked near her side sporting a fist, the other stretched out and also fisted. Did she think to topple him again? An odd female to be sure. Her features were filled with outrage. Smug outrage. She should be terrified. She was supposed to be scared shitless of him. She would cower. It was for her own good and it would make Huck feel better. He was a huge warrior after all and she was, well, she was female.
    “Your name, female.”
    “Becky fucking ass kicker.”
    “Interesting and long. I presume Becky is the most believable. You took me by surprise, it won’t happen again. You should be afraid.”
    “Yeah, cupcake. I’ll get right on that.” She tossed her long dark hair back with a raised fist.
    Huck blinked. Cupcake? A sickly sweet treat? Me? Her sneer was derogatory. “Don’t call me cupcake.”
    The female was breathing heavily but Huck scented minimal fear. Him lying on his ass feeling stupid hadn’t been picture perfect. Her fists were now waving in the air in front of her as she did some odd duck dance. The female now assumed she could best him. She would think again. Huck called up his shield.
    “Holy fuck,” Becky screamed and took a step back.
    That’s right human female, be afraid, little ass kicker, I’m a bigger ass kicker.
    “Oh, my God, are you ever ugly.”
    Huh?
    “You’re not just ugly, you’re U-G-L-Y. Butt fuck ugly, nasty bad ugly. Shit ugly. I bet when you were born the doctor slapped your mother.”
    “We don’t have doctors, why would anything hit me? The baby shield wouldn’t have allowed it,” Huck replied confused.
    “I bet your mom said, ‘what a treasure,’ and your dad said, ‘fucking bury it.’”
    Huck growled, that was something he understood, the female was being insulting. Rudeness, to a Tonan warrior? Blatant open insolent remarks would not be tolerated, especially since this was his female. Becky fucking ass kicker would need a new name. He grabbed her by the throat and she squealed in terror when he lifted her effortlessly to her toes.
    “That’s right human female, cower from me, cow-er.”
    “For the love of God, turn me around. I don’t want to be looking at something so ugly when I die, my last image will taint heaven.” Her words were suppressed slightly but understandable.
    “I demand you be afraid of me,” Huck boomed and hefted her higher.
    “Yeah, I’ll get right on that, cupcake.”
    “Don’t call me cupcake,” Huck grouched. For a moment she was completely off her feet and turning color.
    Mustn’t kill a presumed mate, human females are hard to find. His shield had a point.
    The female had her hands together thrusting up under his arms in a manner that made holding her hard. Huck dropped her and she landed in a heap at his feet. She stuck two legs out to wrap around his ankles and jerked, then groaned. Huck dropped his shield and squatted on the balls of his feet. He scratched his head in confusion.
    “I’ve seen dogs do this to humans. Is it some ritual of submission?”
    “I’m not humping you, ass hat. You should be on your butt right now. Damn, you’re heavy,” she said and groaned.
    “We will mate now. Remove your clothes. Prepare yourself, I’m huge.” Huck said.
    “Go fuck yourself.”
    “I can’t mate me.” Huck blinked. “My luck, I get a stupid female. You’re lucky, you’re cute and I’m out of time or I’d find another.”
    “With your charm, I’m certain women will be falling all over you. All but me.”
    Becky kicked at his shin, groaned as she made contact, and jumped to her feet and fled for the room deemed captive quarters, her one foot now limped. Huck stood and followed. Perhaps he shouldn’t have mentioned he was huge, a slight oversight on his part, she’d find out soon enough. She was paused at a wall, her breath was frantic. When she turned he
