“When he fucked you,”Severinsaid bluntly.
Her cheeks went pink at once.
“He didn’t really…Imean, he was onlyhalfwayin me so he just…”Shesighed.“Allright, yes—when he fucked me.Ishould have been more upset andIshouldn’t have…have wanted it so much.”
Severin’s eyebrows shot up.
“How do you mean?”
“I mean…it almost felt like my body was craving it—craving to be filled.Youknow?”Hercheeks got even redder.“God,Ican’t believeI’madmitting this to you.”
“No, it’s a good thing you’re telling me,”Severinsaid quickly.“IthoughtIobserved some, er, participation on your part.ButIdidn’t want to assume anything.”
“I was participating all right,” she said grimly.“Eventhough my mind was saying no, my body was saying yes.I’venever…”Sheshook her head.“Neverfelt anything like it.Itwas likeIwas being pulled in two different directions.”
“I should have tried to get you off him sooner—to get him out of you.”Severinsaid fiercely.
“Stop—don’t blame yourself.Youhad a burned hand and anyway,Idon’t thinkanyonecould have made him stop.Ravik…well, he’s like a force of nature.”Shegave a shaky laugh.
“He never would have done what he did if he was in his right mind,”Severinsaid.“I’mso sorry—if onlyIcould bring him back completely.”
“Well, that’s whyI’mgiving you all these samples, right?”she said lightly.“Don’tworry,Severin,I’mnot upset withRavikor you,I’mjust worried.Mybody…”
She trailed off and he had to prompt her.
“Go on…what about your body?”
“It…Ifeel like it’s changing.Ithought it was just perimenopause because there aresomany crazy symptoms associated with that.Itchyinner ears…dry feet…trouble swallowing—Imean, you name it, perimenopause can cause it.Butthis feelsdifferent.”
“Different how?Whatsymptoms are you experiencing?”Severinasked her.
She hesitated for so long he had to prompt her again.
“Please tell me—how canIhelp you ifIdon’t know what you’re going through?”he asked gently.
“I feel horny, all right?”Herwords were blunt but the deepening blush on her cheeks let him know how embarrassed this statement made her feel.Unfortunately,Severindidn’t know what “horny” meant.
“I’m sorry—you feel how?”he asked, frowning.
“Empty inside.LikeIwant sex—want to be filled.”Sheshook her head.“Idon’t understand it.BeforeRavikdragged me in here,Ihad no sex drive at all—none.AndIhadn’t had one in over a year.Now, suddenly, it feels like my body is craving sex.Imean,Icould jump your bones right now ifIlet myself.”ShegaveSeverina look that made his fangs ache, but also filled him with confusion.
“You want to jump on my bones?”he asked, frowning.
She sighed.
“Didn’t you learn any human idioms on theMotherShip?”
“I was either buried in the lab or out on field missions withRavik,” he admitted.“Ididn’t have much interaction with humans.”
“Well it meansIwant to tear your clothes off and ride you likeIwas ridingRavika little while ago.”
“Youdo?”Hiseyebrows shot up.“Imean?—”
“ButIwon’t,” she said quickly.“Ofcourse,I’mnot going to do anything like that.Anythinglike whatIdid withRavik, either.Infact,Ithink the three of us need to be careful from now on.”
“Yes, definitely.”Severinagreed.
He was still feeling shocked and almost uncomfortably aroused by her confession—that she wanted him—wanted to ride him.He’dgotten guilty pleasure out of watching her withRavik, but the idea of being with the curvyMatureElitehimself made his cock and fangs both throb with desire.
