Page 72 of Her Silent Knight

“There should be no secrets between mates.”

“Sometimes that can’t be helped. She has a family back on the Mortal Plane to protect. Give her time to open up. You’re trying to rush things along. You’ve just got your voice back. Use it. Ask her questions. Ask her what she wants. And don’t get upset if you’re not what she wants.”

“How can I not get upset about that?”

“She’s your world. You’re not hers, yet. Damn man, has it been that long since you’ve dated?”

Kaede took a sip of his moonshine.

“It has, hasn’t it? How long has it been?”

Forever.

“You can tell me. I won’t tell anyone... while I’m sober.”

“None of your business. Tell me what you and Sil came up with.”

“None of your business.”

Childish bastard. Kaede shook his head. “I’ve never dated.”

Rhen nearly choked on his drink. “Say what?”

“You heard me.”

“Ever?”

“Do you know what never means?”

“Damn. But... you have at least been in some pussy before, right?”

Kaede simply stared at him, barely believing they were having this conversation. Rhen leaned back in his seat and grin.

“It seems the mighty alpha has never had pussy before.”

“Careful, Rhen,” Kaede warned.

“No wonder you’re running around looking mad at the world. You’ve got a hard-on and don’t know what to do with it.”

“Rhen, shut the fuck up.”

“You’ve come to the right place.”

“You came over here.”

“That’s what I said. The first thing you need to do is stop thinking with your dick.”

I’m trying. He sipped his shine and pretended to ignore Rhen.

“Then you have to do little things, subtle things, to make her notice you.”

What the hell was he talking about?

“Like walking around with no shirt on. Let her see the goods. But don’t let her touch. Bend over in front of her.”

“I’m pretty sure my ass isn’t going to turn her on.” Not like hers turns me on.

“Women like asses. It’s a scientific fact.”
