“Like I said, the bite—”
“The bite can manufacture a lot of things, but it can’t manufacture what you’re feeling.” Peaches shifts uncomfortably, looking away from me. “Tilda…the Gulf Pack does things differently, ya know? Their Prime picks as many mates as he wants from the omegas, and when he bites them, they become subservient to him. But that doesn’t make us love him, it doesn’t make us want him. It just makes us…”
“Peaches,” I say, cutting her off gently. “You don’t have to finish. I get it.”
“I’m just tryin’ to say that you don’t have to distrust everything you’re feeling,” she says. “We play by different rules, but we still think and feel like humans. We just…think and feel a little bit more, if that makes any sense.”
We both hear approaching footsteps at the same time, and we look over at the entrance to the chamber. The curtain opens and Suyin steps through, her eyes widening when she sees us.
“I can go,” she blurts out.
“No need,” Peaches says. “We were actually just talkin’ about the bite—figure you might have some input?”
We haven’t really spoken before—not much, since Suyin tends to be pretty quiet—but I have a feeling she might actually be able to help.
Suyin cocks her eyebrow. “So he finally told you?”
“Yeah,” I say. “It was a lot.”
“It always is,” she grumbles. Suyin walks in and sets her towel and change of clothes down, putting her hands on her hips. “What happened?”
“This doesn’t leave this room,” I say.
“I don’t have anyone to tell,” she shrugs.
“Okay…well, we talked. He didn’t really tell me; I guessed. And then we kissed. And then, when I suggested we just do the deed and get it out of our systems, he said he wouldn’t be able to stop until hebredme, which was pretty weird.”
“It’s weird the first time you hear it, but it’s a wolf thing,” Suyin cuts in. “This might be awkward, but have you seen a lycan naked before?”
I snort, my cheeks flushing. “Can’t say I have.”
“Well,” she says. “They’ve got this…it’s kind of hard to describe. Sorry to get clinical, but it’s a bulge at the base of the penis that swells up when they’re aroused, and it serves the purpose of locking the penis into place until the male has come.”
“Way to make it sound sexy, Suyin,” Peaches laughs, then looks back at me. “We call it a knot, since it—” she makes a popping sound with her teeth “—ties you together. Sometimes for alongtime.”
“Like how long?”
“During the full moon, it can last all night,” Peaches says. “But other days, I’m not sure.”
“An hour is the longest I’ve heard it lasting outside of the full moon,” Suyin says.
“Doesn’t sound pleasant,” I say, cringing.
“Actually, it’s…” Suyin blushes bright red. “Sorry. That’s definitelynotclinical.”
“Tell us!” Peaches urges her, patting the ground next to her. “I’m all ears, personally.”
Suyin bites her lip, looking away from us with a shy smile. “Well—I’ve only done it with one person, but it wasgreat. I think they have pheromones that make it easier, and it’s just this perfect—I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say.”
“Is it because this is aboutGrant?” Peaches says, wiggling her eyebrows.
Suyin scowls. “Not sharing anymore. Nope.”
“Wait a second, though,” I say. “I thought they couldn’t have sex without breeding.”
“Well, yeah, their knots make it hard not to ejaculate inside the vagina,” Suyin says, reverting back to her clinical language. “But thereissuch a thing as birth control, and we keep a stock of it and Plan B around for heats.”
I raise my brows. “Um…could you hook me up with some of that?”
