“What?” he said. He repeated the words. “Grow a pair?”

I had said it in English, which was a human language, and he didn’t know it. I didn’t know English either. My parents hadn’t even spoken it. But phrases, sometimes they were passed down, and they wormed their way into my speech.

“It’s, uh, it’s a human thing. It means… so, I guess like, humans think that bravery is contained in the testicles?”

“What?” He gave me a confused look.

“Well, not literally. Just a figurative thing, like, grow some balls, it means…” I shook my head. “Never mind.”

He furrowed his brow, sitting up. He looked down at his pleasure cock and started to touch it. Then he leaned over the seat and began rummaging through one of his packs. “That would mean that women aren’t brave?”

“I… I guess.”

“Women are so much braver than men, though.” He snorted.

“I mean…”

“They get attacked for sex, and they carry children, and then they give birth, and added to all of that, in both of our species, they’re smaller and have less upper body strength than men, so whenever something scary happens, it’s objectively scarier for women, sotheyare braver and—”

“It’s just a stupid saying.”

He came back with a towel and wiped his pleasure cock clean.

I winced. “Sorry for getting you all…”

“What? No, don’t besorry, it’s just… thescent,it’s kind of…” He tucked himself back into his fur. “You still want to go to the ship?”

“Obviously.”

“And if it happens? If I rape you?”

I shook my head.

“If itisbrutal?”

“Maybe I do want it,” I muttered. “Okay?”

“You want me to force you? To hurt you?”

“Maybe!”

He let out a noise of disbelief.

“You could have stopped just now,” I said.

“I…”

“You could have,” I insisted. “I’m sure of it. If I really need you to stop, you’ll stop.”

“We really don’t know that,” he said. “I’ve never done this before. I’ve neverfeltlike this before. I should insist that I won’t take you anywhere. I should turn the speeder around, no matter what you want.”

“Well, why don’t you?”

“Ishould.” He started the speeder.

“Is that what you’re doing?” I said, sitting up straight. “Where are we going?”

“You are fucking me up, shei. Fucking me upsobad.”
