“What does the glowing mean?” I asked him.
“The glow is physical evidence of the frenzy.”
“I don’t think you ever told me what the frenzy is, exactly.”
“I didn’t,” he agreed.
And made no effort to do so.
I huffed at him. “You’reextremelyhelpful.”
“Don’t make me blush,” he drawled.
I bit back a snort.
He wasnotfunny.
I wasnotgoing to laugh at him.
He added, “I’ll explain more to you after your needs are met.”
“It’s really not your job to meet my needs.”
“It really is,mate.”
Sensing I wasn’t going to win that argument, I leaned against the wall with a soft sigh.
I was really, really tired.
And dirty; I was really dirty.
I still itched to take off my clothes, too.
“Serae said you can’t hurt me,” I finally said.
“My magic would drive me to end my own life if I did.”
“Does forcing a woman to have sex with you count as hurting them in Evare?”
His answer was fast, and firm. “Of course.”
A breath escaped me. The smell of something cooking floated through the air, making me fight a groan. “So if I take off some of my clothes, you won’t try anything?”
Ivaylo scoffed. “I have to convince you to mate with me in the next two months, Ezra. Of course I won’ttry anythingthat would make you uncomfortable.”
“You did abduct me,” I pointed out.
“Serae abducted you. I rescued you from the Broken Woods and a hoard of horny male wolves. Now, I’m making you food,” he growled. “Unlike most of the males in the forest, I didn’t force a mate run. Your scent and presence awoke me, and fate gave me no choice but to chase you.”
My eyebrows lifted. “I have no idea what any of that means outside the abduction bit, you know.”
He was silent, making no effort to explain anything.
“I’m never going to mate with you if you don’t tell me what I need to know,” I finally said.
“You’ve made it clear you have no plan to mate with me, regardless of what I do or don’t do,” he countered.
The man had a point.
