And when he said that, I felt it permeate my being. I didn’t have to be scared anymore, about anything, ever, when I had Nia’n’an to back me up.
“So, uh, you’re mated now then, and all?” the minotaur asked, looking back and waggling his furry eyebrows.
“Yes,” I said, definitively, at the same time as Nia’n’an said the opposite.
“No.”
The minotaur slowly rotated to face the front of the helicopter again. “Oh, I’m going to get off this line.”
“What do you mean no? You’ve called me that a million times!” I thought back to my limited knowledge of spider vocabulary. “Haven’t you?”
“I have. But there is a physical act that’s required for it to take.”
I gave him a mystified look. “Have we not done enough ‘physical acts’?”
“Not yet.”
And a horrible realization flowed over my body. “Is that why you thought you were leaving me?”
He hesitated before answering. “Yes.”
“Nia’n’an!” I was both horrified and frightened. “Well? Why didn’t you do it already? Did you thinkIwanted you to die?”
“No, my love,” he said, shaking his head gravely. “It was on me. Not you. You are perfect in every way.”
But of course it was easy for him to think that, inside Threadstone, without any of the outside world butting in. “Perfectly horny, maybe,” I muttered, then sobered. “Wait—are you still in danger of dying?”
He waited long enough to respond that I knew what the answer was.
“You motherfucker!” I hissed at him. “We need to do whatever that thing isnow!”
Nia’n’an strongly shook his head. “I am not mating you in public, in the belly of a helicopter.”
“This is not in public! In public is giving the quarterback a blowjob in front of the whole football team!”
“You have quite the imagination, my love.”
I groaned and sank back into the seat he’d webbed for me, across from him, putting my hands over my face. “I do, don’t I?”
“I promise not to look, honestly,” the minotaur chimed in, having stuck around to listen.
“Ellum!” Nia’n’an said sharply.
“I’m just saying, I don’t want you to die either, Nine.”
“I will not be dying—or mated—before Sloane is safe,” Nia’n’an said, cutting off further debate.
I frowned at him, but also knew I wouldn’t be able to change his mind. “Is that why I’m still so ready to jump you all the time?”
“Speaking as someone who is also happily mated, nope, the horniness stays forever,” Ellum piped up again.
Nia’n’an zinged webbing up to the helicopter’s cockpit and pulled the minotaur’s headphones off—and then he turned to me and spoke with intensity.
“Our next mating will take, and when I put my last pair in you again, and lock you to me, the world will know it.”
I knew everything he said was true. I felt it in my soul.
And it was all I could do not to jump on him then—or not to reach between my own legs and dosomething.
