That had to be why he hadn’t said anything. She couldn’t believe that he was the type of male to get her pregnant knowing he was going to send her away. The thought made her stomach ache.
Mary reached over and patted her hand.
“Are you sure nothing’s wrong?”
“I’m positive.” She managed a shaky smile. “It’s just been a lot of change in a short period of time.”
“Believe me, I understand. What’s your husband like?”
“Big and strong and caring. He makes me feel safe. And he has golden scales and blue eyes and a tail.”
Her lips curved more genuinely at the thought and Mary grinned at her.
“Aren’t tails amazing? I never knew one could feel so good, in so many places.”
Fiery heat flooded her cheeks as she thought of all the places Celenk could put his tail and her nipples tingled, but she did her best to keep her voice normal.
“I guess that means Borgaz has a tail?”
“And how.”
“What’s he like?”
“Bossy.” Mary rolled her eyes. “But also sweet and protective and thoughtful. He has red skin and horns and kind of looks like a devil. My own personal devil.”
Mary’s smile slowly faded as she studied Lottie’s face.
“Borgaz… struggles with the aftereffects of the war. I think they all do in their own way. Does your husband struggle too?”
She nodded, remembering the storm. And although that had been the most obvious sign, it wasn’t the only one. His discipline, the way he’d locked himself off from all emotion, even his insistence that he couldn’t give her the life she deserved - she suspected all of that was at least partially driven by the war.
“Our love - it helps them,” Mary said quietly. “To know that they’re wanted, that they’re not alone.”
The way she’d been with him during the storm when the memories washed over him. She nodded again, and then Mary’s face lightened.
“And of course the amazing sex doesn’t hurt.”
She blushed and laughed, and then they talked some more about their time in the city before she showed Mary around the house, looking more decrepit in the morning light. Mary assured her that her own house had been just as bad, gave her a few suggestions, then left, promising to visit again soon.
She’d put away the cookies - to Raja’s dismay - then decided to tackle the bedroom, starting with the peeling wallpaper. It was a long, tedious process, but she was happy with what she’d achieved when she finally gave up and went to start dinner.
Thinking of that conversation now, she took a deep breath. Celenk was pretending to wash her ass but he was really caressing it, massaging soap into the generous flesh for at least the fifth time. Ignoring how good it felt, she tugged lightly on his tail to get his attention.
“Celenk?”
“Yes, my flower?”
He ran a thick soapy finger down between her butt cheeks and she squeaked, surprised that it was so sensitive.
“I can’t concentrate when you’re doing that.”
“Doing what?” he asked innocently as his finger circled the tiny hole, awakening nerves she didn’t know existed.
“That! Please, I need to ask you something.”
He stopped at once, focusing on her face.
“Is something wrong?”
