“No, but I would eventually have come to this point on my own. I want you very badly. Reapers do not marry, so a mistress is as close as I could get to a solid relationship. I have a place on Daycross and that is where I would offer you a home. My friends also have places on Daycross, and it is likely that the ladies of your little cabal will end up there as well.”
“Mistress seems so tacky.”
“It means no one will be watching you for children if that makes a difference.” He stroked her cheek.
“What happens if they show up?”
“If they are alphas, they go into training and reaper training afterward.”
“And if they would be girls?”
He chuckled. “They are never girls.”
“Right.” She rubbed her forehead. “Shit. This is a complicated day. I don’t even know you.”
He shrugged. “That comes with time. For now, we have an attraction, and I would enjoy being there to watch you explore it.”
“What happens when you tire of me and look for another mistress?”
“In the unlikely event of that occurrence, you would be paid off and given a home in a safe country, like Daycross, and be provided with enough income to last your lifetime.”
She looked at him seriously. “Would you cheat on me? Hurt me? Verbally abuse me?”
He blinked, astonished. “No.”
“Would you put that in writing, and would the council enforce the contract?”
He cocked his head. “Yes, to both.”
His grandfather nodded and raised his voice. “Absolutely. We can have a contract drawn up in an hour.”
She looked at Denier and cocked her head. “Would you have to kill me if I said no? Even if my original contract was issued under unethical circumstances?”
She turned her head to glare at the reapers.
They had the grace to look abashed.
Denier stood straight. “I want you, Brit. I will be there every day until you go into heat, and when you are, your body will take the choice from you. You are to be my omega, and I will be your alpha, and there is no other option for either of us.”
She looked at his grim expression, and she took his hand. “I know that, you dunce. My niece told me already.”
He blinked. “She did?”
“She did.”
“Why the contract?”
“My birth mother flitted from man to man, trying to fuck her way to security or better drugs. My chosen mother taught me that my worth doesn’t lie between my legs, but that location can be entertaining.” She smiled. “She’s a lawyer, and she also taught all of us to get it in writing. The other two have it from the BDC, but since I don’t have the option of a companion contract through them, I have to get one through them.” She jerked her thumb at the astonished council. “Does that explain things?”
He frowned, his forehead furrowed. “So, you want me?”
She smiled. “Yes.”
He looked at his grandfather. “How long for that contract?”
Brit laughed, high and bright. He smiled and pulled her into his arms.
“Once you are used to me, you are not going to sleep for days.”
