Page 14 of Game on Askole

Voss and Tihar stared at me in utter disbelief.

“What was that?”Voss’s mouth twitched as if he was struggling not to laugh.

Putting on my best poker face, I replied,“My battle cry. Why?”

“The purpose of a war cry is to frighten your enemies. Not reduce them to laughter,”Voss answered.

“I’m a fighter pilot. I seldom engaged in hand-to-hand combat.”

“As my mate, you will need a proper war cry,”Tihar announced.

“Thanks, but I’ve got one. Now prepare to get your ass kicked. Mwah-hah-hah.”

Tihar’s tentacles curled tightly.“It is foolish to think you can beat me, lady warrior. Surrender now.”

My temper flared to life. “Surrender? Not in this lifetime.”

“Think hard before you challenge me.”Tihar touched his gauntlet, and his armor simply shrank away.“Do you think you can subdue me?”He stood perfectly still, allowing me to inspect him.

Not a chance in hell, which was why I planned on cheating. A sigh escaped me. Tihar’s torso was sculpted perfection. Thick muscles corded his arms and legs. Who knew black scales could be sexy?

Another tap, and Tihar was completely nude.“Can you refuse this?”

My eyes bugged as I stared at Tihar’s super-duper hard-on. Holy cow! Askole had humanlike penises, humongous balls, and no pubic hair. Huh? Would you look at that? Even his man parts had scales. I linked with Sarah.“Get a load of this.”

“Kinda busy. Talk later.”

“Okay, but Tihar is hung like a bull elephant.”

Voss threw his hands up in disgust.“Quit staring at his body. You are only encouraging him, Sarah.”

“He is an eyeful.”

“I am also a master of the thousand delights,”Tihar proclaimed.

Voss crossed his arms and declared,“The only way to become a master is to have had sex with a thousand females.”

“You’re a man-whore?”Had to admit I was a bit disappointed.

“No, a teacher. I have taught many females in the pleasure houses these techniques.”Tihar held out his hand.“Surrender, and I will begin your lessons.”

“How about I teach you a little-known fact?”

Tihar’s tentacles flared warily.“What would that be?”

“Never underestimate a Jones.”Reaching out with my mind, I mentally grasped Tihar’s balls and twisted them viciously.“We might be small, but we make up for it in pure meanness.”

The Askole let out a wheezing gasp and dropped to his knees.“She is a cunning and ferocious female.”

“Without a doubt,”Voss agreed.“Know this. All females of Kaylee Jones’s lineage have been pledged to Coletti warriors. Taking Sarah will violate the treaty your father signed with the Overlord. Do you wish to start a war?”

“Sarah is mine.”Tihar’s voice was a still a bit raspy.

I tightened my grip.“I belong to no one. If—or when—I decide to mate with a male, it will be my choice. I won’t be forced.”

“There are many benefits to being my mate. I am the commander of my father’s western battle fleet. I have never been defeated. My holdings are vast, and you will be one of the wealthiest females in the Askole Empire. Plus, I have much experience in bed sports,”Tihar informed me.

Like that made it all better? Okay, maybe a little. I released Tihar’s balls.“Stay away from me, or next time I will unman you.”
