“Oh.They wanted to sue me for loss of resources because you quit.Their lawyer was told it wouldn’t look good to sue someone who was paralyzed saving a city.”
He was shocked.“What?”
“Oh, yeah.They missed you.”
“So, not only were you immobile, but they were trying to sue you.”
“Yeah, I guess they didn’t want to admit that I had no income to draw from.The capitol didn’t recruit me; they purchased me.You don’t need to pay a slave.”
He froze.“What?”
“Sethir dowry off their daughters.So, the capitol paid my dowry, which meant they could do what they wanted with me.It’s one of the reasons I didn’t have a com.They aren’t strictly necessary, and I had no funds to buy one.”She shrugged.“Ladies in my situation often sell sex.”
He looked at her, and there was a troubled expression on his face.He hugged her tight a moment later.“Don’t.Please don’t.You can have everything I own.You can have this island.Whatever you need.”
“I just need food, clothing, and something to do.Maybe I can take up pearl diving.”
He squeezed her.“We will find something.”
“Can we find clothes?The cum trail is getting cold.”
He leaned back and dipped in to kiss her sweetly.“Yes.We can.Cabree brought your bags last night.”
“Cabree bought almost all of them.”
He sighed.“I didn’t think you were in that situation.”
“Yeah.You said that.You can check the financials and find out the details.They even charged me for the bodysuit.That’s why it was so lightweight.”
He muttered, “Which is why you were so broken.”
“Yeah.Good thing I couldn’t feel it.”
He shuddered and pulled away.“Right.Let’s get you dressed and fed, and we will figure this out.”
She nodded.“Okay.No pointy teeth so far, so that’s good.”
They found her luggage, and she dug through it to get a dress and underwear.
She got dressed, went to the bathroom, and found a brush.She smoothed her hair and tied it in a knot.
He had a wrap and sandals on and held out a pair for her.She slid them on, and he tied the ankle straps and stroked her legs.
“No hair there either.”
He laughed.“Right.I believe my mother has left a meal for us.”
“Oh, yeah?”
He walked her through the house and showed her around.“You have a big house.”
“I do.My father left my mother a very large trust for me.I haven’t needed it yet.I have always found a way to make my way in the world without his help.”
She was looking at him and saw a gleam in his eyes.
“Pria?”
“Yes?”
