“Anyways,” Roqs said with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Seems like he has fond memories of the NimSim as well. “No one can say for sure. Even now when we are at peace, no one wants a repeat of what happened. Manasties are frowned upon in Garax and most manasties chose not to stay there for long. Only for trading purposes and not for pleasure.”
“But,” Coone said. “The manasties had mostly given up on females and I observed that they mostly choose male partners.”
Roqs nod his head. “That is true. It’s like we all had given up on females because the most important thing is to recreate using our female’s eggs incubated in the Galactic Council. That is why we are trying to fuck everyone on this planet so we can find our true mate.”
I think my eyes got rounder and bigger upon hearing. Fucking to find your true mate? What the -
Roqs and Coone laughed hard at me. Zirc was also laughing a little at my expense. I stood up suddenly but Zirc pulled me down against him. So now I’m sitting on top of his thighs. His arms around my waist. He wasn’t content with that. His tail brushed up my legs and firmly circled my right thigh.
My back met with rock hard abs. But my ass. Let’s just say he seemed his usual ‘hard’ self. I tried to dismiss it and crossed my arms in front of my chest. I tried to stay focused on Roqs.
He seemed to have recovered from his bouts of giggles. “Ah Brynn. You are always a source of entertainment to me.”
I just harrumphed.
“Well,” he straightened in his seat. “Just so we’re clear on that matter, it is true that we like sex. But we don’t try everyone we meet.”
“Really?” I raised my eyebrow.
“You seem to be an exception though,” he laughed quietly.
I chose to ignore that.
“We are finding our true mates Brynn. We are looking for signs like excessive jealousy, possessiveness, the need to be inside our mate, fucking him, is a force not to be reckoned with. It is said that when a mate is separated from one, each one of them will be irrational and kill to get to his mate. Later, he would be sad that he killed a friend, a relative, a father. But he knew in his heart that he was only saving his mate. Or mates.”
He is looking intently at me now. Like I should read between the lines. I can also feel that he is meaning to send the message to Zirc as well. The symptoms he said, is it what Zirc is feeling for me?
Roqs was looking straight at me as if reading my mind. Then he looked pointedly at Zirc with a raised eyebrow.
Zirc just hissed. Irritated but otherwise not aggressive unlike before. Which reminded me.
“Why were you so angry at me earlier Zirc?” I tried to look up at his face.
I caught him glaring at Roqs. When he looked down at me, he had his blank face on.
Roqs laughed out loud. “Yeah, Zirc. What was that all about?”
I can hear sarcasm in his voice. As if he doesn’t know the answer. But I was looking at Zirc for answers.
Now he had a sort of pained look on his face. At the very least, he doesn’t seem mad at anyone right now.
He waited a beat. Both Coone and Roqs also waiting for an explanation though I’m positive they knew what happened.
“You smelled likehim,” Zirc accused me. He was snarling, showing a bit of his fangs though he tried to hide it.
“Him?” I asked incredulously. “Who?” I asked dumbly.
He refused to answer and had that stubborn look on his handsome face.
“You have to tell me Zirc. How could I know next time?”
He suddenly stood up and let me go. Instantly, I missed the warmth of his body against mine. He strode towards Roqs, putting a few distance between us. “There is no next time,” he said harshly. Like he just handed me the law.
Okay, looks like it’s eating him up. I probably should stop interrogating him. Buthim? Who could it be?
Roqs?
I looked at him and he just raised both eyebrows at me like asking a question,What?
