.“I told you that we dined too long.You should have let the girl eat with the others.Slighting the girl will cause her undue difficulty here.”“It is only a matter of time before she realizes she doesn’t belong here.Maybe then she will leave.” Modez began to work on the tiny buttons at her throat.He wasn’t sure if loosening her clothing would help her, but Seamus seemed to think it would.As he reached the buttons covering her upper chest, he was surprised to see she wore some kind of material beneath her gown.It appeared to be some sort of shift, but it was fixed too tightly to her body.“Is this what the ladies are wearing beneath their clothes these days?” It must have been longer than he thought since he had last had a woman if he was that unfamiliar with feminine apparel.“I’ve seen no other woman with such undergarments, but Kiera has always had unusual tastes.”“It could be causing the difficulty.I’ll have to remove it, or at least partially remove it.” Unfortunately, he would have to remove part of her gown as well.The oversized gown seemed to swallow her small body and it was a simple manner to shove it to her waist.He stared at the strange undergarment that appeared to be glued to her skin and he wondered at its purpose.He reached for a knife and cut the thick material down the middle till he reached her waist.The cloth parted to reveal pale skin and he couldn’t help but notice the generously rounded mounds of pale flesh rising beneath the torn shift.He resisted the urge to reveal her form more fully, to shove apart the material that was even now threatening to part on its own.Seamus gasped.“Her breasts are the size of a navel orange.Have you ever seen a hybrid with such succulent fruit?”“No, only in human females.” Modez shared a knowing look with Seamus.Both males knew what that signified.Modez felt the anger rise inside him, knowing that Diermont harbored the very thing he professed to despise.A female with human traits.And he knew Diermont lusted after Kiera.The prince was such a hypocrite.“That creature is a mongrel.She has to be.” Seamus whistled between his teeth.“It appears the lady was trying to hide that fact by wearing that tunic to flatten her breasts and hips.I wonder if Diermont suspects the truth.”A mongrel was the product of poor breeding, generally a hybrid whose more recent ancestors were of mixed ancestry, such as human.They were the lowest class of hybrid due to their diluted bloodlines.Modez had called Kiera a mongrel many times as an insult, but in this case it was literally true.And he suspected that Diermont was drawn to her because of her human heritage.“There is too much of the human in her.If it wasn’t for her set of double fangs, she’d be considered human rather than hybrid.”“I had heard rumors to that effect.” Modez had heard there was something special about her sheath, something that drove males wild to possess her.“I dismissed them because Diermont has accepted her as part of the family.He has no love of humans, as you know.”“Diermont cannot see beyond his lust.At some point, he will give in to it and make the girl his mistress, if he has not already done so.”“Just one more reason for the girl to leave.Diermont thinks to indulge in what he has forbidden to others.” The anger threatened to blind Modez and his head pounded.It seemed humans were off-limits to everyone but the prince.“She’s still hybrid and I’m sure she fucks like a hybrid as well.Intercourse with her wouldn’t feel anything like it would with a human female.”“How would you know?” Modez raised his eyebrow.“Have you fucked her?”“Well, no.” Seamus licked his lips and growled.“I would have petitioned for that honor had I known what she hid beneath her gowns.But others have been with her.We would have heard if she was…different.”Modez felt the anger burn once more.He had heard such rumors.There was something unique about Kiera, something odd.He would bet her sheath was more human than hybrid.And Diermont had given her to males during mating tests, knowing she would ruin them for other females.“The prince likes to watch her being taken.The males grow frantic, from what I’ve heard.The biting is vicious.And afterwards, the males pine for her.” He clenched his fists and tried to contain his anger.“Does that not sound like human sheath addiction?”“I always thought the accounts were grossly exaggerated.If what you’re saying is true, then Diermont has to suspect the truth.Why does he arrange mating tests for her? Should she not be banned along with the human females?”“Diermont’s been monitoring the males’ responses to her very closely [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
