Wiping at her eyes, she turned, purposely ignoring the huge naked jerk in her bathroom doorway. She bent, grabbed the sheet up and used it to angrily dry her skin. She bent again to use the sheet to squeeze at her blonde hair so she could get most of the water out.

“Shanna? Why aren’t you speaking to me?”

She straightened and glared right at Berrr. “Here’s an Earth saying for you to learn. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I have nothing to say to a sick, perverted, disgusting asshole. Now move the hell out of my way. I’m going to borrow some of your wife’s clothing and first thing in the morning I’ll be waiting by the front door for Oval to come get me.”

Bright blue eyes glowed with rage. “You chose me so you will not
bound
to Oval, Shanna. You are mine.”

“You’re nobody’s, Berrr. I’m sorry, Hyvin. I won’t call you Berrr ever again.”

Crossing his arms over his chest, he glared at her. “You are angry.”

“You think?” She glared at him. “Wow, score one for the big ape. Now move the hell out of my way.”

He didn’t budge an inch. “What is perverted?”

“You are. You’re a sick, twisted, perverted son of a bitch.”

“I’m not ill and my mother was not an animal so I’m not what you claim.”

“Oh trust me, you are. I can’t believe I let you touch me. That was a huge damn mistake and it will never happen again.”

He glared at her and then his mouth opened as his features went slack. “It was the women.”

She just gaped at him.

“You got upset seeing me with the house helpers.”

“Holy hell.
You are a general?
A Hyvin?
Man, your planet is screwed if you’re supposed to be one of your worlds finest and brightest.”

A snarl tore from his lips, his arms went to his sides and fisted hard enough that his knuckles went white. “You are lucky you are a female or I would make you pay for that great insult. I offered to give you their duties but you told me you didn’t want to take them, that you wanted everything to remain the same. They sleep in my bed with me every night. I offered to sleep in yours with you alone but you told me to go to my bed. Do not get angry with me now if you do not like the choice you made, if seeing me with them has upset you.” He took a deep breath. “You sent me away to them so why are you so angry now? What bad thing do you think I have done to you?”

Words were beyond her for long seconds as everything he said sank in. She took a deep breath, glaring at him. “You know, if you’d told me you slept with them I wouldn’t have let you touch me.” Her voice rose. “I didn’t know their chores you were offering me included touching you! I thought a house helper was someone who cooked your meals, cleaned your house and just worked for you.”

His tight stance instantly relaxed and he slightly paled. His eyes closed for a second and then opened. “I’m sorry, Shanna. I believed you knew what a house helper was and what their duties were to me as their protector.” He took a few breaths. “I will not touch them anymore. That is what I offered you today but I offer it again. If you agree to take over their duties to tend to my personal needs I will no longer need them in my bed.”

Shaking her head, Shanna just stared at him. “Wow. I thought my ex-husband was a conceited dick. You take the cake if you think I want to touch you ever again and think again if you believe I’d let you touch me after this. You can take your offer and shove it up your ass.”

“I am offering you sole access to my body.” He was stunned.

“Lucky
me
but I’ll pass. I want to go live with Oval. He won’t screw around with other women if I bound to him, right?”

A snarl tore from Berrr. “You are mine.”

“No, you have six damn women that are yours. Your bed is way too crowded to add another. I didn’t know when I said I wanted to go home with you that you were a man whore or I would have happily gone with Oval.”

“You will not
bound
with Oval and what is a man whore?”

“It’s a man who touches lots of women, it’s a bad thing, and it makes me disgusted. You can’t stop me from leaving, Hyvin. If not to Oval then give me to another man who doesn’t have house helpers and will only touch me.”

“I’m offering you that.”

“Gee, thanks but no.”

They glared at each other. Berrr finally growled at her. “I won’t let you go.”

“I’m not asking for your permission. If you don’t contact Oval then I’ll find him on my own or someone else, anyone else, but you to live with.”

“Why are you so angry?”

She let her gaze drop to the floor between them.
Why am I so damn angry? I shouldn’t care if he has so many women he doesn’t know who to do.
She was furious though and she had to admit it was because she’d met a guy she thought she’d hit it off with, a guy who she really liked and someone whom she had been falling for.
That man doesn’t really exist.
It hurt and that pissed her off. Pain-induced anger was totally acceptable to her since it beat crying her eyes out that the jerk was a man whore.

She glared at him. “I want to go live with Oval. I made a mistake and I didn’t understand that house helper meant harem girl.” She threw up her arm to stop him when his mouth opened. “Harem girl means one of many women a guy is sleeping with. This place is a circus and I’m out of here.” She dropped her arm. “I’m leaving you, Hyvin. It was a big damn mistake to be with you in the first place.”

Furious glowing eyes burned into hers and a dangerous growl rumbled from his throat. “I will not let you go, Shanna. You are mine.”

Shanna glared back. “You can’t stop me from leaving.”

“I can.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “You belong to me.”

Lifting her chin, Shanna clenched her teeth for a second. “We’ll see.”

Chapter Six

 

Shanna was going to kill Hyvin Berrr, no doubt about it. She jerked on her arm but it didn’t come free from the headboard as she glared at the soft material binding her wrists on each arm and wanted to scream…again. The man was a pig, a jerk, a chauvinist, and damn it, really strong.

Last night he’d refused to leave her room so she’d had to inch around him to get out of the bathroom. He’d followed her across the room to the closet she’d raided for baggy, shapeless dresses, the only thing to be found there. Beggars couldn’t be choosers so she’d grabbed the softest one, shoving it over her head, just to be covered up. She’d turned around and almost smacked right into one naked alien who glared down at her.

“Why are you dressing? It is time for bed and I like to sleep without clothing.”

“Good for you. Why don’t you go do that? You have six women waiting for you.”

Berrr frowned deeply at her. “You are upset with me over the women so I will not sleep with them anymore. They are already settled in for the night in my bed so I will sleep here with you.”

Gaping up at him, she slammed her mouth shut after it fell open. “You’re not sleeping with me ever. In the morning I’m out of here, Hyvin.”

He growled. “You are to call me Berrr.”

“And you are to get the hell away from me, Hyvin. Let your harem call you by your first name.”

“I only allow one house helper to call me Berrr and that is you. You are special to me, Shanna. I didn’t want to leave your bed but you asked me to go to my own.”

“And I’m asking you again. Leave, Hyvin.”

He shook his head back and forth. “The other women make you angry so I will change their duties in the morning. I had no desire to share sex with them. We sleep without clothing on. I had already refused their offer to tongue me.”

“Don’t bother.” She moved around him, going for the bed. The oversized garment she wore was so huge it resembled a muumuu more than a dress. Alluwn, Berrr’s ex-whatever, must be a big woman. “No need to change a thing since I’m not staying.”

“You will stay.” He followed her. “You chose me, Shanna, and I am honored. I understand why my sons are bound to humans. Now that I know you I refuse to let you leave me for another warrior.”

Spinning, she glared up at him. “You refuse? Well, I refuse to stay with you, damn it. You’re a man whore and I don’t do man whores.”

His mouth tensed. “I won’t be touching any woman but you from now on. That’s my offer to you and it is a generous one that you should deeply appreciate, Shanna. I have a high sex demand and I am very limited with you because I can’t mount you. I am still willing to offer this to you because I find immense pleasure touching you and in you touching me.”

She cocked her head, staring up at him, frowning. It was the way he’d said it that didn’t sit well with her, something about it made her inner alarm go off. It clicked.

“You can’t mount your house helpers either so why point that out?”

He blinked, frowning. “I mount them.”

Staring up at him, she tried to figure it out but she was lost. “Maybe we’re getting our wires crossed. Mount means fucking, right? The actual act of you putting…” Her eyes lowered to his cock and then rose to his face.
“Inside a woman, right?
That’s mounting? I thought you said it was.”

He nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. “That is mounting.”

Shock tore through her. “You mount them but you said you couldn’t mount me. I thought you couldn’t actually enter a woman that way because you were already bound to someone.”

“Alluwn’s punishment to me is I can’t release my seed inside a woman I am not bound to so I will never again know the pleasure of spilling my seed into a woman’s body and bringing life forth from her body with more sons or daughters.”

It all sank in. Berrr fucked his house helpers but he hadn’t fucked her and that stung. She spun, walking the rest of the way to the bed. “Leave, Hyvin. Go mount your house helpers and leave me the hell alone.”

“You are angry with me again because I didn’t mount you?” He sounded shocked.

She refused to even look at him as she tore the comforter down and got into bed. “Leave, Hyvin. I’m exhausted and tomorrow will be a big day for me. I’m going to marry Oval or some other alien guy who doesn’t have house helpers.”

A snarl sounded loudly in the room. She ignored him as she settled on the bed under the covers. She’d learned this nifty trick from her ex-husband, how it was near impossible to argue with someone who refused to speak and who just went to bed, him having done that to her plenty of times. Closing her eyes, she took steady, deep breaths and tried to calm down.
Berrr isn’t worth getting this upset about. He can take his six harem women, fuck them until he drops, and I’m leaving tomorrow.

She heard a door open and relief swept through her, knowing he was leaving to go back to his women, but pain struck her too. She’d really been attracted to Berrr but hoped she’d get along with Oval better, regretted not giving Oval a chance. She’d been scared, upset, and she’d clung to Berrr because he had protected her and made her feel safe.

Tears burned behind her eyelids while pain sliced through her as she tried to push it back.
So what if I’d been falling for the guy? Men are assholes, I know that or at least I should by now. I was stupid to let my guard down, stupid to think he was different, stupid to let myself feel so much for him,
she told herself.

The door opened, startling Shanna enough to make her lift her head and look toward her door. Hyvin Berrr stormed naked into the bedroom, slammed the door behind him, and held something in his hands that resembled a few thin material belts. As he stormed right for her bed, Shanna just stared at the furious Zorn.

“I told them to not come in here and to move to another room in the morning so it is done.” He climbed up on the bed. “I know you are angry but you will get past it once you realize that I can be just with you like your human honor demands from a male and I will be that male. I am going to sleep with just you every night.”

“The hell you are.” Shanna sat up. “If you are sleeping in the bed then I’ll sleep on the floor. I refuse to—”

Shanna screamed out in fury as Berrr lunged, grabbing her, and twisted her flat on her back as his leg lifted, coming down on the other side of her hip. He sat on her without putting all of his weight down, only enough to pin her, and seized one of her arms just under the bandage he’d put on her earlier.

“What are you doing? Get the hell off me and let me go!”

Berrr lifted the hand not gripping her, opened his mouth to close over one of the belts and jerked his head back to hold it out of the way. The sound of him growling at her was loud in the room as she continued to struggle.

Shanna tried to buck the big bastard off her when she realized what he was going to do but he had her trapped, his ass on the top of her thighs pinning her legs flat so she couldn’t use them in a fight as he proceeded to tie her wrists to the headboard.

“Let me go, you alien bastard!”

Berrr lowered over her, leaning forward until inches separated their faces. He growled, showing white sharp teeth as he snarled at her.

“I did not mount you because you are small and I am not, Shanna. I can barely get my thumb inside your tight body without feeling you squeezing me so I didn’t want to harm you. In time I am hoping to get you accustomed to a few of my fingers so you can take me without pain and you will take me eventually since I will not let you go. I will know what it is like to be buried deep inside your body, to know what it feels like to mount you, ride you and completely enjoy your body with mine.”

She shook her head, staring up at him shock. “That is never going to happen because I’m leaving, Hyvin.”

His lips twisted into a grimace. “You won’t be leaving me, Shanna. I decree that you are mine and you will remain mine.”

“You can go fuck yourself.”

His eyebrows arched. “You are angry so I will allow you to sleep but tomorrow after I return from my meetings we will start conditioning your body to take mine. The only thing I want to fuck is you, Shanna.” His face lowered more until they were almost nose to nose. “I will make sure you will enjoy it as much as I will.”

He’d moved then, climbing off her body to lie down next to her. Shanna turned her head, jerking on the belts that secured her to the headboard, but she couldn’t break free. Berrr was on his side with his back to her. He shifted, getting comfortable on top of the comforter,
then
stayed put.
