Drazak

What have I done?

Han’zir is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Why would I even risk throwing it all away, just for a human?

Fuck. Esme isn’t any human, and even I know that. She means so much more than that, to both of us, and that’s what makes this even more fucking shameful.

When the door opens and Han’zir steps in, I want to sink into the earth.

“Hmm,” he says, walking up behind me and dropping one hand on my shoulder. “The two of you seem upset.”

“It’s fine,” I growl. I don’t need him poking around, because then I’ll have to tell him the truth, and who knows what he’ll do then.

“Fine?” He slinks around the table and sits across from me. “Doesn’t seem fine. Little puppy was nearly in tears. What did you do to her at the river?”

It takes a moment to click what he’s said.

“How did you know she was down at the river?” I ask, my voice dropping low. He’s the one who told me to go find her with that mischievous look in his eye. “Han’zir, what did you do?”

His careless shrug makes me want to strangle him. “I’m just trying to help,” he says. “I know you want her. I just made sure you had the chance, that’s all.”

At this statement, all the dread seeps out of me, replaced by outrage. “You set me up?” I demand, getting to my feet. “You wanted me to be with her? To be with... someone else?”

He doesn’t look anywhere near as upset as I am. “I wanted you to be happy, Drazak.”

“I am happy!” I’m practically spitting now with my anger, which is probably not very convincing.

“I know you and she both need it.” Han’zir shakes his head like I’m a fool. “Don’t you?”

“No.” I say it forcefully, almost desperately, because it’s a lie. “I don’t need anyone else but you.”

He sighs, propping his elbow up on the table and leaning into it. There’s a warm affection in his eyes. “That’s one of the things I’ve always liked about you. You’re loyal even when your cock has been hungering for just the opposite. For weeks now.”

I’m taken aback. “How did you know?”

“How could I not know?” Han’zir stands up in front of me and sometimes I forget that he’s taller, tall enough that I have to look up, and he’s using all of that height now. “I understand, Drazak. You need her, or you wouldn’t be getting hard every time she walks by you. You deserve one good thing.”

Ugh, was I that obvious? No. I’m supposed to be angry right now, absolutely furious at his meddling.

“I understand, you know,” he says, running a finger up one of my tusks, “how you feel about her. Because I feel it, too.”

I blanch. “Feel what?”

He leans towards me, his lips almost brushing my ear. “That thirst, like you’re parched and searching for water, and she’s the lake.”

How does he know exactly the way it felt to drink her and finally sate my need? I’m humiliated that he saw through me so easily.
