Chapter Eighteen

Lilah couldn’t believe Ferrus was the one to work with her. Maybe he asked to be the go-between. After Zee and Iridia walked away from meeting the red fae, the clan returned to their regular routines.

“Lilah, we need to talk in private, please.”

She nodded. “I agree. Let’s take a walk. I don’t want to be cooped up in a dome of dirt.” With his hand in hers, she led him through the village. “Ferrus, see how men and women work together. They talk and laugh and are quite productive.” They walked quietly for a moment, then he gasped, and the grip on her hand tightened.

He turned his face to her, shielding his eyes with his hand. “The females wear no tops. Only long pants.”

Lilah snorted. “You just noticed that? Seriously?”

He turned her chin toward him. “I have eyes for only one female. I see no one else.”

Her heart jumped into overdrive. No one had ever said anything so romantic to her. Like Iridia said, a mate didn’t look at other women. She continued walking to an opening where they stepped into the forest. Her hand was still in his. He hadn’t pulled away. He did want to be with her. But first, business.

“Ferrus, you understand why we are striking, don’t you?”

“I’m not sure of the word or its purpose. Please explain.”

“Striking is not doing what you are expected to do, and using that as a bargaining device. We are not coming back to cook and clean until the king gives us what we want.” He stared into the distance. She didn’t know if he understood what she said or was pissed because of it. But this was the starting point. Everything else rooted from this.

“Ferrus, it’s important for the king to take the females as equals. As I said earlier, women can do anything men can that doesn’t require a …” Her face heated, realizing what she was about to say and to whom. Sure, she could spout dick to the king, but not the guy she wanted to kiss. Geesh, what was wrong with her?

“I understand.” He chuckled. “Writing in the snow is a brilliant example for the men to comprehend.”

“Not too bright, are they, huh?”

He laughed, pulling her closer as they strolled. “Some are meant to be warriors and nothing else.”

“I believe that. Ferrus, I hate to be blunt, but that’s the way I am. My job requires it. The men need to suck it up.”

“I don’t understand, suck it up.”

“That means you and the men need to learn to control yourselves like adults do. They need to take responsibility for their actions. They are not children who cry when they don’t get their way. They must act like adults, which means they control themselves when around women.”

“In the past, it had been…difficult for the men to fight what the body desires.” His eyes drilled into her while he spoke. It felt like he was talking from personal experience. She swallowed hard, determined to do this for the women.
