Chapter 6

BALROTH

My hands shook as I directed Eve to tilt her head to the side. She honored me by following my direction and looking at me trustingly. Normally, my heart warmed just being in her presence, and now it was overflowing.

I drew the knife closer, allowing her to see it with wide eyes before I rested it gently against the exposed skin just behind her ear. She was nervous, but I was proud of my female when she held her ground, trusting me not to hurt her. I wished I could have told her that I would never betray that trust, and that I would defend her with my life.

I flinched when the cold metal cut her delicate skin. It was a necessary wound, but one I still hated to inflict on her. I would have taken her pain if I had been able.

It was not uncommon for males to present females they wished to take as mates with gifts or tributes to prove themselves worthy. Even as I pulled the shiny container holding the translator towards me, I knew it was not enough. It was too small. My large hands dwarfed the box, and the metal device was practically invisible when resting on the tip of my finger. It was so small that I had feared losing it; the slightest breath could have blown it away.

I could only hope that Eve would accept this, accept me. I would spend the rest of my life proving myself to her, showering her with gifts and love. She would want for nothing.

I pressed the metal object into the incision I had made on her head. As soon as it came into contact with her blood, it glowed with a blue light. Blood oozed up and around it, and I knew that it would soon be absorbed into her system. In moments, she would understand me.

Eve whimpered, and I pulled her close to me. My tail wrapped around, stroking up and down her back in a soothing caress. She clung to me, panting. And then her body slackened in my grasp.

“Eve!” I gasped her name as my heart skipped a beat and then began to race. I had to remind myself that this was normal. Some younglings, when they were given the device, had passed out. My Eve would be okay.

She did not know how much I adored her, my beautiful little Eve. In so little time, I had become obsessed with her. When she had kissed me before, I had feared for a moment that I had died and woken up in the afterlife.

It took every ounce of willpower to step away from her. The way she pressed her lips against mine. Her sweet taste on my tongue. When I smelled her arousal… I would have willingly traded everything just to know if she tasted as sweet elsewhere. She didn’t know just how close I came to claiming her. If I hadn’t put some distance between us, I still might. But I didn’t know the ways of her people.
