âI donât need help with my size.â He sounded rather choked. At least he fell quiet.
Sofia, a smile lurking around her lips, took a moment to study him. It wasnât as if heâd know. His eyes remained bound, and despite his belief she could perform psionic healing, the ravages of his injuries still showed. The scabs were almost ready to fall off. The skin under those that had, pink. He would be free of scars in another week so long as he kept putting on the cream. As for his eyes? Those would depend on the damage to the retinas.
Sheâd hurt herself pretty badly a few times while learning to survive. Luckily the oasis sheâd fallen into possessed mud and herbs with excellent restorative properties. Or was she a latent psionic as he suggested?
Magic his people called it, even as there was nothing magic about it at all. Scientists in the city had measured and documented and written papers about psionic abilities. They had confirmed only Enclave members inherited it.
And sheâd believed it. She stared at her hands. Surely it wasnât possibleâ¦
âShouldnât we be going on the hunt for more soldiers?â he said.
âNot before you give me a sample. Just in case we find some and you donât survive.â
âYour faith in me warms my heart,â was his sarcastic drawl.
âJust being realistic. Once youâve produced some seed, weâll go.â
âHow am I supposed to pass on my, um, donation to you?â he asked in a choked voice.
Was he ill? Perhaps she should wait. She didnât want a defective batch.
âWeâll need a container. Will a cup be large enough, or should I gather the bucket?â She wasnât quite sure how much seed to expect, given Braun never managed to rape her. And a good thing, too, because he would have never impregnated her. Heâd been proud of the fact heâd been sterilized.
He shouldnât have been so smug. It was the Enclaveâs way of ensuring he didnât accidentally procreate. They could be very particular when it came to the mixing of genetics.
Gunner coughed hard as he said, âNo need for a bucket. A cup will be fine.â
Would it still be warm when she got it? Or cold? Should she lie upside down and just pour it in? All she had was whispered stories of how to make it work outside a lab without having to actually copulate.
âI have a cup in the house you can use.â
âUm, youâre not going to watch, are you?â
The suggestion had her sucking in a breath. It sounded shocking, mostly because she wasnât sure what to expect. Did he require aid in expelling his seed?
âDo you need me to watch?â she asked on a high note.
âNo,â he growled.
âGood. Stay here and Iâll get a cup.â
âI am not doing it outside,â he yelled, getting to his feet.
Kitty flowed under his fingers. Sofia could only stare as the man avoided a hole in the ground, lifted his foot over a rock, and weaved to avoid the corner of the house, yet she would swear he couldnât see.
