NovelEnglishNo, it wasn’t. The drink Evan was bringingwould keep my stomach settled. They’d planned to start giving it toas soon as they knew. Nu-reeh had interrupted their plans by putting us all in that cave. They would have preferred I was taking it days ago.
My mind was bombarded suddenly with information about nausea and vomiting. Damien and his Brothers were sure this idea would work.
“No new bets, though,” Bane explained stoically. “You sided with Christof. We’re keeping the original wager.”
I grinned at Bane’s sense of right and wrong when it cto betting. You couldn’t change your side just because new information cup. That just wasn’t how it worked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBets were so far off my radar, I’d forgotten the wager we made outside the cabin. Christof and I had said I’d have morning sickness. The other Brothers had said I would not. They’d been working on it since then.
Evan approached the table with a confident swagger. He was sure he’d be on the winning side of this.
“Taste it,” he commanded, handingthe cup, “it should be very palatable for you.”
Grinning up at him I took a sip of the frothy Liquid. It was not objectionable. I felt like I should know the flavor, but I just couldn’t place it.
“It’s the root,” Kein said grinning, “concentrated and made into a drink. We think it will stop the vomiting.”
Bane tore a chunk of meat and Laid it on my plate. Kein handedwhat resembled warm, heavy bread. They encouragedto eat and the Brothers dug in.
The men were ravenously hungry. They’d been kept near starved for days. During our tin the cave they’d kept tight reign on their hunger. Conversation was ignored as they satisfied their stomachs.

Basin and his Brothers cin with Rose after the men had all downed one plate of food. Their bellies were closer to appeased, so they watched as their friends entered and settled at a table. Damien put a fresh helping on both our plates as the internal discussion got strange.
Rose’s head bowed so submissively was ridiculous. Men on this plwere strong and everyone knew that. Damien didn’t see the point in forcing someone to stare at the floor. It was not a threat to anyone if a human female looked around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI remembered how supermodels had looked on Earth. The jaunty swing of their hips as they looked out over the crowds. Their eyes were even done up so it drew attention to them. That was considered beautiful on Earth.
The men sifted through my memories of Earth as we ate. I thought of every female I’d ever seen, from the most beautiful to the most hideous. We Laughed and marveled over all the different ways a human woman could look.
Damien compared Earth females to women here. Something about the women on this plcalled to him. Their feral nature was both dangerous and attractive. He craved contact with them.
“Not in a way I’d want to keep in my home, though,” Kein muttered. Paterian women were exciting, but they weren’t like me. You’d be horrified to see Nu-reeh sleeping on your bed at home. Evan remembered my last pregnancy and all the times they had foundcurled in their colors, fast asleep. Something about that picture made them all feel warm and cozy.
“You love me,” I whispered. They did. My family loved me. Everyone at the table understood what that meant and we all felt the sway.
It wasn’t like hearing someone say ‘I love you’. I felt the depth of their commitment to me. It was like nothing I’d felt before.
My shining eyes met each of theirs across the table. I was overcwith the feelings they had for me. Inadvertently, I started to choke up and tear.
That snapped Evan out of it.
“If you vomit, it isn’t morning sickness and it doesn’t mean we lose,” he warned me.
