her, she is rarely unsure of herself, has been oftentimes awkward. Other times jumpy as a cat. And others, so hesitant in her manner, it is difficult to witness.”
“Why is she these things if she wants my cock?” Saturn asked.
Teddy stared at him.
Faunus answered.
“She is not a bold Firenz female who is raised to understand her desires…and communicate them. She is Dellish, Saturn. And not long ago, she witnessed woman after woman violated before they were put to death. But look about you,” he urged. “In all our time here, have you seen a single man as tall as you, or as built, save me?”
Saturn looked about him, even though it was the middle of the day, and there were not many around to look at.
Teddy still felt certain he’d take Faunus’s point.
“You are handsome, or I would not fuck you,” Faunus went on. “Nyx would not enjoy watching you get fucked. And all the varied males and females you take would not relish the same. But Moira might actually be virgin. And as the act she witnessed has naught to do with the beauty shared in intimacy, she might now be confused about it and in turn terrified of you, at the same time attracted to you, and along with your manner, you are causing her confusion and shaking her assurance.”
“I knew this, this was why, at first, I kept my distance,” Saturn stated. “But she is most affectionate, in her playful way with Teddy, and now also you, but not me.”
“This is because she wants Teddy and my affection, but she wants that and more from you,” Faunus returned.
Saturn slowly sat back in his chair.
“You do know,” Teddy told him, “that if you are just you, loyal and good-natured, amusing and protective, she would have no option but to fall deep for you. She has seen the worst in men, and you are the opposite. But you aren’t giving her that.”
“She approaches,” Faunus muttered.
Teddy stopped talking.
Saturn’s head tipped back to look up at her when she came to stand by their table.
“Shall we go?” she suggested.
“You are most beautiful,” Saturn declared.
Teddy sat stunned.
Moira’s eyes jumped to him.
“You have perfect skin that I want my hands and mouth and tongue on,” Saturn continued. “Everywhere.”
Oh gods.
“Fucking hell,” Faunus whispered.
“And the smell of your hair makes my cock hard,” Saturn carried on.
“Saturn,” Teddy murmured urgently.
Saturn did not heed him.
“And I could listen to the sound of your voice all day. It fills me with pride, as we journey, and you try to learn my tongue from Teddy and Saturn, so you can speak to my people when you arrive in your new home.”
Well, that was better.
For good, or worse, Saturn wasn’t finished.
“In saying this, what I wish you to know is that you do not have to fear me, tata. Not only would I never harm you, I would kill a man a thousand times who tried, and I desire you greatly. You are not only beautiful to look at, you have spirit and fire and affection, and when we make love, I will make you explode for me again and again and again.”
The table was deathly silent when Saturn stopped speaking.
But it was only Saturn who did not seem to have taken in the feel of it.
He stood, scraping back his chair, and Teddy nearly shot out of his seat to stop him when he seized Moira’s hand, twisted their arms up so she was forced to press herself to his side, her head tilted far back to continue to hold his eyes, through all this her lips remained parted.
And he went on.
“We will wait until you are ready to lie with me. Though I would hope, in the waiting, you would allow me to kiss you and touch you and make you climax with my fingers or my mouth so you would be aware of all I will give to you when you finally have my cock. Until then I will teach you your new tongue. And Faunus and Teddy have impressed upon me that it is important to you to know that I very much like goat’s cheese, and I very much look forward to eating it with you tonight.”
After delivering that, he turned his attention to Teddy.
“Now we go deal with your father so we can have that unpleasantness done, eat cheese and on the morrow, journey home.”
And with no further ado, pulling Moira with him, they walked to the door.
