extra hard to admit she needed help with such an intimate problem.
“You are my business—all of you,” V’rex shot back. “You’re my mate, remember? You shoulda told me you needed help, little girl!”
“I’m not your little girl. Or your sweetheart!” Penny flared at him. “And I’m not really your mate!”
“The hell you aren’t.” V’rex’s pale gold eyes flashed dangerously and his voice had dropped to a low growl. “You are my mate—my bride and my wife— and I think it’s time for me to take what’s rightfully mine—right fucking now.”
Grabbing her by the arm, he dragged her out of the breakfast nook, through the kitchen, and out into the living area. Sitting down on the love seat, he pulled Penny down on top of him, forcing her to face him and straddle his hips.
“Now,” he said, planting his hands firmly on her thighs to keep her from getting away. “Pull down your fucking top, little girl. I’m gonna take what’s mine.”

Penny looked at him in stunned silence. Surely he couldn’t be serious! He’d promised he wouldn’t rape her or force her and he was a Kindred. Well, half-Kindred, anyway. But he’d acted like such a gentleman, telling her he would protect her and never hurt her.
Maybe the Spice is getting the better of him, she thought. Maybe it really does affect him like the other males after all…
Then she saw the look in his eyes. Glancing up towards the ceiling, he stared pointedly at the red light—which was on—and then back to her top. Then he mouthed the word, “Pretend.”
Suddenly, Penny understood. He wanted them to pretend they were doing their Mandatory Breeding for the night and he was going to help her with her breasts at the same time.
She supposed it made sense. Better than going through the sexual embarrassment both scenarios were going to entail twice. Rather than have him rub off against her like he had the night before and then suck her breasts later, they might as well get it all over with now.
The realization didn’t make her feel any less embarrassed, though. But since they were in full view of the camera and the light was on, she didn’t see what other choice she had.
With trembling hands, she reached up to untie the top of her toga. The fabric was sticking to her skin because of the leaking nectar and it was painful to pull away from her swollen breasts. Penny winced as she peeled it down, hoping he would be gentle. She had a feeling she’d waited too long to get her breasts drained and now it was going to be agony to get the sticky liquid out.
But V’rex seemed to understand her pain and trepidation. Gently—almost tenderly—he cupped both of her full breasts in his big, warm hands.
“Looks like you have a problem here, sweetheart,” he murmured softly, looking into Penny’s eyes. “Do you need me to help you with this while I breed you and fill you with my seed tonight?”
Penny’s breath seemed to catch in her throat. She knew that after the day she’d had and the pain she was in, she shouldn’t feel turned on by anything. But those soft, sexy words in his deep voice seemed to go straight to her pussy—which was also swollen and needy, though she refused to even think about it—and make her throb with desire.
“Yes,” she finally admitted, daring to look him in the eyes as he cupped her over-full breasts. “Yes, I…I do need help, V’rex. Can…can you help me?”
The admission that she needed help was a hard one—Penny had never liked to ask anyone for any kind of assistance. But in this case, she sensed that the big Hybrid was ready and willing to do what she needed. And besides—she really had no choice.
“All right,” he said, nodding. “Then lift up a little, baby—need to get inside your sweet little pussy so I can fuck you deep while I suck your sweet nipples.”
Penny felt her breath catch in her throat as his dirty words sent a surge of desire right through her. Her instant reaction irritated her—damn the stupid hormones she’d been given that made her want what he was offering! But again, there wasn’t much she could do about them now—not with the red light watching them.
She raised up on her knees at his urging and then bit her lip as V’rex flipped up the bottom of his crimson-red toga. His shaft was standing straight up against his flat belly, long
