sex with another woman otherwise. Isnt that enough for you? I will only touch a female who I am obligated to impregnate.
Mira jerked on one of Flints shirts with shaking hands. It fell to her thighs. Eleven men could call up Flint at any time to ask him to sleep with their wives and two of them already had. He had two biological kids somewhere on Garden. She wouldnt be the mother of his only child if she let him get her pregnant.
It hurt her, and worse, it really pissed her off. She shot him a glare as she put on her pants.
No. Its not enough. Damn you and your screwed-up cyborg world. What kind of sick people are you? Forget what I said. I dont even want to hear it. If you cant make a commitment to me then I wont be making any to you. She spun away to get her boots.
Flint moved fast, grabbing her arm to spin her around to face him, to glare down at her. What does that mean?
It means the first damn time you walk out that door to go f**k someone else I wont be here when you get back.
Flints face darkened. It was no longer such a pretty shade of gray. What? He growled the word.
Ill let you own me, Flint. I wont even flinch when someone calls me nothing but property. I can take all of that because I have feelings for you. I am willing to let you get me pregnant. I was ready to swear up and down on my damn life that Id stay by your side forever. What I wont do is give myself to a man who goes out and betrays me. I consider it a betrayal if you f**k someone else and I dont give a damn about your breeding pact.
Flint looked furious. I wouldnt touch other women out of a desire for more than you. It would be an obligation.
That wouldnt hurt me any damn less. She jerked out of his hold.
I cant believe were fighting over this. A cyborg woman would understand. This wouldnt be an issue.
Then go marry Arrion ! She stormed out of the bedroom. Then you can both screw other people and call it duty or obligation or the law. Take your pick of how you can screw other people and validate it.
Flint caught her in the hallway, spinning her around to face him again. He grabbed her and pinned her body there, making her aware that he was totally naked. His towel had dropped when hed come after her. They glared at each other.
You are threatening to run away from me if I fulfill my obligations? Do you know how unreasonable that is?
What if it was an Earth obligation that I f**k other men? You kidnapped me so you could have a wife who you didnt have to share, right? How would you feel if I nailed other guys and just expected you to deal with it? You want to talk unreasonable to me? Im willingly giving up any chance of ever going home, promising to stay with you until I die, and all I ask for is that were loyal to each other by not sleeping with other people.
Flint glared down at her. What would you have me do?
Swear to me you wont touch other women and mean it.
Im obligated to do exactly that if I get the call.
Then we have nothing more to talk about. When that call comes, you wont be surprised when you come back to an empty bed.
He clenched his teeth. And how do you suppose youd get off Garden? Do you think you could just stroll out the gates and ask the next ship leaving the planet for a ride to Earth? He snorted, releasing her as he stepped back. Im sorry it upsets you but this is the way it is and you will adjust to the idea. I would tell you that it is highly unlikely to happen but that would be a lie. I would be surprised if I didnt get a call in the near future. I know two of them are trying to breed right now and so far they havent had success. While Im on the planet they will contact me if they need my sperm activated. Lucky for them Ill have already taken that step because I fully plan to do that tomorrow so that I can breed you.
She shook her head. No.
