“For you?” He sneered.
“Yes but more for Emily I think.”
“You and the child. His scent is all over both of you.”
“It would be, he cares for us. Touches us.”
“How did you force him to seed you!?” He suddenly roared out.
What the hell?...
She couldn’t breathe for a moment then slowly stood. Her body ice cold now. Feeling herself shutdown from her feelings at his demand to know how she’d managed to have 4 have sex with her. How she managed to make that happen. She had no idea what he was talking about but the implication was clear.
He thought she’d somehow raped 4 to have a child.
It was disgusting to even contemplate. And saw the male clench his fists.
To hold back more emotion?
And found her voice. “I have never forced any man or Cyborg to sleep with me. A man either wants me or he doesn’t and it starts and ends there. How dare you even suggest such a thing. Is that the kind of person who you see standing here?” He said nothing. She gave him a slow nod. “Okay. Get out. You have overstayed your welcome.”
Standing slowly to match her she could see him struggle, emotion on his face that was soon wiped away.
“You have a child. Legacy. You gave him something so precious to care for and he is not your Mate. Something that should only be possible for a Mate. Something so rare for us that is only possible with a compatible female on a DNA level. And he is not yours, so how is that possible!” He demanded.
Shocked, her angry rising she blew. “How the hell do you know he is not my mate?”
“I know because I am!” He roared out.
He took a step towards her and her door opened 4 coming in. “Betty?”
She stepped back. “How dare you suggest such a thing.” And looked at 4. “Get him out. He insults and mocks us. I don’t want him anywhere near me or Emily.”
“He says what he believes to be true.”
“You heard all that? Of course you did. You know what, I don’t care!” she shouted. “How dare he come in here and make statements he knows nothing about. He doesn’t know us. Doesn’t know what we’ve been through. We don’t know him. He could be anyone for all we know, and he comes here and tells me what I’ve done? Asking how I compromised you! Like I’m that kind of person! And then tells me he's supposed to be my what?”
“Do you think I asked for this? I have a job to do and that’s it!” His voice venting his anger. She stared at him. He looked on edge.
That wasn’t good.
She shook her head. “Leave. If your job was to find them you did it. Job over. They decide their fate and so do I.”
Chapter Four
Confronted by another Cyborg in her room, her denials of him, he couldn’t hold back his emotions, they bled through the blocks. Turning on the Cyborg standing in his way. His own anger blew.
“How did you give her your seed when she is not your Mate although you say she is!” Both the female and 4 stilled. “It takes blood and cum to make her receptive to a mate's seed and she has to be a DNA match. So tell me, how did you do that if it wasn’t forced and then how were you fertile!?”
Both so still, then Betty started to shake. His logic telling him something was wrong. Slumping back down on her chair. Her shock all over her. Part of him wanted to go to her and ease her concerns. He could sense and see her distress.
What did that mean?
What he’d said had hurt her. He hadn’t meant to do that. But he needed to know and had acted poorly. His own emotions riding him.
Had he lost his only chance of legacy?
His reason and logic were warring with each other. He wasn’t here for a female.
