Chapter Ten

Court

The human was a mixture of anxiety andarousal. I disliked that she was anxious but couldn’t deny that her arousalwas intoxicating. I glanced at Bran. His face was a blank mask, but I knew hecould smell her arousal as well as I could. And after what happened thismorning, there was no way he didn’t enjoy her arousal just as I did.

“Eat, human,” Bran suddenly said.

I frowned when I realized the little human wasjust stirring the stew in her bowl rather than eating. She did that a lot.

“You must eat more, human,” I said. “The gallberryjuice will help heal your bruises, but proper nutrition is vital as well.”

“I know,” she said. “Hey, do you, um,think you could try calling me Evelyn or Evie?”

Bran turned a dark green and nodded. “Yes.”

I felt my own rush of embarrassment and noddedin agreement. “Sorry, hum – Evie.”

She smiled at me and my embarrassmentturned to pleasure. Krono, she was pretty. Her pink lips were the same shadeas her pink nipples, and for a moment I allowed myself to imagine her lips redand swollen and wrapped around my cock.

The front of my pants was now too tight, andI berated myself internally. Not only was Bella sitting at the table with us,but wishing that our future queen would suck my dick was a stupid idea.

Still, I couldn’t deny that if I knew forcertain the king would never find out, I would have the soft little human onher knees in front of me. Krono, how beautiful she would look.

“Evie girl, eat.” Bella picked up a pieceof the warracot off her plate and held it out to the human – no, Evie, her namewas Evie. Evie smiled and took it before popping it into her mouth.

“Thank you, Bella.”

Bella grinned at her and ate a few more bitesof food, then slid out of her chair. Before Bran or I could stop her, she wasclimbing into Evie’s lap.

“Why Evie girl no eat?” Bella asked her.

“I’m eating, honey,” Evie said.

“Too hot?” Bella leaned over and blew intoEvelyn’s stew. Evie and I both laughed and even Bran smiled as Bella handedthe spoon to Evie. “Eat, Evie girl.”

Evelyn took a few bites of stew. “It’svery good. Is this, um, grundleswat?”

“No,” I said. “It’s maluken stew.”

“I like it. It kind of tastes like chicken,”Evie said.

“Those are the feathered creatures that layeggs?” Bran said.

“Yes. You don’t have anything like thathere, huh?” she said.

“No,” I said. “We have creatures that layeggs, but they are more like your,” I searched for the word, “lizards.”

“There is talk in the market of bringing insome of these chickens from Earth,” Bran said.

“Market?” Evie asked.

“There is a town not far from us,” I said.“We go there for supplies when the weather is good.”

“Oh. How big is the town?” Evelyn asked.

“About ten thousand Draax,” Bran replied. “Ithas a few different markets and other businesses, a hospital, and a school.”

“I read that you guys have hospitals and doctors,um, they’re called…”
