Chapter 44: Young forever

Would he want to bite her every time they fornicated? Did she even want to fornicate with him again? The truthful answer to that didn't bear thinking about.

Melisende got up, and she would've reveled in the intimate ache in her body if she didn't want to know, right now, what she had married. A Star Warrior with very long teeth or a demon? Because only a demon could give a woman such intense pleasure and then turn on her. And if he was a demon, why didn't he take her to hell? That was what demons were supposed to do. She didn't like this confusion. She wanted straight logical facts from him.

She pulled on her robe, and went in search of him, praying he had a good explanation for biting her. At the door, she hesitated. A dutiful wife was not supposed to question her husband. She balled her fists. She'd broken with many traditions, and this one she'd gladly break, as well. She bathed, dressed, and went looking for him.
