ANIMAL ATTRACTION

Medusa's words were not what he expected to be, nor were they particularly comforting but they did calm Deteste and be began to observe the woman he was expected to take. To look into the cold blue of her eyes as they spoke. He only nodded once she had finished her explanations and a long silence fell between them before he spoke again. I will love them. he stated. This wasn't a union he had planned or desired but the children he would love none the less. He wanted this to be understood. And I will appreciate you as their mother. he watched the woman carefully, chosing the words as best he could to explain what he meant. He would never love Medusa. They worked well together and at times they had, had physical chemistry but there was no emotional relationship between them. Now there would be. It was perhaps a form of love but his true loyalty and passion was for Laxago.


There was one more request he needed to list and it would be perhaps the most difficult one for Medusa to abide to. He understood this and so was sacrificing his own... resources in the woman's favor. Lastly... he began. His timbre was firm and his affect was now collected and enduring. I want you to have no others from this point until the end of your pregnancy. At least no other men. If you believe that will be too difficult you may call upon me at any time to aid you... Laxago does not need to know of this agreement. he stated finally. He did not wince as spoke but the fluttering of his heart did not cease. This was not the man he was but it was the best he could do to retain his virtue.


He closed the distance between them, leaving only a couple inches between their bodies as he began to prepare himself, mentally, for what he was expected to do. He could smell her now. Not her heat but her true scent and it's familiarity comforted him. Deteste saw Medusa not as an adulteress but a capable leader and a capable woman. She chose to live her life as she wanted and disregarded any negative judgement. Deteste respected her for this and in this moment he preferred to see her in this light. He wanted to be with the strong, driven woman that Medusa was. Not with the sex-driven vixen that other men might see her as.
