Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Kissing

Susannah knew she'd gone gray. She could feel the color leave her face. Surely, she'd heard him wrong. His lips were thinner, looked harder than human lips, and a small part of her, the part that had relations with a man not her husband, wondered what they'd feel like against hers. But years of Joseph's teachings had everything inside her recoiling. "No, please."

"You are my breeder. You are supposed to want to kiss me."

It was as if he built this idea of how things should be and just expected her to feel the same. "I don't care what I'm supposed to want, I'm not kissing you."

"You are a very unnatural human woman."

"I'm unnatural?"

The injustice of that was too much to take. He was the one with green and gold skin, a horn on his head, and teeth and claws like an animal. Going around terrifying little dogs and demanding she kiss him.

He stuck out his head. "Kiss me," he said and pulled his lips into a pucker.
