“Torrent turned down a female today.” Sky finally said, her gaze still on the outside view. “Ocean is one of his favorites and he turned her down flat. It is a compliment to you.”

Candy choked out a laugh. “If you say so.” She paused. “What kind of a name is Ocean anyway?”

“I do say so,” Sky said. “Ocean is a perfectly acceptable name for a water she-dragon, just as Sky is a normal name for an air dragon.”

“I didn’t mean anything by it.” Candy quickly added. Shit! Talk about putting her foot in it. She was acting like a bitch. She wasn’t normally like this but then again, she’d never been in a situation like this before. “I think that Sky is a beautiful name. I’m sorry. I just wish I could get out of this room. I’m feeling claustrophobic and it’s making me cranky.”

“That’s fine.” Sky gave her the ghost of a smile. “You are jealous. It is understandable. I would suggest sex but easing your male will also work fine, for the moment. Have him ease you as well.”

“Ease.” She held up her hands. “I’m not even going to ask. Torrent can forget it.”

“That’s a pity because it seems that he doesn’t want any other female. He wants you, his mate.”

Candy had to suppress a sigh. She didn’t want Sky to think that she was relieved because she wasn’t. “Well, he’s going to have to wait a really long time because I’m not interested. I told him I want to go home and I stand by that.”

Sky raised her brows. “Torrent is used to getting plenty of sex.”

Candy made a squeaking noise. Why did Sky insist on talking about this to her? It was too much information. There was a part of her that wanted to interrupt the other woman to tell her just that, but she bit her tongue. If it made Sky feel better, then she would listen. The she-dragon had been nothing but nice to her since she arrived there. She’d gone out of her way to take care of Candy. Bottom line, she was good people. Candy nodded once.

“The lesser males are used to being starved of sex and of operating on lower energy levels. They know no different. Torrent on the other hand will find it increasingly difficult to function at optimum level. It’s going to start becoming obvious.” She paused and licked her lips.

Candy shuffled from one foot to the other.
