“If that’s the case then you need to be faithful to me,” she blurted. “We need to be faithful to each other. It is important to me,” she added.

Torrent frowned. “I’m not sure what you mean.”

Candy licked her lips. “Sky mentioned that you are within your rights as king to…” She paused. “To have sex with another woman if I am unable to… help you out.” She felt anger rise in her but tried to get a handle on it. “I know that we are different culturally but you need to know that I wouldn’t be able to be with you if you…”

Torrent pulled her into his lap and she yelped as her thighs connected with his. He smiled at her. No, he was grinning. He was enjoying this. “You think this is funny?” She asked, as the anger bubbled up.

“You’re jealous.”

“It’s not a matter of being jealous.” Hell yeah! So what if she was? She wasn’t admitting it to him though, he was only just getting over his arrogance. “In my culture, if two people decide that they are going to be together, especially if marriage is on the table.” She shivered and Torrent banded his arms a little tighter around her. He was so warm and he smelled so good. “If two people are together, they don’t have sex with other people. It’s considered cheating and I can’t have you cheat on me. Not ever. After my dad and—”

“I think it is wonderful that you’re jealous.”

She felt like kicking him in the shin or slapping that cocky, far too good looking, smile off of his face. “You do, do you? How would you like it if I went out and had sex with the first shifter I came across?”

His whole body tensed. Muscles popped out on either side of his neck. He growled, flashing teeth that looked sharp. “I will kill any male that touches you.”

“Now look who’s jealous.” She squeezed his bicep. It didn’t give, not even a millimeter.

The rest of the tension drained from him and he nodded. “Point taken. I don’t plan on taking any of the others to my bed. There is only one female for me, Candy. Only one.”

She gave a nervous giggle. “Oh, who might the lucky lady be?” She teased trying to break some of the tension that crackled between them. It was nuts how quickly it had morphed into sexual energy.
