Two weeks later…

Cadon wasn’t surprised to see Worth, Andy and Zaire playing those shooting games. Light from the television reflected off of their faces in the otherwise dark room. Several males were patrolling outside. It was Andy against Zaire. They pushed the buttons in quick succession, eyes glued to the screen. Worth looked up and glowered at him. “Unable to sleep?”

“I was sleeping just fine but my female...”

“Your female…lucky you!” Worth spat.

By claw, but this was becoming old. “I’m not apologizing again. I’m not having this conversation again either.” On nights like these, tensions ran high.

“So why are you here then?” he asked. “To gloat?”

“My female couldn’t sleep.” Cadon looked up at the ceiling. The new headboards were a lot less noisy. There was still thudding, just not the ‘break down the wall’ kind. It was still noisy though, especially when two sets of headboards were banging at the same time.

“Now you know how we feel all the time,” Andy muttered, eyes still on the game. “Only we have hard pricks to contend with as well, with no chance of an outlet any time soon.”

Worth’s bad attitude was starting to rub off on the others.

“I’m not the enemy here. You all seem to have forgotten that.” Cadon sighed. “She was in danger. I did what I had to do.”

Worth rolled his eyes. “I could’ve helped her out, or even Andy here.”

“Hey.” Zaire dropped the console on the couch beside him. “Don’t forget me. I’m still willing to help out. I think the human is sexy as anything.”

“Not a fuck.” Cadon had to work to keep his voice down. To keep from snarling. To keep his nails tucked away. To keep from growing a beak and taking out an eye or two. The thought of one of them with their hands on Kerry made his blood boil.

Worth chuckled, the sound held no humor. “You’d better watch your step.” He shook his head.

“I have things fully under control.”

He shook his head. “I’m not so sure.”

“You’re wrong.”

A loud scream tore through the house. There had been quite a few of those tonight already. The sun would be up in two hours. He needed to get that warm milk back up to Kerry so that she could get some sleep.

“Here we go.” Zaire shook his head. The yelling had started up. All four of them looked up. More yelling and then the slamming of a door.

“Human females are hard of hearing,” Andy sighed, picking up the console.

“Why do you say that?” Cadon asked.

“Maximus told me that Magnar is very clear before he brings a female back here.” Andy said. “He makes sure they are fully aware that it is mounting only. He even tells them he’s going to fuck them and make them leave, and yet they always put up a fight and act like he’s done something wrong when it’s time to go.”

There was another slam of a door and footfalls. This was the fourth female Magnar had brought home in as many days. It was the same each time. Loud mounting followed by loud fighting until the female was kicked out.

There was another loud scream, followed by an even louder roar. Kwan had also brought a female home.

“I don’t blame them for being mad,” Cadon said, once the noise died down. “Magnar is a prick! He could at least wait until morning to send the female home.” He shook his head. Magnar had no respect for females. Sure, he was very honest with them. Honest to the point where Cadon couldn’t believe they even accepted his proposition of sex. The male seemed to be so attractive to human females that they ignored the blatant disrespect he exuded. One of them said that he was dark and brooding. Whatever that meant. Asshole was a better word. It only made him realize that he had made the right decision to take Kerry to his furs.

“You’re an asshole!” the female yelled, as they walked down the stairs.

Yup! Cadon’s feelings exactly.

“I can’t believe you!” she shouted as they reached the landing. She was holding her shoes in one hand. Her jacket in the other.

“I fucked you, gave you a good time and now you must leave. That was our deal.” Magnar was still naked. The musky scent of sex hit his nostrils. “Your cab is here. I gave you money for fare.”

“Don’t do me any favors,” she mumbled, shrugging into her jacket.

“I did you plenty of favors and now it is time to go.” Magnar folded his arms.

“It’s polite to make a lady breakfast in the morning.”

“I’m not polite and I don’t see any ladies in this room.”

“You can come to my bed,” Andy offered, eyes all over the female. “I don’t mind that you’re not a lady. I can be very polite.”

Cadon cringed.

“You can have her,” Magnar said, looking bored.

There was a cracking noise as the female slapped Magnar across the face. He chuckled. “Enough with the foreplay. I told you I’m done fucking you.”

“You’re all a bunch of assholes!” she yelled, slamming the front door as she left.

“You could be nicer,” Cadon suggested.

“What’s the point? I discuss terms and conditions before I bring them back here. All they want is my prick.”

“I think you might be wrong there.”

“Well,” he shrugged, “I’m only in it for the snatch.”

Cadon frowned. “I thought you were here to find a mate.”

“My males can find mates, I’ve changed my mind.” He headed up the stairs, taking three at a time.

“I made the right decision.” Cadon rubbed the back of his neck. “I’ll talk to him about the five of you in the morning.”

“Don’t bother,” Worth grumbled. “Magnar has made up his mind. The five of us are stuck for the foreseeable future. Then it’s back to Feral territory.” He didn’t elaborate but Worth was right. They needed to warn Leukos.

“I’m sorry.” Cadon had apologized too many fucking times already, and yet he felt the need to do it again.

“It’s not your fault,” Zaire said, pushing a button on the console to start another game. It wasn’t lost on him that the other two didn’t say anything.
