bored into her as if he could see past the fabric to her skin beneath and his face filled with revulsion. The prince hated humans and would like nothing better than to kill her.
    “Remove the sheet. Her body disgusts me but I must examine her for stains.”
    Cassia felt her face flame, knowing that the stains he spoke of consisted of hybrid seed. She let the sheet drop, knowing that if she did not act quickly enough she could lose the sheet entirely in one of the prince’s notorious fits of rage. She could feel the prince’s eyes raking her flesh and it made her skin crawl.
    Diermont’s eyes lowered to her woman’s mound. He bared his fangs and said, “Spread your thighs.”
    Cassia did as the prince requested. The hybrid leaned close enough to her that she could feel his hot breath on her inner thighs, and between where her vulnerable sex was exposed. He inhaled and she knew he was taking in her most private scents. It made her feel uneasy but she forced her body to remain absolutely still.
    Finally, the prince straightened and took a few steps back. He held her discarded bed sheet in his hands. “You are only alive for breeding purposes, human. Only because Lord Ross may find himself desperate enough to breed you since he cannot seed a proper hybrid woman. I gave him my permission, although I do not approve of the practice.” He fingered the goatee at his chin, a habit he seemed to engage in whenever he mulled matters over in his mind. “The king did decree that hybrid males procreate to replace our fallen warriors. But any young you produce will be inferior and likely worthless. The king will probably order them destroyed once he sees the truth of it.”
    “My blood is powerful enough to compensate for her inferior bloodlines.” Cabrian frowned at the prince. “You will not threaten my unborn young.”
    “I try to understand your position, Lord Ross. You have tried for many years to procreate and your impotence must be a trial for you.”
    “I have the ability to mate, Your Royal Highness. I didn’t have a compatible female until now.”
    “I feel I must remind you that her womb is currently nonfunctional. There is no need to risk contamination.” Diermont placed his hand against Cassia’s softly rounded stomach. “When will you be receptive to seed?”
    “Four years, give or take.” Cassia trembled uncontrollably. The hand that touched her was the same one that had ended the life of most of the people she had known, including her stepbrother and her hateful ex-husband.
    “The evidence of blue rot remains on her skin.” Diermont turned to Cabrian. “It is good that you’ve made her womb toxic to human seed, but I hope you will not be tempted to plug her with cock again.”
    “Sometimes it is advantageous to copulate with humans.”
    “Taking her before the Romans was a nice demonstration of their weakness as a race.” Diermont’s eyes grew warm and fuzzy, and Cassia imagined he reminisced about past atrocities perpetrated on her people. “They wanted so badly to protect her, but they were impotent.”
    “It served as a warning and I hope it will dissuade them from engaging us in future battles,” Cabrian said.
    “What is done is done. There is no further need to risk damage.”
    “I survived unscathed.” Cabrian gestured to his midsection and said, “No damage here.”
    Diermont’s face soured. “The creature is too small to bear a litter. Such a tiny thing with no muscles to speak of,” he said while tracing one soft, feminine arm with his cold fingers. “What she does have is a good deal of fat, especially here,” he said while lifting the heavy weight of one of Cassia’s breasts. “Humans are peculiar creatures. I know she appeals to you, but do not forget that you are an overlord who is expected to follow the rules of decency. I will have no warriors of mine accused of bestiality.”
    Cabrian appeared insulted. “I don’t consider sex with humans a form of
