Jasmin part 18

ALDREK

I fly around, my thoughts stuck on Jasmin. She wants the best for me, but I have no interest in meeting new fathers of fire.

I have no need for “friends.” My life is enough with Jasmin and my woodworking habit. Any free time is dedicated to hunting and upkeeping my cabin.

But I suppose that things are changing. I’m building an estate and hiring servants to offer Jasmin more space and comforts. In the meantime, I suppose I will have to take her advice and go to the matchmaking grounds. I doubt I will befriend any male. Most are disturbed by my ability, and the others want to fight me for bragging rights. Not that they ever beat me.

I stop in town to meet the ringmaster, who is still upset that I’m dropping the fights, but knows better than to step up to me.

“Aldrek, are you to get in the cage and make some money again?”

“I told you I’m done,” I reply, my wings flicking in irritation. Jasmin would be upset if I continued fighting, so I cannot continue.

“I need you to collect twenty young fathers of fires. Have them build an estate where my cabin had been, and I’ll pay them.”

“What’s in it for me?”

“I’ll pay you, too, old man.”

As greedy and bothersome as he is, he is known for being a good businessman and has never tried to steal a coin from me. He will get the construction done.

“Hmm… how much?”

“Depends on how well you build it, but you know money is not a problem for me. I will sketch a plan for the infrastructure, and I will mail it to you a week from now.”

He nods. “I’ll get it done. And if you ever want to get back in the cage, let me know.”

“I’m done with the cage.”

I will have to find another way to soothe my anger. Bloodthirst is not the solution.

“You’re a money maker, Aldrek. You could become the richest male alive if you fight for a few more years.”

I already am, because I have Jasmin.

I flap my wings and fly over my territory. The cabin is still destroyed but other than that, the land is undisturbed.

I return to Jasmin and find her clothed on the bed. It’s hard to hide my disappointment.

“After thinking about your proposition, I have an answer for you.”

She lowers the comb she had been using and stares at me with those big brown eyes that I would burn the world for if she asked me to.

“I will take you. We will go see Cuero and I will take the ridiculous classes.”

She smiles, but then her shoulders sag.

“I’m glad to hear that, but there is something I forgot to mention.”

“What?”

“Before you, I had a match. The program found us to be compatible so I spent some time with him, but he rejected me. That’s why I returned to Earth.”

What an imbecile. He would reject Jasmin, who is the most eligible female in the program? I do not even need to see the other females to know they cannot hold a candle to her. Although she lied to me, I am still here, because I am weak against her pull.

“My point is that he might still be at the program. He might still be looking for a match and find me.”

“Jasmin. I’m going to say this only once.” I sit on the edge of the bed. “If he looks at you, if he says anything to you, I will put him on the ground. If he’s lucky, I won’t also put him in it.”

“Aldrek,” she gasps. “There’s no need for violence.”

“Do you want to be approached by him?”

My fists clench just at the thought of it.

“No. We have nothing to speak about.”

“Good. He lost his chance at treasure, and I won’t let the greedy bastard disrespect me.”

I thought I knew what hatred felt like, but this male that I have yet to meet, makes my inner fire want to burst from every pore.

He hurt Jasmin, and I’ll rip my wings off before I let him do it again.

She takes my hand. “I’ll just walk away. Please don’t be violent. There has been enough already.”

“I can’t control myself when it comes to you. My temperament is not like other fathers of fire. If you don’t want to take the risk of running into him, it’s best if we don’t go. So now it is your turn to choose. Do you want to go to the matching program grounds, or not?”

Her eyes flicker, like she’s thinking a hundred things a minute. I don’t want to distress her, but it’s best if I make my intentions clear now. Communication is already not our strong suit.

“We… we will go. He is likely not there.”

Part of me hopes that he is, and that he looks in her direction so I can give him matching black eyes. I don’t know what his stature is like, but it doesn't matter. I will destroy him.

Jasmin is mine. No matching program will dictate who gets her.

“We will leave tomorrow, then.”

“So soon?” She bites her lip.

Damn it all. I’m going to have to beat my cock tonight. I am trying my best to take things slow with her, but my appetite is growing like fire. I don’t think I’ll last another week without asking her to let me taste her cunt.

“Yes. I already arranged for construction to begin at my territory.”

“Oh…”

“I will take any suggestions you have. What rooms do you want built?”

The question startles her.

“I don’t know…”

“Do you wish for a hobby room? A library? How many nurseries?”

Her eyes widen, and she turns the color of heated metal. “Nurseries?”

My hand finds her abdomen. “Yes.”

She looks stunned, and I am confused. By accepting her when she came back, I agreed to have a future with her. There will be no other female for me.

“Just… just one is fine,” she mumbles and looks away.

“Is the thought of me breeding you embarrassing, Jasmin?”

She shrinks, and I smile in adoration.

I never imagined fatherhood. The idea of passing this curse on haunts me, but there must be a way to end the curse. I will figure it out for us.

“We should take things slow,” she whispers.

Of course. I have no plans of impregnating her tonight, although my balls disagree.

I slip my hand down to her hip, and grip her tightly.

“How about I paint your walls white with my seed next week? Is that enough time for you?”

“Oh my gosh.” She covers her face, and I can’t help my laughter.

I move behind her and rest my back against the wall. In a swift move, I reach down to wrap my arms around her and drag her between my legs. I keep her there, in my safe embrace.

She turns her head to nuzzle it into my neck, and my heart shrinks. Only she has this effect on me.
