“How was she acting?” Andi asked.
“Well, pretty much the same way I act when Hartford gets his knot into me.” Flow-da giggled and blushed bright green. “Moaning and begging and gasping—clearly not hating it, if you know what I mean. And afterwards she was pretty calm and she didn’t seem angry with her Manimal either. But of course, different people react different ways to being mounted. Some really like it and others hate it. Take Goodie Bo-long for instance.”
“Oh, what about her? Goodie Oo-lah from the Emporium said she was a scientist, looking for a cure for the Manimals,” Andi said eagerly.
Flow-da raised her dark pink eyebrows.
“Is that what she said? Well, I don’t know about that. First of all, women weren’t allowed to be scientists before The Incident—though I suppose her husband might have trained her before he went Manimal. But I can’t think why she would want to cure them when she seems to enjoy having so many Manimals herself. Why, some people say she’s got a whole pack in that big mansion of hers!”
“Really? A pack of Manimals? How in the world does she keep all of them in line?” Andi asked, shoving at Cade’s head, since he was trying to get his face under her skirt again. They had reached her bedroom door some time ago and she knew she ought to get inside and start trying to figure out what to do for the night, but she didn’t want to deal with that yet.
“I don’t know, to be honest—think how sore your nipples would get, trying to give Sweet Drops to all those Manimals all the time!” Flow-da leaned forward. “Though some people say she doesn’t just use her Sweet Drops. I’ve heard it said that she lets any one of them put their heads under her skirt and lick her any time they want—they like the honey too, you know,” she added. “It’s supposed to have even more of a calming effect than the Sweet Drops.”
“It doesn’t seem to have that effect on Cade!” Andi protested, pushing her Protector’s head away again. He was nothing if not persistent! “I mean, he got a little taste of my, um, honey under the table but it seems like it only made him want more!”
“Oh, he probably didn’t get enough to calm him down, that’s all,” Flow-da told her. “That’s the thing about the honey—it has a calming effect but you have to really let your Manimal get in there and lick you a nice, long time for it to work.” She giggled. “Between you and me, sometimes I take off my panties and just let Hartford spend the night between my legs. But only when the Sweet Drops aren’t enough to keep him calm, of course,” she added quickly, as though she thought Andi might judge her.
“Oh, um, okay.” Andi didn’t know what to say about that. Her pussy was still tingling from the way Cade had licked her through her panties and the feeling of his hot tongue slipping into her pussy mouth was fresh in her mind. But she knew what he had done was wrong—it had been very unprofessional of her to allow it, though she hardly knew how she could have stopped it.
“Anyway, you might try that too,” Flow-da advised. “If the Sweet Drops don’t calm him down. Just don’t let Goodie Tight-azz catch you!” she added in a low voice. “She’ll kick you out in a heartbeat if she does!”
“But I can’t let Cade lick me there! That’s even worse than letting him suck my nipples!” Andi protested, even as she shoved her Protector’s head away again.
Flow-da sighed.
“You really need to be careful or you’re going to get knotted. You have to let him lick you somewhere. Manimals have a deep need to taste the females they’re connected to—right now, your Manimal is telling you he’s starving for a taste of you. If you keep denying him, he’s going to go Primal and then there’s nothing you can do but spread your thighs and let him breed you!”
Andi didn’t know what to say to this. Earlier she’d been so sure that Cade would be docile and obedient, but since getting a small taste of her under the table during dinner, he just wouldn’t leave her alone. She was almost afraid to be alone with him that night—not because she feared him “going Primal” as Flow-da said, but because she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist her huge Hybrid Protector any longer and she might do all kinds of inappropriate things with him that would make him hate her when he woke up from the Manimal trance.
After all, Cade had given her a few compliments and said that her eyes were pretty, but he’d never made a move on her—had never asked her out on a date or expressed any other interest in her the whole time they’d been working together. If they had been a couple, this situation would have been so much easier, Andi thought. If they had been dating, she was sure he wouldn’t be upset about the things they did when he wasn’t in his right mind.
