Chasing Scarlett: A Breeder Romance
“They’re going to rape me! How could you possibly say that?!”
Adeline laughs, leaning forward to hold my shoulders. “You are overthinking this, my lady. During the mating ritual, your desires and theirs cease to exists, and only one thing takes hold. The insatiable urge to merge. You forget who you are. They do too. A secret? You’re not the only one who’s frightened. The males like to act like they have it all under control, but they do not, because the mating ritual is the only time they lose all sense of self completely. They will be just as vulnerable as you. That, is not rape.”
