Rakshasa Girlfriend: Aksha (special preview)

I look down the side of the boat and then back to Eddie. “You don’t have a Culuweth accent. I was curious.”

Eddie smirks at me. “You have a lovely tongue yourself, I could listen to you purr for hours.”

I sneer and roll my eyes. “Does that mouth of yours always work overtime?”

He grins and I realize I’ve fallen into a trap. “This is nothing. You should see me between your thighs though.”

I slap at him and he dodges me. “You’re digusting!”

“I know many Rakshasa and all of them are the same. They try to act aloof and cool but all of them love sex more than the next. Forgive me for making assumptions,” he laughs.

“Is that why you were mocking Mero and me?” I snap.

Eddie shrugs his shoulders and chuckles. “A little. I also loved watching your tail fluff up. It was fun for me.”

I scowl at him and turn away. “You’re not funny.”

“Not trying to be funny, itty bitty kitty.” He sighs and looks back out. “Just trying to make my night a little brighter.”

I glance back to see him walking away. I take one last look at the water and sky before heading back to my chambers as well. Mero is still snoring.

In the morning I’m in the galley enjoying my breakfast. I love the early morning clamor, the roar of the seamen as they grumble about their lives, joke around, and discuss what’s happening that day. It reminds me when I was little and sit in my mother’s lap while she gave our orders to her diplomats and the like. My mother loved to argue, she loved to play games and win. 

“Itty bitty kitty, good morning.”

Eddie plops down beside me and I sigh. “I am in no mood for you. Please leave.”

He grins and holds his mug up. “Don’t be like that. Think of me as a way to kick start your morning and get that brain to purring.”

“You best me glad Mero sleeps in.”

“No one is glad for that,” Eddie scoffs. “You can hear your mighty lion’s roar through the whole ship.”

I grimace. “Yeah well...aside from smothering him in his sleep I don’t know what to do.”

“I can still push him overboard if you’d like.” Eddie leans in closer to me. “If you’re willing to pay the price that is.”

I cut my eyes at him. “Oh?” I stiffen my shoulders. “What would that be, praytell?”

Eddie glances around then cups his hand around his mouth and bows towards me. “Let me hear you purr all night. No need to sleep. Just-” I pop him and he rears back. His ears are open wide and she shakes his head a few times. Eddie then breaks into a massive grin. “You already know how I like it.”

My face cracks and I break into a heard laughter. I have to hold my gut I’m laughing so hard. I’m not sure why I find it so funny, in fact I should be offended. But for some reason I can’t stop laughing.
