Page 5 of His Human Librarian
And the worst part is I’d already planned for the Librarian who arrived to stay at my ranch. I also set up a shed for use on my property. This means the female who irritates me so much will be under my own roof. Taylor should quit this job and handthe project over to whichever Hyrrokin I employ. Even better, she should leave.
Humans are indeed a rare species but are not completely new to me. I’m used to them already. I have two humans who are my sisters-in-law, and I care about them very much. I understand their charm, but their planet is still primitive. Their species only recently became part of the four sectors. How can a human have the knowledge needed to correctly work this project? What if she accidentally destroys items during this restoration process? She claims that she was educated off planet. It’s still not good enough.
I assumed a Gravian Librarian would arrive and this was partially acceptable because they are well-known as academically minded. The multigod religion started on the Gravian planet. Gravians have the best universities and most of the intergalactic institutions are based on their homeworld. This is because they do not partake in wars, even between themselves. They always remain neutral, which makes their planet extremely safe. And because the widespread multigod religion started there and most species perform pilgrimages there at least once in their lifetime, all other planets protect Gravian as sacred.
Finally, I look back and see her valiantly limping along, far behind me, trying to keep up, still holding her odd human foot coverings in her small hands. This human is fantastically beautiful, with a small waist, wide hips and curvy legs. She wears too much fabric, as many off worlders do, but I can still see the outline of her large breasts under her top.
A growl rumbles in my chest because I believe she understands that she is incredibly beautiful and uses her sexual appeal as a weapon.
All humans are considered attractive to the Hyrrokin. The few I’ve met recently happen to be the bound of my brothers andfriends. But there is something more about this female. My body heats up for her, which has never once happened to me before in the vicinity of a human. She is thick in all the right places. Her ass is flawlessly rounded and the shape of her breasts under her clothes looks neither too big nor small. They would fit perfectly in my claws.
How will she be able to ride a beast out to the mountains where the cave is located? She is too delicate for this mission. Why did they send her?
I exhale, walk back and scoop her up into my arms.
“Oh, you don’t need to do this,” she exclaims. “I’m fine. I’m slow but I can walk. I know I’m too heavy.”
“Too heavy? This is nonsense,” I growl, grab her suitcase, shift her in my arms and continue toward my destination with the female as well as her luggage in my arms.
Her tiny arms go around my neck. “Where are we going?” she asks brightly.
“I’m taking you to the med lab here in town so they can fix you. Then…we will go to the Sandstone ranch.”
“Oh. Will I be able to see the cave today?”
“Maybe.”
“Tomorrow? Will there be more beings going with us from the ranch?”
“No, you and I are the only ones who are going to the cave. The Sheriff isn’t available right now.”
“Oh. Will I meet your wife and children at the ranch? Will your mate want to go with us too?”
“I do not have a bound,” I growl. “And therefore, I have no offspring.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I assumed… I thought I’d read that you were mated. I apologize.”
I sigh because I do not want to answer more questions. I’m secretly planning how I will be rid of her within the hour. I want to fix her injuries and then return her to the transporter disk.
She narrows her eyes. “You know I’m not leaving. You cannot take me to the med lab and then return me to the transporter station and send me back and be rid of us.”
I blink with surprise. Is she reading my mind?
“I’m not reading your mind. It’s a common assumption from other beings we’ve contacted in the past. If you return me, the Head Librarian will send someone else tomorrow and if you return that Librarian, they will send another. You do not get to choose, because we need to standardize the practices.”
“Will they send another human to replace you?”
She tenses in my arms. “No, I’m the only human on the team. They will most likely send a Gravian or a Xylan.”
I grunt, processing this news. Then I kick open the exit door.
The Librarian blinks at the sunshine.
I carry her and her luggage to my utility vehicle, parked on the curb. She looks around eagerly at the tidy streets of Fire Creek because this is her first time on my planet. And for some reason this irritates me again, remembering that Taylor Dumas knows nothing about us, yet is here to take over the restoration of these texts. How can she be in charge when she isn’t Hyrrokin?
“Oh, the weather is glorious. The sky is so big. Look at those flowers.”
Normally I would give her a tour and explain the pleasant climate of our planet, which is often considered a paradise, but I remain silent. I do not want her making herself at home. I would usually be telling a visitor all the information about how my two brothers have adjoining ranches to mine and a hundred other details of our life here in the wildlands. I’ve given these types of tours to VIP visitors countless times and I’m good at it. Thisis why I am the Sandstone brother in charge of the main ranch, because normally I’m an excellent host and communication with strangers comes to me naturally. I enjoy having guests and showing off what generations of Sandstones have created.
