she considered. Finally, she sighed and turned away
from Balal to face Miki. “I don’t think he can be helped. Balal says the
Overlord explained bed play but that I must understand he is a warrior first.”
    Miki shook her
head at the foolishness of these men from Kaban. She wasn’t sure how their
females endured a life devoid of pleasure in the bedroom. “If he won’t listen
to words, you must use action.” The more she thought on it, the more excited
Miki became. Focusing on her friend’s heartbreak kept her from thinking of
Vaan.
    Assa brightened.
“What are you thinking, Miki?”
    She would need
help. “Have Sera and Vesa join us.” The other Raasa female were far more adapt
than Miki at seduction and she had the feeling it would take all of them to
convince Balal.
    Knowing what was
ahead, Assa jumped to her feet, her smile blinding. As she hurried to the
kitchen, Balal paused in his conversation, his gaze following. Miki smiled when
Carog had to thump him twice on the shoulder to pull his attention back.
    She didn’t miss
how Balal’s head jerked up when Assa returned to the dining hall. His brown eyes
narrowed when their group sat together. For a moment, Miki feared he’d join them
but his dark head tilted to the side as if waiting for Assa to acknowledge him.
When she didn’t, his lips firmed and he turned his back toward their little
group.
    Interesting. Miki
controlled the smile wanting to break free. Sera and Vesa sat on either side of
Assa at the table, her gaze earnest.
    “What are you thinking,
Miki?” Assa leaned over the table, green eyes hopeful.
    Miki turned to the
other two women who were close to her heart as well. “We must help Assa win
Balal’s heart.”
    Sera scrunched her
nose, turning her average features cute. “She already has the Warlord. He
doesn’t even look at another.”
    Despite the gold
of her skin, Assa blushed and ducked her head. Dark, chin length hair slid
forward, hiding her face. Miki reached out and tugged on a section. “None of
that.” Taking up where she left off, Miki continued. “Yes, Balal likes her but
he is a Kabanian and Assa is in need of our assistance.”
    She waited a few
moments and then Vera grimaced. Not far behind, Sera stuck out her forked
tongue and frowned.
    “They’re not like
our men at all.” Sera in her innocence blurted out what all of them were thinking
but too hesitant to say. Miki started to laugh and then the others joined in. From
the corner of her eye, once again, Miki watched Balal’s gaze drift their way.
    Vera picked up. “I’ve
only spent time with Ramar on the one occasion and it was over before I knew he
had started.” Her green eyes expressed her disappointment with this more than
her curled lips. “How do you do it, Miki?”
    Three sets of
green eyes stared at her with curiosity. Heat burned her face and Miki almost
regretted the conversation. She glanced from Assa to Balal and back again. The Warlord
had turned so that he faced them completely while he carried on his
conversation.
    Clearing her
throat, Miki thought how best to say things. “Vaan and I don’t have this
issue.” She decided that was all the detail she would go into concerning her
relationship with her mate. “But I do know that it’s the Kabanian way for a
male to not pleasure his woman.”
    Assa slapped her
palm on her smooth forehead. “I am ruined, Su-Su. Balal clearly follows this
practice.”
    Miki grasped
Assa’s hand across the table and squeezed. “You’re not ruined. That’s why
you’re going to get him alone and show him what pleases a Raasa.”
    Sera clapped
eagerly. “That’s perfect.” She leaned around Assa to smile at Vesa. “Let’s all
share our input. My time with Marek is not worth mentioning.”
    Vesa glared. “My
time was not worth mentioning either.”
    It was hard but
Miki smothered a chuckle. “We don’t have to discuss each others experience. I only
wanted to give Assa advice in order to convince Balal that
