My village was desperate to stop the orc raids, and moved to force the only kind of treaty orcs respect: one sealed with passion. They captured an orc and told the monster that he'd take a human bride, or he'd die.
I'm avoiding a slightly worse fate.
We've both made the choice to survive. Now, we're saying our vows through prison bars, neither of us fully able to trust the other. Everything about him screams danger, from his chiselled body to his too-intelligent eyes. He's called us barbarians; he's mocked at our faith. He's wary of me, as a magic user, as a human, as a weakling...though that doesn't seem to have dampened his interest in taking me to his bed.
I want to hate him. I want to see him as a monster. I want him to be someone whose blood won't weigh on my conscience, if I have to kill him.
If only he didn't show me more tenderness than any man I've ever known.
Orc-Wed is a series of interconnected standalone romances set in the McMara Orcs universe.
