Argernon wrapped his arms around her, gripping her ass with both hands. They were both breathing hard. His palm caressed the curve of her backside. A deep rumble of a chuckle came from him. Casey lifted her head to look at him.

"I take it that you're not mad?"

"No. What is a slouch?"

She grinned. "I can seduce you too."

"Beautiful, you could just smile at me and I would want buried into you, deep."

"Well, if that's the case, I won't ask you to open your pants anymore, or give you a show of me playing with myself while I ride you."

"Please do." He grinned.

She laughed. "Okay. Only if you follow orders from time to time and ask really nicely."

Sitting up, she removed the shirt. She was hot with it on. "So what can I order you to do next? I have a few ideas."

Argernon rolled suddenly, pinning her down under his body. "I would--"

Their bedroom door opened. Casey gasped. They were both naked. Argernon was on top of her and they were fused together, since he was still deep inside her body. She turned her head.

Bara walked into their bedroom gripping a wicked-looking knife. It looked big and sharp. Horror hit Casey as she realized the woman was rushing at them.

Argernon sighed, not looking. " Gava, never enter our room. Casey is shy about--"

Casey used all her strength to shove at Argernon. She managed to knock him away from the oncoming woman with the knife, and screamed out a warning. Argernon saw the danger about the time he hit where Casey had shoved him to. A roar exploded from his lips as he gripped Casey. He rolled with her so they both fell off the other side of the bed. It was a hard landing that Argernon took the worst of it since Casey landed on top of him. She heard a cracking sound and stared down at Argernon's face in. His eyes were closed.

"You humans think you can just take our men," Bara yelled.

Casey got to her feet. Argernon didn't move and he didn't open his eyes, but she knew he was breathing. She realized he must have hit his head. She stared across the massive bed at Bara who stood on the other side, knife in hand, growling at her.

"I was with ArgisRal serving in his household. That human weakling tricked him into bounding with her while he was captured by an enemy." Bara inched toward the end of the bed, knife fisted in her hand, glaring at Casey. "He gave me to ArgisArgernon, and he promised me that he wouldn't trade me to another household. He was tricked by you. I will not be removed from another household. The house I chose is not an Argis home." The woman looked pissed as she moved closer to Casey. "I don't have my own room. The male is not as good with sex as ArgisArgernon. He can't buy me the things I want, because he said he keeps a budget." She spat the word. "I want my household back and you can't be bound to ArgisArgernon if you are dead.

If he does not like it he will die with you. I will not give up my nice things."

Casey swallowed hard staring at the knife-wielding bitch who was obviously totally nuts.

Bara was a lot taller and stronger. Casey glanced at Argernon. He was coming around. His leg moved as he groaned. He reached for the back of his head to rub it, his eyes opened. He frowned, exploring the back of his head, as Casey's gaze flew away.

Bara wasn't just a danger to Casey. She was a danger to Argernon. He wasn't going to let Bara get away with killing her. Casey knew that. Argernon would gut the bitch with the knife she used on Casey if Bara killed her. Casey took a deep breath. She did the last thing the crazy Zorn woman expected. She walked to the end of the bed, watching as Bara moved with her, until the bed was no longer between them. Casey screamed while launching her body at the bigger woman.

Casey saw shock widen the woman's eyes as she realized Casey wasn't backing away, but instead was attacking. Casey tackled the woman, grabbing for the arm with the knife with both hands, as their bodies slammed brutally together. They both went down in a heap. Casey landed on top of Bara. She knew Bara got the wind knocked from her by the loud gasp as they hit and Bara's face paled considerably. Casey didn't hesitate for a second. She lifted her knee, ramming it between Bara's thighs hard.

The woman screamed a second later. Man or woman, Casey knew that fucking hurt. The knife dropped from Bara's fingers so Casey could shove it away. The knife slid under the bed. As soon as Casey realized it was out of Bara's reach Casey turned her attention to Bara's face.

Hauling back her fist, Casey punched her in the nose with everything she had. Pain shot up Casey's arm, but she hauled her fist back to hit Bara again. She saw blood. Bara screamed.

Casey grabbed a handful of the woman's hair to use it to ram her head into the floor. With her other hand, she again punched in the face.

Two large hands grabbed Casey around her torso. She was pulled off the screaming Zorn woman under her. Casey jerked her head around to stare at Argernon. He pulled her back into his chest while backing up. His hold on her shifted so he was wrapping his arms around her hips and her breasts. He hugged her to his body, while he backed both of them across the room, away from the woman on the floor.

Bara curled into a ball where she lay, sobbing, between cries of pain. Her nose was bleeding and both of her hands were cupping her groin. The sound of pounding boots penetrated Casey's brain about the same time that Argernon cursed, spinning them both around. He pinned Casey to the wall. His body almost smashed her there. She could see over his shoulder when she turned her head to look over her own.

Four Zorn men dressed in black rushed into the room. They looked at the woman on the floor before their stares jerked to Argernon. The man with red hair snarled.

"What is happening here?"

Argernon growled. "That was my lead house helper until she went to another home yesterday. She did not like that I bound to a human so I no longer had a need for other women in my home. She came here with a knife. It is under the bed where it slid away during the fight. She attacked me and my bound with threats of death. She no longer had a right to be in my home.
