Would anything even change if I said such things? All he cares about is how to consummate and make me carry his snake babies. I'm not sure he was interested in my thoughts.

I stiffened, pressing my elbows tighter to my chest. He didn't have to say it twice.
"No one would reject you," he continued but I narrowed my eyes.
He has no idea what Arinya has had to go through. What makes him so confident?
"And no one has ever accepted me either," I said, my eyes fixed on those emerald serpentine eyes of his.
