Hestia: I told you; I'm not that fragile. I can handle a big hug.
Andrew: that's not it. I know you won't crumble under my embrace. I'm not hugging you because I got an issue going on right now. (He says as he uncomfortably looks down at the front of his pants.)
Hestia: Oh my goddess! (Hestia gasps and looks away from his pants embarrassed.)
Andrew: Sorry. I can't really control it. Especially when you look like that and you talk to me like I'm an equal.
Hestia pulls up her new baby blue bodycon dress that cups her petite breats perfectly. Hestia: I'm sorry. I told Nick the A-line dress would have been more appropriate. It covers more.
Hestia: And I don't feel comfortable in tight or revealing things.
Andrews eyes shift to Hestia's butt.
Andrew: Well you look fantastic H. It hugs every single curve perfectly. He says as he slowly walks closer to her.
Andrew: And Manny will have you wearing more things like that.
Andrew grins at Hestia. "May I kiss you Hestia?"
Hestia shyly smiles. "You don't need to ask Andrew."
Andrew: I do if I don't want to be killed by my Alpha. (He chuckles.)
Hestia: I have strong feelings for you Andy. I think I'm falling for you. Like really hard.
Andrews eyes widen. "Really?"
Hestia: Yes, I just don't want to ruin our friendship.
Andrew: It was ruined the day I saw you naked after you got out of the bath. You thought we were gone for the day. But I came back early.
Hestias face flushes. How can I forget.
ANdrew: And you don't want to upset Emmanuel.
Hestia nods. "Yeah. He told me he loves me yesterday."
Andrew: Wow. That's heavy.
Hestia: It defintly was. And I told him I love him too.
Andrew: Ummmm.....okay. So what does this mean for me?
Hestia: Nick says that I will be the consort and bondmate to you and him if I reciprocate feelings for you. I'll have different bonds with you two than the others. I'll more so be like a girlfriend and mistress.
Andrew: I know that. (He chuckles.) But I was wondering what it means emotionally. Our Tribe has never gone through anything like this. So It's just a matter of time before it crumbles under jealousy and rage. And often ends with brutal Sexual Crimes toward the Maidens.
Hestia: That won't happen because I love you both and I'm willing to sacrifice my High School life to be emotionally and physically with you both. And if that means I have to be the consort to the entire Tribe and girlfriend to you AND Nick; then I am prepared for that. It's my legacy.
Andrew: You won't be the consort to all of us. You'll only be the consort to me, Adonis, Victor, Nick, and maybe 8 or 9 others at the most.
Hestia gasps: Only 9 at most?
Andrew: Yes. Not all 30 of us. That'd be far too wrong.
Hestia: To be honest. All of this seems wrong to me.
Andrew: I know. But that's how it's supposed to be. The Alpha Tribe has never had a female born or bonded into the Tribe. It's always been by marriage. And since you are born, AND, Bonded into our Tribe; It makes it more complicated and more strict for you. But also far more pleasurable.
