Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me

Tera wanted the ground to swallow her whole.

How the hell was she supposed to know he was just going to take her somewhere to wash herself when he didn’t say anything about it?!

’Who just grabs someone and just...’

Tera trembled as another wave of anger and embarrassment overtook her.

And she had gone and delivered an entire dramatic speech about decency and dignity and how much she wanted to fuck him again while her eyes watered like a leaky faucet in front of this brute.

Her eyes were still wet, but she had no intention of looking up to meet his eyes. If she could go the rest of this strange, day without acknowledging what had just happened, that would be ideal.

”Put me down,” she said flatly.

Xavi did not understand what had happened, and he was getting even more confused by the second. One moment the female was yelling, the next she sounded like she was about to cry, and now she was just hanging under his arm in complete silence.

Or did she not like him carrying her like this?

He looked at her scarred feet. It would not have made sense for her to further injure her legs along the way, and she would have slowed him down.

His gaze drifted up to land on her bare ass, and he quickly looked away, annoyed at himself.

”I said put me down. I will bite you.”

Xavi smiled. With what teeth was she going to use?

”You have no fangs.”

Tera’s irritation slightly increased. She was dangling like a caught fish, and he would not even let her walk on her own?

[Observation: Host’s embarrassment levels are reaching critical mass]

[( ◕▿◕ )]

’Shut up.’

[Host’s face is currently the colour of a ripe tomato]

Tera wanted to throw the system into the sun.

Then Xavi shifted her.

Suddenly, she was cradled against his chest. Her cheek pressed against solid muscle. Her legs were tucked against his side, and the position was almost gentle despite how fast he had flipped her.

One of her hands had landed on his chest for balance. She flexed her fingers absently and felt the muscle give slightly under her touch.

Soft.

His pec was soft.

’Well, damn.’

Tera forgot she was supposed to be embarrassed, and squeezed.

”All is forgiven,” Tera announced, sniffing and blinking away the wetness in her eyes.

She lightly squeezed again just to make sure the first squeeze had not been a fluke.

[You are a deeply unusual individual]

[ಠ_ಠ]

[Is this a coping mechanism?]

Tera ignored the system and focused on her newfound joy. She could feel Xavi stare down at the top of her head. His confusion was practically vibrating through his skin.

”You are...” He trailed off, apparently unable to find the right word.

This female who had been on the verge of tears was now complementing his chest and squeezing him like he was a piece of meat she was testing for freshness.

Xavi silently concluded that this female was every bit as shameless as the rumours claimed, and that he would get to the bottom of whatever scheme this was.

They walked for a short while longer, and Tera was just starting to get comfortable when the sound of running water reached her ears.

She perked up despite herself and was shocked to see an actual calm river rather than a small stream.

”Oh, this is actually—”

Xavi tossed her in.

Tera hit the water with a splash and came up sputtering. The cold shocked through her and she whipped around to glare at him.

”A little WARNING?!”

Xavi was already seated on a large flat rock at the water’s edge, arms crossed, watching her with an expression of deep satisfaction.

”You said you wanted to wash.”

”You didn’t say you would YEET me!”

He frowned. ”I do not know this strange word. Wash, and do not think about running away. You will be kept here until I decide what to do with you. I will not let you harm my clan.”

Tera groaned and turned away from him, deciding not to waste her breath. The cold water was oddly soothing. The soreness between her legs eased, the grime washed away, and her head started clearing.

She splashed water on her face, and started to rinse her body, wishing she had soap.

Tera glanced over her shoulder to find Xavi looking at the trees.

She looked away, and looked back a second later. He was staring at her. The moment their eyes met, his head snapped toward the trees again like he had been caught doing exactly the thing he had been doing, which was staring at her wet, naked body.

Tera almost laughed.

It then occurred to her that if he truly didn’t want her here, he could have just send her away and exiled her like the Jackdaw tribe her. Since he knew her as a shiftless troublemaker with zero standing, he had every reason to toss her out and no reason to keep her.

She turned to face him fully. The water came up to just below her navel, and when she leaned forward slightly, water dripped from her hair to trail down the swell of her breasts.

Xavi’s jaw tightened as he continued focusing on the completely interesting trees.

”So,” Tera said coyly. ”What exactly are you going to do with me?”

”That is not your concern.”

”It sort of is, considering I’m the one being kept hostage. You could just let me go and send me on my merry way if you don’t want me to cause you any trouble.”

”You are a known troublemaker. Letting you roam free would be irresponsible.”

”Irresponsible to whom?”

She waded closer to the edge, then leaned forward onto one of the smooth rocks to prop her chin on her hands. The position made her breasts dangle, giving him a full vantage point.

”Are you sure that you’re keeping me here because I’m a threat?” She smirked. ”I think you don’t actually want me to leave.”

”Enough questions. Wash yourself.”

He stood up and disappeared into the trees, leaving Tera stunned.

Where exactly was he going?

She sighed and looked around, hoping nothing would ambush her in his absence.

”Hey. Show me my stats.”
