"Quit it!" he snapped harshly. The redhead had explained her reasons for having sex with Yuri and why she regarded him as her alpha, but the American still had trouble coming to terms with it. Her words had done more than her wings and tail to emphasise the fact that she wasn't really human. More to the point, he wasn't comfortable accepting the intimacy of such a gesture while Sashira was happily involved with someone else. Russell definitely wasn't a virgin - he had a wandering eye for cute girls and women, and he took pride in giving pleasure to those who shared his bed - but he wasn't a complete slave to his dick. More importantly he wasn't the kind of man to cheat on a girl he was involved with. Sashira didn't seem to have the same compunction.<em>She's a succubus, dipshit! Of course she's not exactly monogamous, even to her alpha!</em><br/><br/>Sure, he wanted to talk things out with Sashira. He wanted to build a friendship with her, get to know her, and find out more about her family and other monsters in general. But the idea of a relationship between them, while originally very appealing, had crashed and burned. Right now Russell was still too tense and upset over the events with Yuri to deal with the bat-winged girl on a level more friendly than casual friendship, like he'd shown in the dining hall they had just left. And he definitely didn't like being played for a puppet or a fool, like she was trying to do to him now.<br/><br/>The dark-haired youth dropped his shoulder out from under Sashira's arm, breaking the touch between them as he turned to face her. "I'm not going to join the beatdown," Russell said harshly. "I bet it's just a way of Madam Arachne trying to tighten her control over us, or just mess with our heads. I've seen documentaries about cult leaders doing stuff like this." Russell shook his head abruptly before letting his eyes meet Sashira's. "I hate being manipulated," he said flatly. "I just wonder how much of it that Madame Arachne still has in store for us."<br/><br/>
