Yes and no. She's not saying now, but she did end up as Immortan Joe's wife. She was just spared the training for it, in the Breeder Court, and spared being relegated to a slave or a plaything afterward, once her infertility was discovered.
(Or, at least, her inability to bear a child for Joe. V8 knows his seed was bad. If that weren't the case, he could have had hundreds of children in the time he had to try for them. She doesn't expect a baby of her own at this point, though theoretically she's young enough still, but she's careful. Just in case.)
Seeing her touch isn't unwelcome, she moves around to lean against his side lightly, the same sort of proto-cuddle-pile she's shared with dozens of War Boys in the field and in the Citadel barracks. Warmth and casual camaraderie. He would benefit from more of that, she thinks. Leadership is hard and cold, and he seems to have have too much of it for the time being. Fireside storytelling and binding healing wounds for each other, watching each other's six; despite all the flaws in War Boy culture, Furiosa has taken a lot of comfort in these traditions, splitting her time between War Boys and Many Mothers and finding she needs both to heal.
"At this point," she says with a smile, "they've seen enough Nexus visitors they're not easily shocked. They always take notice when I bring a guest, but no one would object or be frightened."
