Page 50 of Knowing Trust

“Please confirm you heard us and can function,” Taeral cut in.

“Yes!” we both yelled.

“Thank you,” he replied before pushing others and leaving the room, somehow managing to get the door closed. I took my magic off of everyone then, figuring they had a lot to discuss about… Whatever was going on.

“The demigod will kill me. Awesome. At least I got to have you first,” Neldor grumbled.

“Seriously?” I snapped as I pulled off of him. “We need to work on your pillow talk.”

“I get a damn pass, Tams,” he threw right back.

Yeah, fair enough.

I headed for his bathroom, but he snagged me around the waist and snuck a quick kiss before helping me clean up. I grabbed something of his I could use for clothes, throwing up my hair which was a complete disaster. We left our wings out but… Yeah, we were totally busted.

Whatever. I wanted to know what was going on now.

“Can I use runes so I can hold up my damn boobs?” I yelled down after I walked out of his room, rolling my eyes when he snorted. I smacked him in the chest. “Shut up, stupid. I don’t have the right—having big breasts is fucking annoying sometimes and my wings get in the way!”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Stefanie and Shael called up to me.

Awesome. I used the rune for that and headed downstairs trying to act like we hadn’t gotten caught having sex and ignored everything else.

Yeah right. I couldn’t even look at my dad. Shael and Stefanie seemed to be the safest bet.

I waved for them to go ahead. “Facts only. No freaking out.”

“You caused an earthquake,” Shael drawled. She smirked at me when my mouth fell open. “Yes, so we’re valid this time.”

I went to lean against the wall and flinched when my wing bumped against it. “Well, fuck.” I rubbed my head and glanced at Neldor. “And you’re sure it was us?”

“Yes. Very. There was no chance it just happened and there was a huge magical explosion,” Shael answered. “I felt it in Faerie, Your Highness. It rattled the portals. I knew something happened on this planet and to get here. I immediately came through and felt the tail end. Every supe in this world will have felt something.”

“The humans are already reporting the earthquake,” someone else confirmed.

“I want to make a joke that I literally rocked your world,” I mumbled.

“After. Later. Not when the demigod is staring at me with my death in his eyes, baby doll,” Neldor bit out.

“Dad, quit it. Focus. Need answers,” I snapped. “If you don’t behave, I’ll have all five of them start calling you ‘Father’ like Julian.” I wasn’t the only one who snickered when that broke him and he cussed up a storm.

“Especially since we’re going to need some specifics, Lag,” Iolas warned.

Then he really lost it.

I had a few choice cuss words as well. “Seriously, I’m such a fucking freak that I can’t even have sex without it being a state issue, and—this is fucking humiliating.”

“It could be my fault,” Neldor mumbled.

“No one here believes that,” I drawled.

He shrugged. “It’s the first time I’ve had sex since I’ve had my wings. You’ve had sex since you’ve had your wings. You’ve had sex with your wings out before. This is on both of us, baby doll.”

That stopped me in my tracks. “Oh, I like that. It really is both our fault for once.” I beamed at him. “I’m not the only freak for once!”

He threw back his head and laughed, coming over and hugging me. He ignored Lageos’s growl and kissed my forehead. “No, not the only freak, okay?”

“I hate to burst your bubble, but this didn’t happen when your parents were intimate or we would have known,” Stefanie said gently.
