“I need Rinnon to mark Logan. I need to make sure that my mate is imperviable.”

No. What is this? I’m not handing out marks like candy to kids dressed like my worshipers.

Rinnon.

I said no, Flynn.

Flynn knew how to handle that, and if the demon God thought he wasn’t going to be able to change his mind, he was very wrong.

“Jolie, Rinnon is being…Rinnon.”

That was enough to tell her exactly what he was complaining about, and she was going to stop that.

“You will mark the human,” she said.

Flynn let Rinnon out, since he was going to have to do the work on this one, and Flynn didn’t want an ass kicking. Let Rinnon say no to the wife.

That should be fun.

“I will not.”

Cerise and Logan watched as they got ready to have a marital dispute. They both knew Jolie was brave.

Tommy just laughed as he sat on a chair, enjoying the show. Someone clearly had misinformed Rinnon who was in charge of this circus.

Spoiler…

It wasn’t him.

“Oh, you will.”

“Or what?”

Flynn cringed from deep within himself.

Oh, now, you’re about to have your ass handed to you. When will you learn?

Jacques simply laughed from where he was sitting.

“Oh, is that so, Rinnon. Well, the‘or what’is going to be about me not lettingANYof you have sex. Not Flynn, not Jacques, and certainly not you. So your two friends here will be more than happy to talk you into letting me win.”

The men stopped laughing.

“That’s‘or what’. Now, do you want to see how angry I can get, or do you want to mark the human before we head out and try to find these two artifacts?”

Do it,Flynn whispered.Don’t piss off your pregnant mate. That will be bad for all of us.

Rinnon grumbled.

Only, he suspected his mate would hold her ground, and Flynn had told him he couldn’t compulse a woman to make her sleep with him.

That was a big no, apparently.

Finally, he gave in.

“Fine. Take off your shirt, human. I’ll mark you. It’s going to hurt. Yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. See? It takes the fun out of it!”

Jolie just pointed.
