The buzz made him twitch as the dice left his fingertips.

I laughed, and Angelica looked at me like I’d lost my mind.

Pretty sure I lost that about the time I drove a car off a cliff to prove a point.

The kings zoomed back to their seats as Kyros read my message. He lifted his head, andholy shit, I swore he looked straight at me through the camera.

“What did you just say?” Conrad whispered.

My cheeks warmed. “Just discussing the weather.”

He snorted.

The dice catapulted over the chamber, but as they slowed, everyone quieted. We couldn’tafford Fyrlia to land on Agriculture again. It was the only industry where neither clan had a large foothold yet. With Mr Ringly’s ongoing development, if Fyrlia gained traction there first, we werereallyscrewed.

The dice by Queen Titania’s foot was a five.

The other was a four.

A nine. Which put them firmly on Agriculture.

“Fucker.” I booted the glass tube.

Ilion gripped my arm as excited murmurs erupted at my back. “No, one of the dice is touching Queen Bethany’s shoe.”

Cool.I hoped they could sell it on eBay for a good price.

“If either dice touches someone, they have to roll again,” Danielle said.

Oh.“That’s great!”

Inwardly, Kyros was roaring with laughter though not a speck of it showed physically.

“Distraction from the same side isn’t considered interference,” Conrad said, gripping my shoulder tight.

Peering back to the live streaming, I studied King Mikael. The only sign of his fury was the white skin where his lips pressed together.

The kings stepped forward again. I had no idea how to gauge Julius’s reaction, but I felt he’d be all for the humiliation of his enemy.

Kyros was typing back.

What has changed in the last two hours?

I waited until after Mikael’s roll to respond this time. He’d be braced for the distraction and messing with him twice felt like tempting fate.

Hmm, what had changed in the last two hours? I’d learned Kyros sacrificed his time and happiness so my friend kept her freedom and life.

But really?

Sighing, I messaged back.

Nothing

Not only did I need the fifth exchange with Kyros. I fucking wanted it.Bad.

Desperately.

He was the whole damned tower, and I was so far gone that denial was futile.
