Staring at her outfit, I realize it must be an illusion unless she zipped back home to get some fresh clothes. She is incredible. I’ve never met anyone with magic like hers.

Saylor smiles warmly. “That is very kind of you, King Zython. Thank you for welcoming me into your home.”

He waves his hand in the air. “Call me Zython, please.”

“Zython,” she corrects, taking a bite of the pineapple on her plate. She looks over at me and smiles, and all I can think about is last night and all the things I did to her.

And now… I’m hard.

“What are you both up to today?” Zython asks, glancing between us with an amused expression.

Damn incubi being able to pick up on my lust. They better get used to it when my mate is around.

Axe chuckles, staring at me with wide green eyes over his glass of juice. “Yes, Bane. What are youupto?”

And this is our future king.

Taking me by surprise, Saylor’s hand rests on my thigh under the table, then slowly lifts it toward my crotch.

“I was going to take Saylor to the Fae Kingdom, actually,” I reply, clearing my throat when she starts to gently stroke me. “We need to speak to Soren.”

They all share a look, one I hope Saylor doesn’t pick up on. Maybe they don’t think it’s a good idea bringing Saylor to meet Astrid? It’s not like it’s something I can avoid, and nothing actually happened between Astrid and me. She is extremely happily mated with Rave, and I’m incredibly happy with Saylor.

Saylor didn’t come to me a virgin, so she has her own past, too, and we’re both going to have to navigate that. She’sminenow, and that’s all that matters to me, but it doesn’t change the fact that, yes, I’d like to kill any male who has ever been lucky enough to have their hands on her.

Maybe it’s best I don’t know her history.

“Soren tried to kill me the last time I went there.” August smirks, putting his fork down and sitting back in his chair.

“Well, you did fuck his mate,” Axe says in a dry tone, causing Saylor to choke on her mouthful of mango.

I throw an annoying look in Axe’s direction, but his smirk just deepens. “What? She has a shitload of brothers. She’s used to this.”

“My brothers pretend they’re virgins around me,” she says in a dry tone, making everyone at the table laugh.

She keeps stroking me to the point where I can’t fucking take anymore. I’m about to excuse us when August stands and mutters something about going to see Milana and make sure she ate something.

Saylor’s hand stills, and she turns to me and flashes me an apologetic look.

What is she sorry about?

Is she going to make me come right here in front of everyone? Because I’m zipping us the fuck out of here before that happens.

August leaves the room, and Saylor glances around the table. “I just want to say thank you all for making me feel so welcome in your kingdom. But I do hope that love is unconditional because I might have done something that you all aren’t going to like.”

All eyes leave her to go to me. “What did you do?” I ask, brow furrowing. “You’ve literally only been without me for two hours this morning.”

A bad feeling settles in my gut. Is she okay? Did someone hurt her when I was outside training?

She shrugs, wrinkling her nose. “Bad things happen when I’mleft alone.”

“Sunshine—”

August zips in front of us, his face ashen. “Milana is gone! How the fuck did she get out?”

We all slowly turn our heads to my mate.

She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her head with a stubborn tilt.
