“And the lava cum and spying through walls,” Cole knocked him in the arm with his elbow. “Damn pervert.”
Talon grabbed Cole by the neck and messed up his hair. “Don’t you know it, bitch!”
The disgruntled elemental cut short my laugh, and I hurried the list of wishes along to keep it happy. “Remove the curse over my love that binds him to the stone. Grant my love the power to change into a gargoyle at will and bear their strength, speed, flight, communication channels, and…” I rolled my eyes. “Sight through stone, please.”
My two lovers burst into harder laughter, wrestling like schoolboys.
“And no lava cum, thank you.” Sorry, not sorry.
They both groaned at that one. Bad luck. No more holes through dormitory doors or pulling out before coming. I wanted my man to enjoy the whole ride.
Stone cracked over Talon’s skin and then crumbled, dissipating in the wind as the curse lifted. He tried out his new powers, calling on his gargoyle, and his body crusted over with stone.
“Thank you, Princess.” He came over to kiss me. “Do you think you could ask for some stone superhero briefs? Gargoyle cock is embarrassing.”
I laughed so hard it hurt my stomach, and my men joined in, joking about Talon’s pants.
I conveyed the rest to the elemental, who cracked with agitation but delivered the request.
My Frog Prince swept me into his arms for a kiss that made me swoon. “I think you’re forgetting someone, Princess.”
He released me, and I glanced between Gable and Cole. “Any requests?”
“Is my brother alive?” Gable’s voice shook. “That’s all I want.” He touched my waist and claimed my lips in a thankful kiss that took my breath away.
I teased the lush lock of sable hair over his forehead. “I don’t know about that, but I’ll ask.” I glanced up at the furious mass of swirling clouds. “Can you bring Gable’s brother back to life? Minus the zombie-factor?”
The sky grumbled with the changes set into motion.
Fingers crossed that worked.
I went over to Cole and played with his hair. “What would you like, my knight?”
“Just that we have a home together always.” I loved that he kept it simple.
I traced his temple. “You don’t want me to free your mom?” He always wanted his family back together and now was the perfect time to get it.
“Not yet.” His jaw tightened. “She’s seeking revenge and doesn’t want out until she gets it.”
Another sore spot for him when he didn’t understand why them being together as a family didn’t mean more to her than justice.
“Hmm.” I tapped my lip, coming up with the perfect idea. “For Cole, I request that his mother achieves her revenge and is released from the Guild of Guardians. And that neither he, nor I, nor any of my lovers are suspended or banished from the Guild of Shadows ever again.”
Thunder crashed and lightning flickered as my wish exacted.
Cole grabbed me in a long hug and kiss. “That was perfect, Wildfire.”
“What about you, Princess?” Gable traced my cheek, and my eyelids fluttered at the tingles he triggered. “What do you want?”
I thought about it for a moment. “Just that we’re all together. That Astra is released from the Guardians. And that we never have anything to worry about ever again.”
The heavens cracked so loud as the elemental brought wish into existence.
“It is done!” the elemental boomed over the Cairn. “Release me!”
Yeah, yeah. Hold your snaky tail. I was getting to it.
“Thank you, elemental,” I said, lifting the sigil higher. “Destroy this symbol in my palm. Erase it from my memory and any book that it contains so that no one may command you ever again.”
