Page 49 of Surviving Enchantment: Part One
“So, Jennel promised them sex to get help luring me here?”
Demuel laughed.“Yes.She’s very direct.”
“Yes, it’s a dark fae thing.”
“Is it?I look forward to being bribed at your earliest convenience.”
Solor walked up and touched her belly through the protective layers.“You do not look pregnant, but I can feel it.”
“Good.So can I.”She grimaced.
His expression was concerned.“Does it hurt?”
“It is weird, but I am used to it.”
Demuel murmured, “You didn’t have to do this alone.”
“Really?I honestly didn’t know how to mention that I wanted to kick that satyr’s groin repeatedly.”
Solor chuckled.“It was quite the backlash.”
“Yeah, but if we hadn’t been staying at the same hotel, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“About that, in full disclosure, we were staying at the governor’s mansion; we just followed you to your hotel.”
She winced.“Of course.Figures.”
Demuel chuckled as he held her hips.That appeared to be his move.“You left a trail of energy a mile wide.You were also the most receptive of anyone at the meeting, even if you were on the sidelines.”
“If I ever see Zerul again, I am going to kick his ass.”
“I am going to send him something nice.”Demuel stroked her hips.
She glared up at Solor, and he wisely remained quiet.
She huffed.“So, I will meet you guys at the diner at the end of the shift.”
Solor pulled out his phone.“Give me your number.”
She tutted and juggled the precious snacks to get her phone out.She felt one of Demuel’s hands leave her hips and saw his phone out of the corner of her eye.She rattled off her number, and they each sent her a text.Demuel’s was a black unicorn emoji, and Solor’s was a stag.She felt the hum of her phone as they each set a tracking spell on it.
“I said I would be there.”
Solor nodded.“We are just being careful.”
She stepped away from Demuel and stood between them.“If either of you interferes with my duties, I am going to move halfway across the continent.I am a medic when I am on duty and driving that thing, and if you guys get in the way at all, I will blaze so bright I will melt the hair right off your heads.”
Demuel smiled.“Understood.Just don’t do anything dangerous if you can help it.”
“I am wearing the protective spells and charms so I can go about my normal duties.The baby is starting to change the way I move.I need all the help I could get.”
Solor sighed.“Please tell me you have prenatal care.”
“Of course.My roomie is a midwife, and Matthias can confirm he found my medical records.I go for regular checks.”She smiled.“And get checks while I eat dinner at home.”
Solor’s shoulders relaxed.
She looked at Demuel.“Can you move the SUV, or do you want to see how much the rig can push.I guarantee it will surprise you.We have a bush bar for a reason.”
