“A whole month.”Nyx linked her arm with mine.“Hemustlike you.”Darce rolled his eyes at her.“Don’t worry, Lora, a whole afternoon of me telling you the truth about this asshole will put you right off him.”
“Play nice, Nyx,” Darce threatened but seemed amused.“I’ll meet you at the tavern in a few hours.”With a soft kiss on my forehead, he wandered into the crowd.
“Darce told me to spoil you.Are you a clothes or weapons type of female?”
“I am in need of some new daggers.”
“Oh, we are going to get along fine.Follow me.I knowjustthe place.”She pulled me along excitedly down a side street.

NYX WAS VERY EASY TOget along with.After showing me six different sword establishments, we moved on to armour.Conversation was easy with her because she was a warrior.
“Have you seen much battle?”she inquired while we were taking a break in one of the many taverns.
“None.I had little knowledge of war until Darce began training me.”
“He is a good teacher.He’s shown me many moves over the years.”My heart sank a little, wondering how many females Darce had trained.Had he been physical with all of them?Had he and Nyx once...?I couldn’t finish my thought as jealousy coursed through me.
“Have you and Darce been intimate?”
“Intimate?”Nyx snorted.I was being too polite and quickly changed my style.
“Have you ever fucked?”
“Fuck no!I’m not into males, even if Darce is rather pleasing on the eyes.”Oh, Nyx preferred the company of women.“Plenty have told me what a good fuck he is, though.I can see the appeal.”
“Oh, he’s certainly that.My body has never felt so satisfied, yet craves more and more.”
“That’s the euphoria.Sex will do that to you.It’s fucking addictive, chasing all those orgasms.”
“Darce has had many females then?”
“As I’m sure you’ve hadmanymales.I can see why our prince is a little smitten with you.”Trying to hide my blush, I looked away into the crowd.That’s when I noticed Darce making his way towards me.“He couldn’t even stay away for three hours.”Nyx sniggered under her breath.“What have youdoneto him?”
“I don’t see many items of clothing?”he quipped, looking inside the two bags next to me.“Daggers?”he questioned.
“To help me gut the fish.”A smile played across his lips as he kissed me.“Have you finished with Nox already?”
“Yes.You need to buy a dress before we leave, though.”
“Why?”
“I’m taking you dancing tonight.”Dancing?Did he mean ritual dancing?
“Oh, are we going to Firefly Arch?”Nyx clapped her hands with excitement.“Have you ever been, Lora?”
“She hasn’t,” Darce answered for me, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.“We’ll see you later, Nyx.Tell Mrak, Nadine, Nisha, and Lisha.”He took my hand in his, then picked my bags up and led me out of the tavern.
“What is Firefly Arch?”I asked once we were back out on the cobbled streets.
“You’ll see.I don’t want to ruin the surprise.”He looked like he was getting his bearings.“I’m surprised you didn’t buy a single item of clothing.You seemed to take joy out of changing your scantily dressed body.You made me lose my mind onnumerousoccasions in The Shielding Valley, which would suggest you enjoy clothing.”
“Maybe I was waiting for your approval of what to wear.”
“You look incredible in anything.Although, my cock twitches every time I see you in black.It’s wrong, but I feel as if I’ve corrupted this beautiful, pure flower, and she’s allminefor the taking.”Desire laced his tone, and I had to stop myself from mounting him right in the street.“Come on.Let’s go find you a dress.”
