“Don’t,” I repeated.

Her grin widened and she turned to Court. “Nowyou.”

“Don’t,” Court said obediently.

She giggled. “So cute.”

“Stand up, Evelyn.” I stood and took herhands before pulling her to her feet.

She swayed wildly and then leaned againstme. “My head is so…” she made a twirling motion next to her head with herfinger.

“Because you drank too much wine,” I said.

Court joined us as Evelyn frowned. “I onlyhad half a glass.”

“Gallberry wine is much more potent than thewine you make on earth,” I said. “For someone as little as you, it would onlytake a few sips for you to feel its effects.”

“I’m not little.” Her hand traced my chestbefore she reached out and traced Court’s chest. I heard his sharp inhale asshe smiled at him. “Although, I suppose compared to you guys, I’m on the smallerside. You’re so big, aren’t you?”

Court nodded. Evie’s hand was stilltracing his chest and I could see his erection tenting his pants.

“I’d like to find out how exactly big youare,” Evelyn’s voice was growing lower, “how big and hard and warm you are.”

“Krono,” Court groaned when her fingers slippedacross his stomach and then tugged on the waistband of his pants, “we need toget her to bed, Bran. Right now.”

“Yes, please. I want to fuck both of you,”Evelyn said.

Court and I groaned in unison, and cursingunder my breath, I lifted Evelyn into my arms and carried her toward her bedroom.

“No, your room.” Evelyn pounded on myback. “My room is too cold.”

I ignored her and carried her into herbedroom. Court pulled back the quilt and the extra blankets and I set Evelynon the bed. She was still dressed but helping her change into her night clotheswas a dangerous idea.

I pulled up the blankets before she could climbout of bed as disappointment crossed her face. “Why won’t you guys fuck me?”

“You must go to sleep, Evelyn,” I said.

She yawned, disappointment still thick onher face. “I’m not tired. I want to fuck you.”

“We cannot,” Court said.

“You don’t want me,” she said.

“We do,” Court said.

“Court, be quiet,” I said.

He ignored me. “We do want you, little human,but not while you are drunk.”

“Tomorrow then?” she said.

Without looking at me, Court nodded. “Yes,if you still want us to fuck you tomorrow, we will.”

“Court, enough!”

My voice was raised in anger and I immediatelyregretted my tone, knowing it would scare the little human. To my surprise,she reached out and caught my hand without any visible fear. “Don’t be angrywith him, Bran. Okay? Please?”

“Okay,” I said. “Go to sleep, Evie.”
