“Now, boy, you have become irrelevant. Nothing but a threat that needs disposing of. As of this moment, you are denied your birthright. You are no son of ours and certainly no heir. Malrik’s corruption of our bloodline ends here. With your fall.”

I blinked out of my thoughts.

Motherfucker.

“We need to talk about what happened. It’s time to share it with Ari and Nyx.”

I stilled on showering, hearing Kai’s booming, commanding voice even over the running water beating down on me.

That shit was the last thing I wanted to talk about, let alone discuss in a group format.

I peered through a gap in the shower curtain in one of the spare rooms.

Nyx had been showering in the ensuite of Ariana’s room, so I’d been directed down here by a very pleasant Lucian Black.

And there Kai was wearing his usual armor in the form of his black leather trench coat, his black button down and his dress pants. Even though we were inside, he had the coat on. He was tense being here in Ariana’s family home, tense about theKetheron threat,andtense about what had happened to us in the Dracoryn Realm.

He caught my eye and I flashed him a wink and a salacious smirk. “As if you just barged on in here to talk about that. It could’ve waited. So, why don’t you slide off that coat, rip off your shirt, and lose the pants, then step into the shower with me like you obviously want to?”

“V,” he grumbled.

“Before you try to deny it, know that I just felt your pulse pick up merely at the suggestion of you getting all wet and naked with me under here.”

“You were picking up on agitation.”

“Sexualagitation?”

He grunted. “You’re being unbelievably transparent with your determination to shift the subject matter.”

I jerked the shower curtain all the way back, startling him as it put my wet, naked body on full display.

Startling Kai Hunter and throwing him off-kilter was a thrill like no other.

And I wanted to push it further.

I wrapped my hand around my cock and stroked it slowly up and down, feeling it hardening intensely with my every stroke, and the undeniable interest sparking in his eyes.

I watched his throat work.

There it is, sorcerer. Give me all that heat and lust.

I groaned as pleasure shot through my cock at the thought of it, of him snapping and slamming me against the wall with his magic, then grinding his delicious cock against my ass. I could also do with Nyx in here, taking my cock down his throat, reveling in me feeding him one hell of a mouthful. Kai could hold our goddess under the shower water, spread her thighs wide and let the water tease the fuck out of her sweet cunt until shewas moaning and shuddering and reaching for us, all needy and desperate to be consumed.

“Ah… fuck,” I grunted, my hand speeding up as those erotic images rolled over me.

But then I was jolting as a spark of magic hit my hand and ripped it from my cock.

I looked out to see Kai glaring at me, his rose-gold power live on one of his palms. “Enough.”

I stilled, our eyes locking, challenging one another.

And then I went to grasp my cock again.

“I swear to fuck…” Kai rumbled.
