“Shit,”Miko said.“The astonished kind of shit.”
I giggled again. “Agreed.”
“And the yeti?”
“She’s dead. I’ll save that story for when I see you.”
He growled.“Even if she is dead, I really want to kill her. Did she hurt you?”
“I’m okay.”
Another protective growl.“I’m coming after you real soon.”
“I’m coming for you,”I countered.
“I love you.”
I wanted to cry again. “Love you, too.”
“I’d better get back to this. I don’t want to stop talking but…”He sighed. “Fuck.”
“I can’t wait for the reunion,”I answered.
“See? You’re boosting me again.”
I felt it, a surge of happiness peppered with love, and just a pinch of lust.
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump.
“Goodbye for now,”I said.“Love you, love you, love you.”
“I love you, Orion Bloom. Looking forward to kissing you again. Bye.”
We ended the connection.
“Is everything okay?” Wendy asked, flying back over, scattering golden dust everywhere.
I nodded. “Sorry. I’m ready now.”
Movement in the trees, those damn watching orbs still spying on us.
Wendy buzzed, the sound similar to her beeps. “Ignore them.”
“Is the king spying on us?”
“Yes. Probably.”
Oh, stars. “Aren’t you worried?”
She flew forward a little bit. “I’ve been worrying my entire life, Orion. Come inside, we’ll talk. It’s about time I got to work on saving Miko’s life.”

Fuck that yeti for messing with my mate.
