“How do you feel?” I ask. “I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk last night.”
“We had other things to do.” He gives me that cheeky grin. “It was weird though. Different from the other times.”
“Yes, I think it’s because it wasn’t me,mymagick, that uhm, killed you,” I say quietly. “It was Ambrosia, so it affected you differently.”
“Huh,” he says. “That makes sense, I suppose.”
I let out a shallow breath of relief that he bought my half-truth. I think he only comes back to life if his death is tied tome.As it was Ambrosia who killed him, I’m fairly sure he would have stayed dead if I hadn’t brought him back to life with my silver ribbons. I don’t know for sure, obviously, and it’s something that I never want to find out for definite.
“What about the ravens?” he asks carefully. “They came back to life too.”
“I did that,” I say lightly. “We are all connected.”
He nods slowly. I have no idea if he is buying this, but I really don’t want to tell him the whole truth right now. He, and all the other men, will have a million questions that I just don’t have the answers to. It’s poor reasoning, but it doesn’t make me change my mind.
“Are you busy? We would like to discuss what to do about Ambrosia. Everyone is waiting in the meditation room,” he says suddenly.
“Oh,” I say, taken aback slightly. I look at the pile of folders on my desk and then back into his bright blue eyes. “Sure,” I say and take his hand.
He leads me over to the door but then lets me go with a sorrowful look. “Until things are official with you and Trey, I think it best to keep a low profile,” he mutters.
I nod, feeling bad, and follow him out of my office and down the huge hallway to the room where the rest of my men are gathered and not in the best of moods, it appears.
Rath and Theo are staring at each other while Trey and Jerrick scowl at them.
“Everything okay in here?” I ask cautiously.
“Oh, just fine,” Trey spits out. “If you like two of your men getting it on behind your back!”
My blood runs slightly cold until I fully take in what he said. “Wait? What?Together?”
“We walked in on Rath and Theo kissing,” Trey snarls.
“Notkissing,” Rath is quick to point out, holding his hand out to me in a ‘hang-on’ gesture.
“Sure looked like it from where we were standing,” Trey grits out.
“I can explain,” Rath says calmly as I just stand there, looking between the two of them, feeling something that I have never felt before and hadn’t even thought of.
The idea of watching the two of them kissing has made me go damp between my legs.
“Uhm,” I croak.
“Savvie,” Rath says, coming to me. “It wasn’t what it looked like.”
“I drank his blood, and it was…” Theo rasps.
I look deep into his eyes as he also comes closer. He is highly aroused.
“Why did you drink his blood?” I whisper. This has just gone from erotic to something else, something a bit darker.
“I offered it to him,” Rath says. “Your reaction to his bite last night was interesting, I wanted to experience it, feel what you felt.”
“Oh,” I practically pant, my emotions flipping back over into the erotic camp. “And? Did you like it?” I ask darkly, stepping into his personal space and looking up at him.
“I did,” he almost growls. “Seems young Theo did as well.”
“Are you upset?” Theo asks, coming down from his high slightly to ask me this.
