I traced patterns on his chest. “It was good. We went ice skating, and we got some food, and then we came home.”
I left out the part about the shower sex. That part of our relationships remained private to each guy. They were happy to share me, but we had our own individual dynamic.
There was a knock at the door, and Azazel frowned. “What the fuck?”
“Are you decent?” Mal called out.
Azazel, bless his heart, pulled the covers up over me even though there was nothing on display that Mal hadn’t seen.
I clutched the sheet to my chest and bit back a smile as he called out for Mal to come in.
Mal entered the room, his nostrils flaring, attention zeroing in on me.
“Hey,” Azazel said. “Eyes on me.”
Mal gave him a look that said,seriously?
“What is it?” Azazel snapped.
My soulmate didn’t like his Fee time being interrupted. I gave Mal an apologetic look.
“We have to go,” Mal said. “Phoenix just arrived. Two troops close to Imperium have been attacked. Minuel is holding shit together by a thread.”
“Fuck.” Azazel shoved off the covers and started to dress.
“Conah’s coming too.” Mal looked at me. “And Keon.”
Azazel pulled on his shirt. “Keon? He’s supposed to keep Fee safe.”
“My first duty is to the queen,” Keon said from the doorway. I tensed, but he didn’t even look my way. “Keeping Fee safe is keeping Lilith safe. Now retrieving the herb is the main way to save Lilith. I’m the only one who can do that.”
He strolled into the room and leaned against the armoire by the door.
What the fuck? Was everyone going to come in and stare at my naked ass covered only by a thin sheet? Not that Keon was staring, in fact, he was actively not looking at me, which would be slightly insulting if I didn’t get where he was coming from. Wait, that made me sound like I wanted him to ogle me.
Conah appeared behind Keon.
Mother of pink frosted donuts.
“The herb is in old daemon territory,” Conah said. His gaze flicked my way, and then he turned his back to the room. “We have no right of access. Lilith was unable to conquer the land there.”
“No,” Keon said. “She could have conquered it, but she chose to leave it.”
“And now you all need to leave my chambers,” Azazel said.
They trooped out of the room, and Azazel closed the door, shaking his head. “I’m sorry. That was…weird.”
My heart sank as I realized they’d all be leaving me. “Be safe out there, please.”
He sat on the bed by my hip and brushed my hair off my cheek. “Will you be all right by yourself?”
“I’ll be fine. I’m going to sleep, and then I’ll head to Necro.”
He nodded. “Good. Stay with the pack. With Grayson.”
He kissed me lightly on the mouth. “I’ll see you soon.”
I curled back up in his bed and crushed the sheets to my nose, inhaling his scent. It wasn’t long until sleep took me.
