“I’m keeping up just fine. Somebody needs to be in the back to make sure we aren’t attacked from behind,” Kael says.
“And that somebody is Brax, not you,” she retorts.
“You do know that Nyx is in charge, not you, right?” Kael says.
Sylara huffs. “Nyx knows that I could challenge him for alpha and win at any time, I just don’t because I love him.”
“Riiiight,” Kael says real slow.
I give Nyx a knowing look but keep my mouth shut. He just shakes his head.
“Why did you think we should bring them all with us again?”Nyx asks in my head.
“So if you get poisoned again, I don’t have to carry your dead body miles by myself to be healed. We brought our healer with us this time.”
“I’d rather die than have to keep listening to them bicker.”
“I think they’re cute together. If they are bickering, then that means Kael can’t be hitting on me.”
“True, I take back all my words. I love them bickering.”
I laugh.
His eyes light up at the sight.“I really wish we hadn’t brought them with us, though.”
“Why’s that?”
Heat reflects in his eyes as they run up and down my body.“Because we never got to finish testing how compatible we are together.”
My panties are soaked, and my body flushed from that thought.
“Knock it off with the dirty thoughts. We’re here,” Sylara says.
“Such a cockblocker,” I mumble and shake my head.
She rolls her eyes. “Now really isn’t the time for that.”
“Maybe it is, how else are we supposed to know if we are mates or not?” Nyx asks.
“I’ve enjoyed fucking countless people, that doesn’t make them my mate,” Sylara says. “It proves nothing.”
I look between the two of them, feeling a bit of deja vu all over again. “The two of you haven’t…?”
“Gods, no. I wouldn’t touch the man. He’s like a big brother to me. I’d rather fight him than fuck him,” Sylara answers.
Nyx makes a disgusted face at the thought of fucking her. And for once, I believe them.
“They really are the epitome of professionals most of the time. They would never mix business with pleasure, but yes, they aren’t each other’s type,” Riven says.
My voice lowers. “Who are their types?”
“For Sylara, it’s men who like to be bossed around but secretly put her in her place.” My eyes flash to Kael.
“And Nyx?”
Riven smirks, his eyes going up and down my body. “You.”
I roll my eyes. “Before me.”
