I run my hand over my face. This meeting has gone on long enough. “I need to inform my men of this development.”
“Of course,” she murmurs. “I’ll send you an invitation for dinner at a later date. Until then, feel free to keep the suite.”
“Thank you,” I tell her.
But we won’t be needing it much longer,I think.Because all four of us will be heading to the Elite City. Tonight.
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
FLAME
“Your hair is so beautiful,”I murmur as I draw a comb through Alina’s damp strands. She’s lounging in my lap in the bathtub, her body practically humming with content.
Or maybe that’s just my purr whirring through her that I’m sensing.
It’s no longer a sexual rumble, but a soothing one, much more similar to the one Orcus emits in her presence.
My jaguar is momentarily satisfied.
Yet my cock is still hard against Alina’s bare ass.
I’m pretty sure I will forever be aroused in her presence, and I’m not the least bit displeased with that fact.
“Thank you for brushing it,” Alina whispers. “It feels nice.”
I kiss her neck. “I’ll happily brush your hair every day for the rest of our lives.”
She shivers, her body melting into mine even more. “For… for eternity, right?”
I smile. “Yeah, little panther. Foreternity.”
“Once we mate?” she clarifies, obviously having heard Reaper’s comments about her pending immortality.
“Yes.” I set the comb aside and clasp her chin to guide her face backward so our eyes can meet. “How do you feel about that?” I imagine it’s a bit overwhelming for her.
Although, she was born in a world where supernaturals taking mates is considered normal, so perhaps it’s not all that unexpected.
“I… I feel relieved,” she whispers. “I like being here with you. With Reaper. With Orcus, too. You all make me feel safe and warm and…” She trails off, her nose scrunching.
“And?” I prompt her.
“Needy,” she admits, squirming a little in my lap.
I chuckle, my arm banding around her lower belly while I keep my opposite hand on her chin. “Fae have quite the sex drive, my panther queen. It’s okay to feel needy. I think it’s pretty clear that I feel similarly.” To showcase my point, I press my cock against her ass.
She blushes fiercely in response.
It’s adorable.
“Mythos Fae Omegas are even more sexually charged than most,” I add. “Or that’s what Orcus has said, anyway. Reaper is quite excited about it.”
Alina’s cheeks turn redder. “I’m not sure how to respond to that.”
“You don’t have to respond at all.” I release her chin to palm her cheek. “But I wouldn’t be sad if you wanted to kiss me again instead.”
Her lips curl a little, then she leans into me and slowly turns around in the water to face me.
It’s a massive whirlpool-style tub, making it easy for her to move and straddle my hips.
