“Later then. And I approve inviting Key back to your place.”
“You’ve said that multiple times. Right now, we’re trying to figure out what Valentine wants with the grimoire. He wants me to do the magic in there, probably to bring them back.”
“Good luck with that. I can’t even get you to let me borrow those kick ass black fuck me boots you found at the witch market,” Ripley said.
“Oh, I’m definitely not going to do it. I just haven’t weaseled out of him what his end game is.”
“Well, get to work. We’re going to do Saturday brunch in the gardens at the library to teach Beyla. Kaine is bringing her. I figured we could start with the basics of protection. I’m sure Kaine has dragon things at his house doing that, but it could do with a witchy boost to help keep the humans away.”
“We’ll be there.”
“Invite Key but tell the stupid wolf to say at his hotel.”
“That might be weird. What about Reyson and Felix?”
“It’s not like he hasn’t figured a good bit of that out by now. I didn’t get bad vibes off him.”
“Neither do I. I feel like we can trust him, but he’s weird about his name.”
“Reyson is weird about his Oreos, but I love him anyway.”
“Yeah, but Reyson is older than the universe. He’sallowedto be eccentric.”
“So is Doctor Key, asshole. You know witches can do all kinds of shit with a name. We’re probably the weird ones giving it out everywhere. So many shady ass people came into my library after Silvaria corrupted the spirits, and they all know my name. He’s allowed to be weird about his name. Key is probably figuring out if he can trust you. He’s also a sexy beast. You should let him.”
That was an extremely good point that I hadn’t thought about. Using someone's true name to utterly destroy them had been forbidden for a long time, but that didn’t mean someone wasn’t going to do it anyway. Key oozed power. Did someone try to take him out with his name to even the playing field?
“Maybe some other time, but Killian and I will be there.”
“Okay, but if he’s joining your harem, he’s going to have to meet mine.”
“Ripley! I’m not even there yet.”
“Reyson said it’s coming, and you know how he is with his possibilities.”
“Tell Reyson to keep his possibilities to himself when it comes to my love life. It’s too much pressure.”
“Fine, but when a god tells you hot dick is headed your way, and you already have a fine specimen in your museum, you should jump on that.”
“I’m a scorned woman, Ripley. Unfortunately, I had to put my revenge plans on hold because Valentine was dumb enough to get manipulated by ghosts. So let me take this on my own time.”
“At least tell me the sex was good.”
“I kind of wanted to text Lilith for blessing that boy with skills and a massive cock.”
“You totally should, but only if you send me a screenshot of her reply.”
“You know I’m your wingman for whatever stupid plot you want to drag me into, but I’m going to pass on texting our creator about my boyfriend’s dick.”
“I love that you are calling him your boyfriend now.”
“I have my own plot to come up with. Valentine isn’t just a cheater anymore.”
“Want Reyson to kill him? No one will ever find the body.”
“Not just yet. I know he hasn’t told us everything.”
“Well, go get it, girl. And get to know the hot warlock.”
