His eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Mhmmm. Well, if you think she was impressive," he gestured toward the end of the street and the people passing at the intersection ahead. "You're going to love what's ahead."
We emerged into the large intersection, and my jaw dropped.
He was right …
A little girl with curling horns atop her head and a long fluffy tail darted past me, chasing after a little fuzzy green creature with three heads. And across the street, a vendor was yelling about some kind of prickly purple fruit, gesturing wildly with his four arms.
Wow!
I froze as a tall man covered with fur and sporting four purple eyes narrowed his gaze and strode towards us.
He spat at our feet, hissing, "Roain," as his forked tongue unfurled between his pointed teeth.

Ijumped back, but Jaiel didn't seem to notice, already on the move.
"Come on, Princess," he said, cheerily gesturing toward the port coming into view. "We have a ship to catch. You can gawk at my people another time."
I jogged to catch up, but couldn't take my mind off that last Fae with a stick up his ass.
What did Roain mean? And why did Jaiel seem completely oblivious to it?
"You know …" he said, after a few minutes. "I do have one question."
I dodged a man precariously balancing a round cask over his head as he boarded a nearby ship. He saw us and scowled, muttering something under his breath.
But Jaiel continued as though nothing had happened.
I stared after him, confused.
Maybe it was normal treatment here, though. If so, combined with Fae charisma, it made sense why the guards had been so wary.
Though they really didn't need to be such condescending asses about it.
Jaiel looked back over his shoulder and gestured for me to catch up.
I rolled my eyes.
"As I was saying — were you against me coming because you were afraid I'd try to seduce you?" he asked, cocking his brow.
I bit back a laugh. "Not even a little. You're lazy, untrustworthy, and only think with that pierced cock of yours. Do you really think that's a suitable partner for such a dangerous mission?"
He grinned. "You seem rather preoccupied with my cock for someone who claims to dislike me, Princess." His eyes narrowed. "Are you sure you aren't secretly jealous? My charisma could do with a top off … I mean, so long as you don't talk, I can just imagine —"
I stomped hard on his toes, then strode away, trying to ignore the intense burning across my cheeks and chest. I was not intrigued by the thought of his cock … not much, at least.
A short woman with two winged babies perched on her hips froze as Jaiel passed in front of her, then sighed in relief and darted away.
I stared after her, confused.
I'd thought it might be me causing the Fae to act strange, but it was definitely something about Jaiel.
"Well, now … isn't this a surprise?"
Lynn's teasing voice made me jump, and I turned to see a human guard from the palace escorting my assistant toward us.
