Good.
Although, I think she wants to kill you.
She probably does,I agreed.
Not a great way to court her, Ty.
I’m not courting her.
We’ll see,he countered.
I ignored him and met Camillia’s stormy gaze. “Remove your jacket, Camillia.”
A cheer followed my words, and roars of encouragement rippled around us.
Her knuckles turned white as she clutched the embroidered material tighter around her body. “No fucking way,” she bit back, exciting me.
“Hold her,” I ordered my Commander.
He complied by grabbing her shoulders, which made her eyes go round. She appeared ready to say something, but Ajax’s growl drew my focus to the infuriated Warden.
Other than the subtle vibration of that single sound, he remained silent and still, his body trapped beneath Az’s power.
I arched my brow in open challenge.
However, I knew he couldn’t respond. And that was entirely the point. The crowd would see his silence as acceptance, which was precisely what needed to happen.
“You touched something that doesn’t belong to you, Ajax,” I told him, ensuring the whole crowd could hear me. “I warned you not to get distracted. You didn’t listen. Now she’s tainted and ineligible for the trials. For that, you’ll both be punished.”
His jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing into slits.
“Do you have anything to add?” I taunted him, aware that Az had Ajax’s being wrapped up in an energy-infused chokehold.
Sadist,Az echoed into my mind.She is wearing something under this jacket, yes?
Some decorative chains,I told him.
No wonder she’s squirming,he replied.I suspect I know where one of thosedecorative chainsis located.
If she put it on correctly, then you’re likely right,I drawled, my attention still on Ajax as I watched the furious black flames circle his pupils.
My Phoenix wants to fuck her on the stage,Az all but growled back at me.I’m starting to think you’re punishing me in this situation, too.
Because I am.I looked at Az.You and Ajax chose to indulge in fucking her when you were supposed to be interrogating her. That’s not the focused Commander I know.
He snorted back at me.Pleasure can be an excellent interrogation tool.
So that’s your excuse?
No. It’s merely an explanation. Besides, I don’t need an excuse for what we did. She gave us the truth, so I let my Phoenix play. It likes her.
I nearly shook my head in annoyance.She must have a magic pussy.
She does,Az replied.And it’s currently wet, thanks to whatever you put on her.
I didn’t reply, aware that all the Hell Fae were watching, awaiting my next move. They would have perceived my pause as giving Ajax time to think.
But he hadn’t reacted at all. Because he couldn’t.
