“If you aren’t looking forward to it, why are you going?”
“Because I need to talk to him.He’s one of my compatibles, and I am pretty sure he knows it.”
Serin nodded.“Ah.Well, at least he hasn’t just hijacked a random person because you thought they were hot.”
Deno snickered.“I agreed.I think you are hot as well, Serin.I plan to embarrass our little one at every opportunity by proving how attractive I find their mother.”
Harper grinned.“Couple goals.”
Serin chuckled.“Right.Stop stalling.Oh, when is your assistant going to be arriving?”
Harper looked down at her phone and grinned.“In ninety minutes.She’s getting a flight out with a shipment of clothing for you.Costumes for a project.”
Deno blinked.“Just like that?”
“You will understand when you see her.”Harper chuckled.“She can’t be missed.She’s amazing.”
Deno smiled.“I will meet her at the helipad.What does she look like?”
Harper grinned and stood.“Sex in human form.It will make sense when you see her.”
Serin snorted.“Maybe I should go get her.”
Harper grinned.“She’s also the most honourable woman I have ever met.She can sense a bonded male from a distance of fifty paces.Piper will probably come to the square after she changes.”
Serin nodded.“Okay.I will wait here to see how sex walks the earth.”
Harper giggled and headed for the path to the square.“Only on Wonder.”
She thought she would be early, but Tez was waiting for her.He smiled, his glowing gold hair catching the attention of several ladies.His tan indicated that he had been out on the beach for a while.
“Harper.You look...lovely.”
She sighed and tugged her silky hood forward.“What is this about, Tez?”
“Dinner.It’s a meal consumed in the latter portion of the day.Come on, we have a reservation.”
She wrinkled her nose, and he took her hand, leading her into the restaurant.They were led to a seating area that was raised and overlooked the square, where the dancing would commence in a few hours.
He helped her sit on a cushion and sat next to her.
An order for drinks was placed, and she looked at him.“So, as I said before.What is this about, Tez?”
“Can’t I just meet up with one of my favourite people in the world and have a pleasant conversation?”He gave her an innocent look.
She hummed and smiled at the server, who dropped off their drinks and said they would be back later to go through the specials.
Harper sipped at her cocktail and gave him a serious look.“So you want to chat?Chat.”
He sighed.“First, I am very sorry that your engagement to him fell through.”
“I am not.I wasn’t going to share a mate with my brother.Bleah.”She shuddered.
“Who would you share a mate with?”
She smiled.“As few folks as possible.The way you are staring at my chest, you look like you know something.”
“You are a wildling.”
