“Well, you can ask her when she gets here.”
The server came over, startled to see the two other alphas, but she smiled and took their order.
Tez was grumpy.“I thought we would have some time to ourselves.”
“You invited my ex and my brother here.Privacy is off the table for you.”
Temal asked, “You don’t get along with your sibling?”
“My ex and my brother are happily involved in an alpha-omega relationship.They wanted me to join as a beta.I chose what little dignity my markings will allow.There isn’t much.”
Tez froze.“What?”
“Oh, yeah, Devin wanted me to curl up with, and once we had consummated the wedding night, he wanted to invite Skyler in.After I stopped gagging at the idea of sharing my bed with my brother, I broke things off and left town.”
Yeskin frowned.“That is against all protocols.”
“I am aware.Now, change of subject, how was the run?”She smiled at the alphas.
They talked while the food arrived, and Tez seemed to be grappling with the casual depravity that his friends had exhibited.
She was finishing her scallops when she heard Piper arrive.There was an indrawn breath, a slow shudder, and it moved through the alpha population.
The two dark elves slowly turned and did the same thing.
Piper had arrived.Every movement was a dance that promised a slow caress of her skin against theirs.The funny thing was that it was just the way Piper moved.
Harper asked Tez, “Is there room at the table for Piper?”
He nodded slowly.
Piper glided to the hostess, and the woman nodded at whatever Piper said and led her up to the seating area.
Harper grinned.“Stunning outfit.”
“Thanks.It is super comfortable.”She turned to show her bare back, the fabric that covered her breasts and was attached by chains to a belt that held large, fluttering panels of fabric in place.Scarves that acted in place of sleeves completed the outfit.
Harper grinned as the men were still dazed.“Piper, this is Tez.He and I grew up together.This is Temal and Yeskin.They are more your speed.”
“Ah, but do they have a UV flashlight?”
Yeskin murmured, “I have seen what writhes on your back, and I am interested in discussing it with you, at length.”
Piper grinned at him.“Flirt.”
Temal was astonished.Harper grinned.“Told yah.”
Yeskin held his hand out to Piper, and his lap became her seat, just like that.
Harper grinned.“How long have you been on Wonder, Pipes?”
“Twenty minutes.Look, I put my cuffy thing on.”She held up her cuff, black and covered with filigree in icy silver.
Yeskin slid his hand down her arm, and their cuffs touched.A white band snapped around the base of her cuff.Yeskin smiled.“That is fascinating, and you are an expensive lady.”
She chuckled.“I know.”
Temal reached out, and the lightest touch caused another band to flare.A mark under it made Piper laugh.“I think the bartender has cut me off, Harp.”
