Yeskin’s hands were wrapped around her, pulling her against him.
“Unless you guys mate by conjugation, you can ease up a little.”
Temal chuckled.“I think he wants to make sure you aren’t going to get away.”
“I can’t fly, and my swimming is mid, so I am pretty sure you could catch me if I ran.”
Yeskin made a growl so low she felt it in her bones.“Please run, maiden.”
She froze and looked up at both of them.“I thought you were serpents.”
They looked down at her with glowing eyes.Temal smiled.“We are.Sort of.”
Yeskin chuckled.“Sort of.It wasmaidenthat gave us away, was it?”
She focused on his broad features.“Yeah.There are a few key words that alphas use that are clues.That is a huge one.”
She felt their stillness.“We have stopped dancing.”
Temal said, “You have stopped dancing.We are just supporting your weak knees.”
She laughed and sighed.“My knees never go weak.”
Yeskin leaned down and pressed a kiss to her neck, a tumble of cool fire moving down her skin.He rumble-whispered, “How about now?”
She grinned.“Keep trying.”
His eyes flared, and he grinned.“Challenge accepted.”
She laughed as Temal lifted her and walked off the dance floor, pausing near Harper.“If Serin needs us, we will be available in the morning.”
Harper paused and laughed.“Will you be walking in the morning, Piper?”
“Yup.Ground rules are in place.I might be chafed but not split.”
Temal groaned.
Yeskin laughed.
Piper swung her legs.
Harper frowned.“Where will you be?”
Yeskin said, “We have a ship in the harbour.”
Harper sighed.“The name?”
Temal grinned.“TheDeep Dive.”
Yeskin grinned as well.
Piper rubbed a temple.“Well, there is foreshadowing.”
Harper laughed.“I need you at nine, fed and dressed.”
“You’ve got it.”Yeskin rumbled.“We will even braid her hair.”
There was laughter from a few nearby dark elves, including the man holding Harper.
