“Yes, yes. I will have new robes delivered for everyone. You can get them at Volik’s house… tomorrow. Or the next day. By the end of the week. Probably.”
Rune doesn’t say anything to this news, so I turn to see what she’s doing.
She’s staring at me.
At my body. My chest.
Hers is rising and falling. And through her clothing, I can see the outline of her nipples as they harden.
I breathe deeply.
Chocolate.
My girl is turned on. From the sight of me.
Haruto cackles again. “Everyone approves.”
Chapter 85
Rune
“Before I let Dread know we’re ready, I think I need to call my parents.”
“Okay.” Vameer faces me as we stand in the empty parking lot of the magic clothes warehouse.
I keep my gaze down, on his bare feet.
“It’s just that when we go… see May, I’m pretty sure our images are going to hit the news feed like right away.”
“Sí, and you don’t want them finding out that way.”
“Right.” I twist the sole of my sandal on the blacktop.
“Rune?”
“Yeah?”
“What is wrong?”
“Nothing.” My voice goes up an octave.
“Mate.” He lifts his large hand and presses his finger under my chin. “Do not lie to me.”
I let him tip my head back, but I shut my eyes.
“Rune.” There’s a hint of a growl in his voice. Not enough to force me to comply, but a warning.
“Fine!” I open my eyes wide. “I’ll look at you, okay? At your big sexy body all wrapped up in this…” I wave my hands around. “Bloody-red deliciousness.”
Seriously, my mouth starts to water just looking at him.
The shirt and pants are tailored to perfection, showing off his massive, cut body. And the top buttons opened… Gods, I want to take a nap on his pecs.
I have taken a nap on his pecs.
And the robe over it…
It shouldn’t be sexy.
