Lets Micah start losing some of that quiet control.
Then Ronan says, “Time.”
I pull off.
Micah breathes hard.
I lick my lips.
Then look at Ronan. “Petition.”
His gaze sharpens. “You may petition the DM for a reward.”
I smile. “I want you in the game.”
Nobody moves.
Ronan is still.
Completely still.
My pulse pounds.
I don't know whether I've pushed too far.
Then his mouth curves. “Petition noted.”
I stare. “Not granted?”
“Not currently.”
“You absolute tease.”
“You may return to your seat.”
I climb up.
Micah catches my hand and squeezes.
Cami is watching Ronan now.

Ronan looks at her. “Petition.”
She glances at Griffin.
