Faye imagined him tying her down and Rune purring against her when she couldn’t get away. It was too much. Too intense. “I like it better when I’m in control.”

Sparrow grinned unhindered. “You step on his neck or spank him?”

Faye’s mouth fell open and she could only stare.

“No? Too far?” Sparrow asked. Her shoulders slumped. “Don’t tell me you just tie him up and kiss him.”

Faye looked down at her plate and muttered, “It’s private.”

“Fine,” Sparrow grumbled.

Faye changed the subject to Aunty Clara’s house and how Rune was going to help her take care of the village.

Sparrow blinked at her. “He does all that and you’re not fucking him. Teach me your ways.”

“He’s making an effort so I’m trying to be understanding of the court stuff. It’s like they live in a different world.”

Sparrow waved her hand, gesturing at their surroundings. “Do you not see this shit? This is another world, with delicious food and top shelf liquor.”

“How are my best girls?”

Faye turned toward Vashien’s voice. He stepped into the den and Faye glimpsed a dark suit and white-blonde hair gliding silently behind him. The sight of him made Faye’s heart beat a little harder. She smiled when Vashien noticed Rune pulling his wings in tight.

Sparrow shot a glance between her and Rune. “Darkness, look at this bitch lighting up and shit.”

Vashien inclined his head at Rune. “Shadow Prince.”

Rune offered him the same respect, saying, “Rune is adequate. There is no need for titles among our courts.”

Sparrow nodded at Vashien as he took his seat next to her. “I call him Runey.”

Faye leaned closer as Rune took his seat beside her.

“Do you eat? Or should we order blood?” Faye asked, touching his thigh. Her nails lightly scratching over the dark material.

Rune brushed her hair behind her shoulder, caressing the side of her neck with the backs of his fingers with the motion. “Crimson wine.”

Sparrow touched the talisman ordering their dinner, finishing with, “And a glass of crimson wine for the great Shadow Prince.”

The corner of Rune’s mouth lifted. He took Faye’s hand, pressing his lips to the back of it.

Her sister narrowed her eyes at Vashien. Poor guy was so rigid, his wings tucked in close to his body. It would take time for him to get use to Rune. He didn’t share Sparrow’s ability to embrace every situation with little regard for the outcome.

Sparrow poked his wing and said, “You could stand to be more romantic.”

Vashien turned toward Sparrow, some of the tension leaving his body. “I am literally in Hell for you woman. What else do you want?”

Sparrow propped her head up on her hand and said, “Runey lets Faye tie him up because he’s not achicken.”

Faye’s face heated. She widened her eyes at Sparrow and kicked her under the table.

“Ow! That was hard bitch.” Sparrow rubbed her shin.

“The Sha— Rune trusts her,” Vashien said, pouring himself a stout glass of whiskey and lifting it to his lips.

Sparrow sulked at Vashien, her shoulders slumping. “You don’t trust me?”

“In the bedroom, fuck no.”
