“Oh, she’s a legit badass. Royalty in the underworld is absolute. So she has all the power. They divide it between six royals and they each govern their own territory but I think they can still act as the law when they visit other territories. I’ve always been a little fuzzy on their exact rules. I never figured I’d need the info since it wasn’t on my bucket list of places to visit,” she said. “Now, press your lips together.”
I did as she instructed, rubbing the light nude lipstick on my lips. “Are there any customs or things I should know before I meet her?”
She set the lipstick tube on the counter. “Luka didn’t give you anything?”
I shook my head. “I should probably be pissed, but we haven’t done a lot of talking in the last few weeks.”
“Got it. Booty calls round the clock,” she said with a laugh.
“Speaking of booty calls…” I let the words hang in the air.
“We’re not going to talk about that right now,” she said. “We all get lonely sometimes.”
“I’m not judging,” I said. “Well, I’m not judging much.”
She gave me a gentle push. “We can’t all be as lucky as you.”
“Hey, as long as he makes you happy,” I said.
“Well, he’s an asshole, but he’s a beast in the sack,” she said. “So for now, it works.”
She looked happy and I was grateful she’d found someone to keep her company. My evenings had been very busy lately between Luka and Ben. Now that the holidays were over, it was time for homework and there was also Matt. And Zach.
My life had not gone the direction I expected it to go but I was grateful. “I’m happy for you.”
“Yeah, yeah,” she said. “Now, go impress a princess.”
I smiled and admired her work in the mirror. Makayla had a gift for sure. “Thank you.”
“I want all the details when you’re done, though,” she said.
“I promise,” I said.
“I’ll be here waiting. But you’ll probably want to knock.”
I laughed. “I’ve learned knocking is very important around here.”
