Chapter 18

Bee closedthe guys and me in her bedroom as she went to greet her dad and keep him occupied. Dagen stood at the window, staring down into the yard through the curtains, while Nero lounged on the double bed, creasing flowered sheets. The walls were littered with glittery dried flowers, and Oryn flipped open the wardrobe, revealing every color under the rainbow. Damn, I so needed to update my clothessoon.

Still in my towel, I figured Bee wouldn’t mind me borrowing anoutfit.

Oryn pulled out a long, red dress with no sleeves and a low V-neck. “This would be perfect onyou.”

I shook my head. “I’m not really a skirt kind ofgirl.”

Nero scrambled off the bed, sitting on the edge. “They suit you. Plus, remember you promised me a show in askirt.”

Oryn pressed the garment into my arms and considering every other outfit in Bee’s collection was a dress, I figured this was a losing battle. I removed my towel, and even Dagen reclined against the windowsill, his arms folded across his chest as his gaze dipped down mybody.

Enjoying theshow?

He smirked and turned around to lookoutside.

I pulled the gown over my head and tugged it down over my body. It was a smidgen loose, but then again, Bee was a lot bustier than me. Still, the V-neck sat low enough to show offcleavage.

“Now that’s sexy,” Nero said, pawing at my dress, flattening it down my legs, and squeezing my ass. “And allours.”

Oryn prodded in the drawers of the chest cabinet and brought out a pair of pinkpanties.

“Put those away.” I rushed closer and shoved them backinside.

“Yeah, why would you want her to wear any undies?” Neroprotested.

I offered Nero a glare and my body heated up from how every conversation with them always returned to sex. Not that I was complaining, but right now wasn’t the time or place to offer myself to them. As much as my libido clenched mycore.

“Oh, now we’re talking.” Nero passed Oryn and plucked out a dildo, thick and made of something rubbery. “I’m loving the way your friendthinks.”

The door opened, and my heart sank. I rammed the pleasure stick back into the drawer and knocked it shut with a hip as Bee strolled inside, carrying an armful ofclothes.

She closed us in and froze as she stared at one of us and then another. “What? You all look suspicious as shit, youknow.”

“Well,we—”

I nudged Nero to shut up and said, “I… I went through your wardrobe and borrowed a dress. Hope you don’tmind?”

“Of course, babe. You can borrow anything.” She dropped the bundle of outfits on the bed. “Dad’s already gone back to the markets as he just forgot somewhere, so I brought youthese.”

“Anything?” Nero crashed onto the mattress, cocking an eye myway.

Ignoring him, along with the dozen images of what he could do with such a dildo, I approached Bee. “What arethese?”

“As much as I love staring at the guys’ junk, they need to put on something to fit in at Terra. Help yourself. They’re Dad’s, but he won’t notice, as he hasn’t worn these inyears.”

The guys sorted through the outfits, and I followed Bee to the window. “Scarlet,” she began. “While you were gone, the priestess messed up your store. She’s afteryou.”

I stood there, frozen, unable to move. “Is Santosokay?”

She nodded. “Yeah, I got him to live with us here so he feels safe. He’s at the markets now, selling tea to make coins to help repair thestore.”

My heart bled. “He’s an incredible kid. In case I don’t see him today, tell him I’m fine.” How bad had my shop been destroyed? And if the priestess was searching for me, what future did I have in Terra? What about everything Grandma had worked so hard tobuild?

“What are you going to do?” Bee squeezed myarm.

I couldn’t respond to the reality of how shitty my situation had become. She took me into her arms and hugged me. “You can stay here as long as you need. A guard come searching for you a few days ago, and after he inspected the house, he apologized for the intrusion and left. So I doubt they would comeback.”
