“Anything for you,” said Dahvi, flashing his gorgeoussmile.
Awww.I loved how adorable he was. Out of all my genies, he was the most considerate and the sweetest. I didn’t know what I would have done without him by myside.
“Enough of that, Brother,” said Zand, kicking Dahvi’s behind playfully and pushing himforward.
I loved this fresh, new side to Zand. His stiff broodiness got a bitboring.
I laughed and smacked him on the ass. “Don’t getjealous.”
Zand offered me an urgent kiss before moving on. “I’m not. I just don’t want him getting all theattention.”
I touched my lips, which were tingling from the impact of both their kisses, and smiled. Gods, they were sexy. Once my brother was safe and the vizier dead, I fantasized about bringing each of them back here for some alone time. Separately, of course. I imagined each of them, fucking me all day until my pussy stung from too much sex. I pictured myself screaming as loudly as I wanted, with no one to hear me. Heat pooled between my thighs, but I pushed those thoughts aside to concentrate on Ali and Kaza’srescue.
Our footsteps crunched on the ground as we made our way deeper into the tunnels. Silence suffocated us, as if the genies had descended into dark thoughts of their own. Based on the stiffness in Zand’s expression, I assumed he’d prepared an attack of his own on the vizier. The deep lines in Dahvi’s forehead told me he worried for his brother’ssafety.
More than anything, I wished someone would say something because my mind, too, kept drifting to endless possibilities that could go wrong. I blamed it on us not having a backup plan in case of an emergency. Winging it was at odds with the planner inme.
“So, what are we going to do with the vizier?” I broke the silence as I stepped over a tree root jutting out of the ground. “Kill him? Imprison him in a land far away? Stuff him in thelamp?”
“I vote for the first option,” said Dahvi. The lightheartedness he’d shown earlier had all butdisappeared.
“Careful, Brother,” warned Zand. “You know therules.”
Oh, Zand…Such a stickler for genie law. We’d only reserved that plan if the vizier killedanyone.
An unexpected tremor rocked the passage, and we all crashed into the wall. The shuddering vibrated all the way up my legs. A deep groan echoed down the tunnel beneath the palace. It sounded like the whole place was about to collapse or something. It was almost as if the vizier had ears in the tunnel, heard our plan, and decided to attack first, to kill us before we could reachhim.
A lump sprang up in my throat. I spun around, squinting into the darkness at the edge of Dahvi’sflame.
“What was that?” Iasked.
Zand tilted his head, as if listening. “The djinn who sealed the tunnels ishere.”
I glanced at Dahvi, but he, too, was focused, as if a voice from another world called tohim.
“The vizier is a sorcerer of old,” Zand repeated, as if passing on the story. “His dark magic trapped her in the city’s walls for three hundredyears.”
That bastard! How many other creatures had he abused for the sake of accumulating his power? My stomach prickled with remorse for the poor djinn. I couldn’t imagine being bound to the city for severallifetimes.
Dahvi spoke up. “Our sister requests our help in gettingfree.”
Geez. The quaking sure was a funny way of asking forhelp.
Fissures snaked across the ground as another quake rumbled. This one was much stronger, and I almost lost mybalance.
Zand grabbed me protectively, pulling me up against him, steadyingme.
My fingers dug into hiswaist.
“She doesn’t agree with us taking a human as a mate,” advisedZand.
My chest thrummed at the mention of the word mate, pumping a delicious, electric charge through me. Until now, I’d never been anyone’s mate. Hadn’t been looking, to be honest. Beyond my own basic needs, my brother’s health and survival was my first priority. Everything had changed the second I had met the genies. Having three mates made me the luckiest girl inHaven.
I pushed aside those thoughts for the moment. For now, I just wanted to focus on one thing at a time. Prime objective number one: save my brother and Kaza, and in the process, don’t gain any new enemies, like a crankydjinn.
“Brother, look.” Dahvi pointed to the tree roots on thewall.
A black mass crawled over them, burning the fibers and turning them to ash. Dark veins stretched through the bricks. Sand on the ground blackened as ifburned.
