“If you’d kept sleeping, you wouldn’t be so tired,” Saint noted like he’d solved an equation.
“And our new pack member would be dead,” Neo stressed.
“I wasn’t going to kill him,” Saint reasoned which rewarded him with a stare from both Neo and me. “Okay. Maybe I was going to take him on a little trip to the Underworld and keep his soul for later, but I didn’t do it.”
I cringed at the thought, a shiver running up my spine while Neo shook his head.
“You need more self-control.”
“That’s boring,” Saint whined. “Besides, it’s hard to be in control when Willow’s so fucking hot. I swear, I love this pixie cut of hers and well, the rest of her body, her intellectual mind, her beautiful aura, and her cynical side.”
He was smiling like a little boy who’d gotten everything he wanted on his Christmas list.
“See? She wasn’t even frightened about my demon. I’m calling him Blacky.”
“Please don’t,” Neo groaned. “We don’t need the world to end early, thanks.”
“Dark Lords are scary,” I concluded. “I’ve read of you in scriptures, but you don’t fit the usual description.”
“Oh,” Saint began and smiled as he walked from the other side of the bed to join us where we stood, “the ancient scriptures love to portray us as large creatures of the night with black, oozing flesh and sinister smiles. You know, the typical look of a demon. Throw in some horns and a crown to emphasize the ‘Lord’ part. Obviously not the ‘Lord’ that the Christian humans worship, but some like to portray us with the thorn crowns. Adds to the aesthetic.”
“Right,” I answered while staring at him. How innocent and happy he looked now when he wanted to kill me minutes ago. “So do you plan on killing me again?”
“It depends,” Saint concluded with a shrug. “Are you gonna watch me enjoy my woman next time or do you plan on joining in?”
I was blushing again, while Neo smirked. “Fae don’t like interrupting couples when they’re fucking. They do, however, enjoy watching. It’s a fascination of theirs. Isn’t it?”
I couldn’t feel more embarrassed, but that was a thing about fae. We appreciated sex like it was an art, and no way would we pull away when the obvious display of lust was occurring before our eyes. It was why we got so turned on when it came to watching porn, but watching was nothing in comparison to doing the deed.
Fuck. A threesome…what about a foursome? Shit. I can’t think about this right now.
“We think of it as a form of art. I’m sure that sounds weird, but I didn’t think things would have gone that way when I came to check on the princess, so…”
“Princess, huh?” Saint had a taunting grin on his lips. “Already smitten. Man, how much do I have to bet that Onyx is going to kill him?”
“Onyx has more control than you,” Neo noted.
“Says the guy who went on a killing spree back at the studio,” Saint sighed but was now looking my way. “Where are you going?”
“Huh?” Now I was confused.
“Stay,” Neo repeated the single word Willa stated. “Willa wouldn’t have stated that unless there was a meaning for it.”
“Exactly,” Saint added and gave me his full attention as he crossed his arms over his chest. “So, where are you going?”
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to reply. My eyes briefly looked over at Willow. I’d made my mind up to leave once everyone was safe and sound, but now I was hesitating.
Why am I hesitating? I just met this group. I should be able to ditch them without a second thought.
“I was going to return to the fae lands,” I confessed. “Obviously, I still have my duty to fulfill. It’s not like I was going to leave abruptly without saying anything…but I didn’t want to be more of a hassle to your pack by staying.”
They were quiet for a few moments as if absorbing my words like they really meant something. Interacting with them was far different from the people I usually engaged with. In my life, the shifters I’d dealt with either screamed in my face or had no time for small talk. Those shifters spoke with their fists, and the situation determined if I was being beaten like a chained animal or ganged up on in a dark corner of the hood.
I should go home…but what would be waiting for me?
With me missing for ten months, I was sure my family would be worried enough to try to reach out to me, especially without a barrier of interference.
The only problem was, I couldn’t determine if going back was the right move.
