“One can never fault discretion,” Elvey said.
I gazed up at Elvey through my lashes. He always knew what I wanted. I’d love it here a hundred times more than meeting the light Fae King in his court.
“If you keep looking at my brother like that,” Finrod reminded, “we might not be able to continue the conversation.”
My face flamed, and I gave him a hard stare. “It’s not your business how I look at my mate, Finrod!”
He laughed, and a proud, self-indulgent smile tugged at the corner of Elvey’s lips.
“My mate is half-dragon,” Elvey said. “She breathes the hottest fire. Be careful, cousin. Try not to provoke her.”
Finrod chortled. “I’m surprised you’re still in one piece, considering the not-provoking part you mentioned. You always had a talent for riling up anyone to your best ability, even when you were a brat.” His expression darkened the next second as grief filled his blue eyes. “I’m sorry, cousin, that I couldn’t get to you. I tried everything to find a way to free you from your blood bond to that bitch and failed.”
Elvey laid his hand on Finrod’s shoulder. “You did all you could. Don’t let guilt eat you up. You’re a king. You have enough burdens to carry. I’m free now. My beloved set me free.”
King Finrod found my hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed my knuckles in gratitude.
“Thank you, Daisy,” he said. “I owe you a debt.”
“That’s enough, Finrod,” Elvey said. “You don’t linger a kiss on my mate’s lovely hand.”
Finrod let go of me, shook his head, and laughed.
Elvey hadn’t been jealous with my former three mates, but he would defend my honor against any other males. That was interesting to know. I wondered why.
The wind blew by cozily, the ocean wave made lovers’ sounds, and the sunlight baked on our faces.
Our mood was both light and heavy.
Three elite guards brought out our drinks and exquisite refreshments.
I took a sip of the coffee, and my eyes almost rolled to the back of my head as my taste buds exploded. I trained my eyes on Elvey. It felt like the Fae coffee could give you a minor orgasm, but I wouldn’t tell Elvey while the king of the light Fae sat across from us and watched.
“I know,” Elvey said, light laughter and mischief dancing in his eyes.
Finrod let out a belly laugh.
“Welcome to The Flowing Isle, Queen Daisy,” he said. “And my home is yours—”
“This is my home as well, as it’s my mate’s.” Elvey said. “I actually own quite a few luxury properties and some businesses here. I’m not as rich as Finrod, but I’m rich enough. And I hope he’s keeping my mansions dust free and my interests rolling. When the war is over, I’ll return to collect. Daisy and I will come here for vacation whenever she wants.”
Finrod rolled his eyes. “I haven’t finished my grand speech.”
“Shove it, then,” Elvey said. “You know we can’t linger here longer to listen to your long-winded, fancy monologue. Get to the point, Finrod.”
“Always the joy killer,” Finrod said, turning to me. “To answer your former question about the war against the usurper Tianna, we fought against her army before and suffered terrible casualties. We couldn’t get past her dark magic. I think the rumors that she can’t be killed are true.”
“She can be killed,” I said. “I’m working on it, and I’ll end her.”
Finrod stared at me for a long moment before glancing at Elvey. “Is the prophecy true then?”
“It is,” Elvey said. “My beloved has returned, and she has the White Magic.”
“Can I see it?” Finrod asked quietly.
I let my magic roll, and a ring of White Light twirled around us with blue fire chasing it. The blue fire was my new touch, which I impulsively borrowed from Elvey through our mating bond. He wouldn’t object to it. Hadn’t he said that whatever was his was mine?
“Nice,” he said, his hand squeezing my thigh teasingly.
