“She doesn’t even know you, yet,” Elias added.

“Yes, but she will and the last time I checked, you owe me five more favors, Marcus, and you four, Elias,” he reminded, a pleasurable smile formed on his lips as his amber eyes glowed slightly.

They both groaned, sitting back down in their seats in a huff.

“Fuck you, Kai. It’s times like this I wish you were in Heila still,” Elias mumbled.

“I know right. Stupid favors. What possessed us to promise him favors?” Marcus questioned to Elias, ignoring our presence completely.

One thing we learned in our youth – every favor would have to be returned when it came to Kai. To bad we’d collected plenty; enough to let him get whatever he wanted when the opportunity arrived amongst us. He wants first dibs on something, he’d most certainly get it.

Kai turned my way, raising an eyebrow at me. I lifted my hands in surrender.

“I wasn’t even going to fight for it. Don’t need to remind me of the ten favors I owe you,” I admitted.

He smiled wickedly, pleased with the outcome.

“Then it’s settled.”

“How about Ryder?” I asked. There was a moment of silence.

“Fine, he gets first dibs, but I get seconds. Not for the fact, he doesn’t owe me, but Stryker would kick my ass and I hate dark flames. They’re hotter than my phoenix fire. No one got time for that.” He gestured; his hand rubbed his bare arms, the orange, short sleeve shirt he wore, unable to hide the multiple goosebumps forming.

“If your bad ass self is afraid, imagine us. Nope, not dealing with it. I think Azriel only messes with Stryker because our gifts counter each other. We can’t really win or lose. But the moment he brings in dark flames, I’m out,” I revealed, shaking my head at the thought.

No one in their right mind would be stupid enough to challenge someone with enough dark magic to summon those deadly flames.

It took Ryder cycles to summon them, let alone use them as a weapon. They only truly came to his aid without any struggle when he was fucking pissed.

“But seriously...Mako’s gonna look fucking hot in a bathing suit,” Marcus mused, quietly.

“Get her a nice swim suit from one of those expensive stores,” Kai urged.

“Get her a pink bikini,” Elias ordered, staring directly at the dragon.

We took a moment to ponder it, more than one of us imagined her curvy body sporting the two-piece.

“Neon pink or a tropical type one. It just has to have pink in it. Just not that shitty, ugly pink. The neon pink looks way better on her,” I admitted. My hand rose to stroke my chin as I wondered what else was needed.

“Get her a nice pair of pink sandals, too. With diamonds in the middle,” Kai requested.

“Real diamonds?” I asked.

“Do they even add real diamonds to sandals?” Elias inquired.

“Shit, I don’t know. Doesn’t that Victoria store all the girls talk about have it?” Marcus questioned, confused.

“How should I know, you go to Earthala more than me,” Kai acknowledged.

“Fuck. Elias. Tell Eli she’s coming with me. I doubt Scarlet will have free time and I’m not fucking this up,” Marcus ordered.

An idea entered my mind, a smile formed on my lips as I looked at the others. They all turned to me, noticing my change in mood.

“What?” They all said in unison.

“I have the perfect idea of what to get her. But knowing Mako, we have to make sure it’s water proof and pink,” I whispered.

With this, she’d always be connected to us.
