“Star started this little get-together for her ex-soldier buddies. It’s a poker game and I whooped soldier ass,” Savannah explained.
“Lies,” I retorted.
“Why the hell were you there if it was for soldiers she served with?” Aela demanded.
“Because Star plays poker like a card shark—”
“And you don’t?” I retorted.
“Exactly. It’s not often I get to cut my teeth on a game with you.”
“Who won?”
Savannah pouted at Camille. “She did, but I beat everyone else. Eoghan included.”
I didn’t bother bragging. “I’ll teach you all I know, young grasshopper.”
Savannah flipped me the bird. “You’re kindness incarnate.”
“I know. It’s a weakness, really.”
Aoife chuckled. “You two are more like sisters than you know.”
“Oh, we know it,” Savannah retorted. “No one else would put up with her ass if we weren’t related.”
“I feel this,” Inessa teased, elbowing Camille in the side.
“Shut up, brat,” was the older sister’s response.
“Mostly, after that poker game, I’m just left reeling from how hot everyone is there. If I didn’t have Aidan…” Savannah whistled. “I’m not sure who I’d have hit on.”
“Let’s see, the Consigliere’s bodyguard, an assassin, a sniper, your sister, or your brother-in-law,” I mocked, grabbing a red-velvet cupcake with buttercream and eating it in one bite.
Seriously, how small did they make this shit?
“He wouldn’t be my brother-in-law if I wasn’t with Aidan, now would he?”
“Hey, he’s mine!” Inessa groused.
“And you’re not a skank who steals other women’s men,” Aela pointed out.
Savannah pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. “That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me, Aela.”
“You should invite Dagda next time.”
My head whipped around so fast it probably would have recorded as speeding on a radar. “What?!”
Aoife was unapologetic in her madness. “He’s probably as fucked up as the rest of you. Savannah included.”
“Hey! I resent that.”
“You were the one who admitted you and Aidan had sex after he hanged those traitors,” Aoife said calmly.
I peered at my sister. “Under their swinging bodies?”
“No! Back at home, thank you very much.”
While Aoife’s nose crinkled, I shrugged. “You have to celebrate wins when and where you can.”
