“If a shark stops moving, he sinks to the deep.”

He laughed. “Right to the hilt.”

She turned her head, and they kissed, and she yawned again. “I am still putting in a bid for Nalu. Heck, even Keahi’s fire getting blown up my whatsit. That will be good as well.”

He chuckled and kissed her neck. “I will see what I can do.”

She nodded and patted the side of his head before she gave in to exhaustion. She felt him in her mind next to the other links and knew he could feel the affection and humour in her thoughts.

She felt a cool drip on her nose and felt the bubbly joy. She opened her eyes. “Hey, Nalu.”

“I heard you needed some cooling down.” He kissed her softly.

“What time is it?”

“Oh, dinner is in an hour and a bit.”

She chuckled, “Just enough time then.”

He moved over her. “It’s only fair. He was encroaching on my time.”

She laughed, and a few minutes later, she was cool and hot at the same time.

Cleaned up and dressed, they headed downstairs where the royal family, the babies, Amelia, Henry and Keoki, Tor, and a pouting Armin were all seated with Mano and Keahi sitting next to empty chairs meant that they were what everyone was waiting for.

Elly blushed. “Sorry for delay. Apparently, there was a mystery smudge somewhere on me that he was determined to find.”

Nalu sighed. “Still haven’t found it, but I justknowit’s there.” He held her chair for her. “I am willing to keep searching.”

Keahi and Mano laughed. Their emotions swirled through her. Their little group was seriously giddy at being complete.

Halfway through the dinner, Elly had to ask. “Armin, what the hell happened to you? You have lost all... your sleaze.”

Amelia started snickering, but surprisingly, it was Tor who answered. “He was hitting on that friend of yours with pale skin and dark red hair.”

Elly’s eyes widened. “Bex? He hit on Bex. Oh, okay.” She tried not to laugh.

Tor sighed. “She declined, and he grabbed her, so she kissed him, and he came and dropped to the floor.”

Keahi frowned, “He...”

Elly held up her hand. “Yeah. She’s a succubus. She drains male energy but lets them cum, and they recover. In about two weeks.”

Nalu blinked. “Oh. Cool.”

“But she only does that to men with free hearts.” Elly chuckled. “They are the only ones she can digest. It is funny. She has volunteers to provide her with energy, so she was full when she arrived. You must have really been obnoxious and grabbed more than her waist.”

Armin growled but slumped. “I grabbed her ass. Possibly a bit more.” He stabbed some of the roast vegetables on his plate. “The pleasure was... astonishing.”

Tor snorted. “That was the expression on your face.”

Armin looked at Amelia. “Do you think I could get her number?”

Amelia chuckled. “She told me that satyr tasted bad. Like, hunger with petulance thrown in.”

He blinked. “What?”

“Yeah, she tastes your soul when she takes your energy. You tasted bad.” Amelia chuckled. “She did say you were filling though. A lot of lust to consume. So, that’s something.”
