I should’ve known that.
As far as Remmo was concerned, Teris had already hurt me a lot, over a long period of time. Not physically, but emotional pain sucked a lot too.
And given that he felt like I was his to protect, it would be difficult for him to fight those instincts if he saw me facing off against Teris.
“Alright, fine,” I said with a sigh. “You’ll owe me, though.”
“I’ll pay in orgasms, tonight,”the basilisk murmured into my mind, flashing me a wicked grin.
I couldn’t help but mirror the expression.
“I feel like he just told you something dirty through your bond,” Dakota said, tapping her temple.
“I’ll admit to nothing,” Remmo said smoothly, as he slid his hand down to my lower back and began leading me away.
“They call him the ghost for a reason,” I called back to Dots.
She just laughed and called out, “I’m happy for you!”
I waved over my shoulder at her, but honestly…
I was happy for me too.
My happinessfor myself vanished when Remmo walked me right into the middle of a massive group of fae.
“Why are you doing this to me?”I groaned into his mind.
He chuckled silently.“You wanted me to train you, and I’m not doing it half-assedly. If you want me to let you walk into a fight where actual injuries are being dealt, you have to face your demons.”
“Teris isn’t a demon. Just a dick.”
“Better to start with dicks than demons.”
I sighed heavily.“You and I are not friends anymore.”
“I’ll change your mind later,”he said, and when I looked up at him, the bastard winked at me.
We stopped at the inner-edge of the group, just before a wide, empty circle in the center of the gathered men who were all talking and growling excitedly. There was practically energy coming off of them.
Hopefully they were excited to watch me punch Teris, not to see me get my ass handed to me.
And not to see Remmo rip Teris’s head off.
I shuddered at the thought.
“No heads are getting ripped off. See the men over there?”He gestured toward the guys just behind us, and I recognized Korrik. He was one of the generals, so the others next to him had to be generals too.“They’ll make sure I don’t kill Teris unless he physically hurts you.”
“So he’s not allowed to punch back?”I asked.
“No. He’ll just take your punches, so you know what it feels like when your fist collides with skin.”
“Probably a good call,”I said glumly.
Remmo’s hand landed on my side, and he turned me toward him. My chest met his as he tilted my head back and kissed me, hot and deep.
He caught me off guard with it—but I sure as hell kissed him back. Cheering erupted in the crowd around us, and it occurred to me that we were the first successful unseelie couple.
There were three seelie ones… but the seelies were wild. They were messy.
