“Thank you.”
“Of course.”
But thank you for confirming that Gavan is also after your father’s empire.

“You’re not bringing anyone tonight?”
I’m in the research library at work—a gorgeous, glass-walled room with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves full of legal texts. I’ve been pouring over case studies until my eyes blur, but I push the work in front of me aside when Fumi enters.
“What?”
“To the gala. You’re not bringing anyone?”
“Says who?”
She smirks, holding up the tablet in her hand. “Says the RSVP list.”
“Oh.” I shrug. “Nah. I was going to bring Nora, but she made plans with her friends instead and ditched me.”
“Brutal.”
I snicker. “I’ll live. Are you bringing anyone?”
Fumi makes a very dry, verySimpsons-inspired “ha-ha” sound.
“I thought you were giving apps a try?”
“Oh, I was, for about thirty seconds. But as it turns out, men are awful. Breaking news, I know.”
I make a face. “That bad?”
“The number of wieners I’ve been shown without asking to see them is a legitimately terrifying commentary on the state of the world. Like, who does that? Hi, what do you do for work? What do you like to eat? Anyway, here’s a photo of my not-very-impressive worm of a dick. Can we fuck now?”
I snort out a laugh as she shakes her head in despair.
“Elsa, it’s brutal out there, I’m telling you. I mean, I could kind of wrap my head around it if you had anice-looking dick, right? I mean if you’ve got a supermodel cock? I mean, sure, probably still ask first. But if it’s that nice? Yeah, maybe I’m down to take a peek, you know?”
I’m cracking up. First, because Fumi is fucking hilarious. And second, because laughing covers the sudden redness suffusing my face, since I’m now thinking very hard about the dick pictures Hades sent me the other day.
“But holy shit. Please spare me those badly-lit, blurry shots of your micro-dicks. And why the fuck is therealwaysa toilet in the background? I mean if I’m taking pictures of my pussy, that shit is going to be glamour city, not taken in some fucking toilet. Like, have a little respect for your privates, right?”
I almost fall out of my chair laughing.
“Looks like your boyfriend is coming tonight…”
That knocks the laughter right out of me. I stiffen and stare at her.
“Excuse me?”
Fumi grins and sings his name at me. “Hades Drakos.”
I sputter, quickly shaking my head. “He’snotmy boyfriend.”
“Well, he’s clearlysomething.”
