It wasn’t until we were outside that I understood how much I’d changed over the course of the last few weeks. I wasn’t the type who normally goaded someone else. I usually held my distance and observed. However, Molev hadn’t just forced me to stop retreating from him. I wasn’t retreating from anyone now.

Realizing that scared me in a way and comforted me in another. I’d learned early on to hold myself back. Getting close meant getting hurt. Yet, I couldn’t return to the person I’d been. Especially not now with everything I faced. I would rather be hurt than spend my last days alone.

I jogged beside Roni, feeling the ache in my legs slowly ease as the exercise warmed them.

“What is the point of this?” Roni asked angrily. “If you’re not going to fuck me, then let someone else.”

I glanced back and saw Brog trailing us. I hadn’t even heard him.

“He’s clam-jamming me,” Roni said with an angry scowl. “Every fey I’ve asked to eat me until I see stars says no. Because Brog just stands there behind me like some lost boy shadow and stares at them.”

“Have you tried masturbating? Loudly?” I asked.

She gave me a disgusted look. “Of course I did. My kitty cat’s been on every pillow in his house.”

“No sleepovers at Roni’s. Got it,” I said.

“We know they have a heightened sense of smell. I wanted him dreaming of me…if he manages to sleep.”

I sighed and shook my head.

“What’s Molev’s favorite food?” I asked her.

She gave me a confused glance before answering, “Spam. Although I did see the way he ate those hot dogs. I’d love to see him devour a footlong.” She grinned.

“What’s his favorite drink?”

“Water. He’s lame like that.”

“How much sleep does he need?”

“Five hours to be fully recharged but he can go thirty-six hours with a thirty-minute nap and be just fine.”

“Tell me something about him that you think I don’t know,” I said.

She glanced at me curiously. “His favorite color is green. He’d stop and just look at the sky sometimes when it was completely cloudless. Always when it was cloudless. So I thought he was doing it because he liked the color and asked. He said he liked looking at the sky because it was so vast, but his favorite color was green.”

“Do you regret getting to know Molev so well that you were willing to follow him here?”

She started to frown.

“No. Of course not.” Her frown turned into outright anger. “Well, maybe. I could have gotten laid if I’d stayed in Irwin.”

“You know that’s a lie. You’d probably be dead if you were there.”

“Fine. Whatever. I get your point, and you’re annoying. Are you warmed up enough for me to take it out on you?”

“Not even close, but I’m betting Brog is. Have you tried your non-sex moves on him yet?”

CHAPTERNINETEEN

Roni stopped runningand looked at me.

“I heard they have their own training grounds here,” I said. “I wandered around a bit and didn’t find it yet.”

“I will take you there,” Brog said from behind us.

Roni stared at his ass the entire time he led the way. Their training setup was interesting. They had a weird mountain of melted plastic dicks at one end. A stuffed dummy hung from a post off to one side. And a huge circle of packed dirt waited to the other side. For spectators, a few stumps waited by each area.
