He smiles, and one totally inappropriate thought passes through my head. “No honey either.”
“Tell us, Seith, how do you sweeten things around here?” Fleur asks.
Lenox interrupts. “The trunks. Where do you want them?”
Seith gets the hint and hops back downstairs. I expect him to head for the door but he moves to stand behind the couch so that I have to crane my head back all the way. He bends and pecks my lips.
“I’ll be right back, honey.”
Then he disappears from view, and the door closes behind the males.
I’m so hot that I’m certain my entire body is a giant red pepper, so I take a moment to sit up properly, near Gloriana, who is watching me the way one watches a mating of three instead of two light bugs. Seeing a light bug threesome is said to bring good fortune.
Fleur expels a breath. “He’s hot.”
Gloriana appears worried. “Is he nice to you, Marybell?”
“He’s a jerk.”
Gloriana’s lips tug upward. “You like him.”
“I do not.”
“Fleur?” She looks to the princess for confirmation.
“That’s not fair,” I protest. “No magic.”
Flour nods. “She likes him. To be fair, he’s hot. Major hot. If he weren’t into you, girlfriend, I’d bag him and take him home with me.”
The fae princess just called me her girlfriend. I don’t think she realizes what she said or that it makes me feel like one of the girls. I’ve never been one of the girls. Or one of anything besides a lady-in-waiting.
“Oh, hold on,” Fleur adds. Her magic flares briefly.
Almost instantly, Lenox and Seith walk in carrying a massive golden trunk with black trim.
“Where do you want it?” Seith asks.
“Over by the window.” The princess is gifting me nesting supplies as is customary in the Summer Court. Males and females gather at the start of summer and stay in the palace for the duration of the season so they can mingle and breed. The royals of the court send nesting supplies and other gifts all summer long. I’m getting a trunk full of items I bet are the finest in the lands.
Milady…Gloriana and I spent the first part of this summer in the court just before we ended up in Lycana. and while I didn’t nest or couple with the fae, I had a pretty good time watching the fairies. Not to mention, it is a summer to remember since the Summer king is about to hold a wedding there.
“How is the future queen?” I ask. The future Summer queen is also a fate, one of the most powerful magics in the world.
“Hopefully pregnant.”
I chuckle. “Already thinking of heirs.” The fae obsess over heirs and power.
Fleur claps. “Wouldn’t that be exciting? I could be an aunt.” Bright magic lights the room, and the pair of lycans growl. Fleur pulls the magic back and smiles, her blue eyes twinkling. “Gloriana, June, and now your turn.”
I blush again. I can’t believe she’s saying this with the lycan alpha who wants to breed me in the room. “Maybe I’ll take a decade to become pregnant.”
“Doubtful,” Seith says.
I ignore him. “What about you?”
Fleur smiles politely. “What about me?”
“Will you not take a male?”
