He was looking at the snowball like it was a holy object. He nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Be quiet because the babies are sleeping, but when you find him with a bigger, darker man, throw it at him in the chest or stomach. Not the face. Can you do that? If you do, I will make you a bunch of them the next time we meet.” She looked to Estelle. “Is that okay?”
Estelle grinned, rubbing a hand across her short blue hair. “It definitely is. So, Ford is with your mate?”
“He is trying to seduce him into being in a video.” She smirked and looked at the house.
Antonio looked at her in surprise. “And you weaponized a child?”
“Well, I could have crawled into Achilles’ lap and started grinding on him. It was an option, but I chose decorum.”
There was a shout and a flicker of laughter in her mind. Tobin burned rubber getting out of the house and sprinted straight for his mom with a shocked Ford right behind him.
Keres hooted with laughter and fell to her side. The look on Ford’s face was hysterical. She was wheezing with laughter until familiar legs stopped in front of her. She sucked in air and then hiccupped. “Oh geez. I needed that laugh. The look on Ford’s face.”
Hands reached down and pulled her up. Achilles was grinning. “Weaponizing children?”
“Yeah. If he couldn’t convince you by now... he was out of time.”
He brushed grass off her backside with focused attention. “He was showing me pictures of you firing a bazooka when you were doing some green screen work for Antonio’s company. And the happy dance that the tank did when you won the race.”
Antonio chuckled. “We put that in the game. Achilles, would you show us your full form?”
She looked at Achilles. He grinned.
“I will if Keres will.” His eyes glowed softly.
She glanced at Tobin and saw the worship in his eyes. “Estelle, do you want to find your mate?”
“I... yes.”
Antonio said, “But Tobin is pale.”
Achilles smiled. “We darken as we acquire power.”
She felt Dante coming, and he grinned. “Someone called?”
“Estelle and Tobin want to know what the others look like... not naked.”
Estelle laughed, but her eyes searched Dante’s features, and then she looked disappointed.
Keres said, “We’ll find him if he is searchable. When I extend my hand, take it.”
Achilles grinned. “Full gear?”
Dante was excited. “Yes!”
Keres pressed her hands to his chest. “Full gear.”
He tipped her chin up, and she kissed him. Dante kissed her neck, and they took light from the sun and shadow from the trees and wove their formal garb that fit their larger forms. While they were still gathering energy, she held out her hand, and Estelle’s hand gripped it. Achilles’ eyes flew open, and he lifted his head from the slow kiss. He murmured, “He’s out. He’s in town. Do you want him here?”
Estelle sucked in air. “Can you get me his number?”
Achilles laughed. “It doesn’t work that way, but we can keep him under control.”
Estelle swallowed. “I have to see him.”
Keres used the information that Achilles was giving her and pulled the Elite other into the yard. She released Estelle’s hand, and Estelle grabbed Tobin and held him against her as the tall black-bronze man in T-shirt and sweats stood there.
