"I love them." She took the small box from his hands. "Thank you." Instead of opening it, she glanced at the paper bag that still looked full. "What else is in there?"
"Hope." He smiled sheepishly. "Maybe not for tonight, though."
When her eyes widened, and he sniffed a faint scent of arousal, he knew that she'd guessed the contents of the bag.
"Where did you get them and why? You're a god. Mia said that you can't catch or transmit diseases, and I'm on the pill."
It appeared as if Mia hadn't told her friend everything yet. "Did Mia tell you how Dormants are activated?"
She shook her head. "I asked, but I didn't get an answer. Mia said that we should leave it for tomorrow, and after you and Toven left, we talked about other stuff, and I forgot to ask her about it again."
Damn.
It was up to him to tell her. "Do you at least know about us having fangs?"
"Yes. Mia told me about that. But I wanted to ask whether the females had fangs too and never got to."
"They do, but they are minimal and don't elongate."
She frowned. "Mia's teeth are still the same as before she met Toven."
Dagor smiled apologetically. "I really can't comment on it because I know next to nothing about what happens during transition. Gabi gained half an inch in height, but she didn't grow fangs."
Frankie's eyes sparkled with interest. "I would love to gain some inches. I'm not saying I want to transition, but if I do, it would be nice to get a little taller."
He took her hand and brought it to his lap. "You are perfect the way you are."
"And you are a flatterer," she said with a chiding tone, but her eyes shone with satisfaction at his compliment. "Now tell me about your fangs."
"I've always thought of my fangs as a defensive weapon or as a way to bring pleasure to my paramours, but I've never thought they could be used in the way the clan does. I've only learned recently about the existence of immortals and dormant carriers of godly genes that can be activated with venom." He felt uncomfortable bringing up the second part of the equation.
He would ease into that.
Frankie
That was a lot of new information, but Frankie wasn't getting dizzy, and her mind was focused and sharp.
Perhaps because she was lying down this time?
Dagor was so cute when he used old-fashioned terms like paramour instead of lover or sex partner. It was a nice change from the guys she dated, who cussed left and right.
The truth was that she used the f-bomb quite often, but mostly quietly, so her boss wouldn't hear her.
Her ex-boss.
Her new boss, or who she hoped would be her new boss, was such a perfect gentleman that she was sure the f-bomb wouldn't pass her lips even once while working for him.
It was all about the company one kept, as her mom kept saying. Luckily, she approved of Margo and Mia, or Frankie wouldn't have heard the end of it.
"What are you thinking about?" Dagor's thumb drew circles on the back of her hand.
She smiled at his gorgeous face. "That I'm doing okay and not fainting from brain overload. So, from what I understand, to induce a Dormant, an immortal or a god needs to bite her or him and inject them with his venom?"
"That's what I was led to understand. But there is more." With a sigh, he pulled a box of condoms from the gift bag. "It has to happen during unprotected sex, so if we get intimate, but you don't want to transition just yet, we need to use these."
The face he made was like they were the vilest things in the world.
But they were a necessity.
