“Fine. We went for a hike outside of Vlaise. We ran into some wasps and ended up having to jump into a nearby pool of water.”

I decided to skip ahead.

“Cass’s hands and mouth were on me. I was…” I squeezed my eyes tight in frustration. I could notbelieveI was having this conversation withhim.

“Well, I was a little distracted, because it was about the same time that I…”

He rolled his tongue across the front of his bottom lip, raising his eyebrows at me.

“That’s when I felt the shadows over us. It was his wings. They had come out of nowhere.”

The Prince appeared appeased at my description.

“Is there anything else oranyoneelse I should know about?” he asked.

I looked at him tight-lipped, crossing my arms.

“Luke. Luke Bellamy,” I clarified.

“Funny. Yourboyfrienddidn’t mention that one,” he teased.

I had never told Cass about how Luke came into his full powers. The first time Cass showed up at the High Court, he had asked me if Luke was my boyfriend, and I had been able to say honestly that he was not. The subject of the nature of my relationship with Luke had not come up with Cass again, however.

“Similar circumstances?” he pried, showing some of his amusement.

“We were fucking, if that’s what you mean,” I replied crudely, becoming irritated at him being amused at my expense.

“And he gained his powers back while you werefucking?” the Prince asked, mimicking my dirty mouth.

“Yes. We were in the ocean.” And then, remembering that the Prince had seemed irritated by Luke, instead of veering away from his questions, I decided to lean into them.

“My legs were wrapped around Luke. It was hard to keep up, my orgasms were crashing into me wave after wave, but at some point, he began to glow, really glow, and then I was glowing too,” I gloated.

The Prince took a deep breath.

“When was this?” he asked.

“The Summer Ball at House Bellamy,” I replied.

“Anyoneelse?” he asked.

I sighed, exasperated.

“Rhett Rein,” I conceded.

“Again,fucking?” he asked, his enjoyment at taunting me returning.

I took a deep breath in through my nose.

“Yes.” And then, before I could catch myself, I said, “Well, not exactly. I was with Luke.”

“So you and Luke were going at it, and Rhett somehow got his powers back from that?” the Prince asked, puzzled.

I pursed my lips together.

“Not quite,” I said.

He waited for me to explain.
