The guardians exchanged glances, but obeyed.
Shamans rushed down the stone steps toward the beach.
Red approached the librarian, looking her up and down. “So you’re the infiltrator. The shape shifter.”
“A-Aeleftherian bitch,” Sam spat, shivering as her blood seeped into the rocks below her.
Red snorted. “And?
“Consider your words carefully, Sam. And maybe we’ll help you get your sister back.”
Sam’s eyes swung to Marli’s face, but she remained silent.
Marli leaned over her. “Let’s start with the seal. I can rip it from your arms. Or you can hand it over. I can send the shamans away. Or they can heal you so we can discuss your master and your sister.”
“And who your contact was,” Red added.
Sam’s lips compressed in her pale face.
Don’t be stupid and fucking die on us.
Sam looked up at Sten, reached into the rucksack to extract the velvet bag containing the seal, holding it up to him.
He nodded, accepting it.
Marli breathed a sigh of relief.
Red signaled for the Shamans to approach.
The guardians surrounded their prisoner as she was transported up through the village to the citadel.
Sten reached for Marli’s hand. She linked her fingers through his, allowing him to pull her into his chest. She sighed as his arms enveloped her, his cheek resting on her head as he murmured. “I’m going to have to follow you everywhere just to keep you out of trouble, Marli. My heart can’t take this.”
She leaned back to look up into his face. Movement caught her eye on the low cliff top above them.
They looked to see Zayli watching them with a smirk on her face. She snorted, “You two are perfect for each other. Come on, the queen wants you in her council chambers.” She strode away, leaving them alone on the beach.
Marli grinned up at Sten. “I know this really cool beach not so far away that you might like. Clothing optional—unnecessary, really. Great party crowd.”
Sten chuckled. “Sounds a little hedonistic.”
“It’s a lot hedonistic. Interested?” She pressed her hips against his.
“Absolutely. But I desperately need to see you in the nearest library, soon.”
She gasped, “Oh, I can help you with that, too. We have the best one in the world.”
He lifted a brow, moving closer, eyes on her lips. “In the world, huh?”
She nodded. “Mhmm,” She rose up to meet his lips, hips pressed to his. With a hand around his nape, she pulled him toward the cliff face, where the overhang would shield them from any witnesses.
Back pressed to the rock, she slid her hands into the open front of his robe and down into his borrowed pants.
Eyes alight with a roguish spark, Sten’s hands pushed her own robe aside as he dipped to lick and nibble her breasts.
He was long and hard, and she was ready. “Now, Sten.”
He obliged, nestling between her hot thighs, tip pressed to her entrance as he slid into her.
