He looked like he was considering it. Seriously considering it. I unwound my telekinetic magic, sliding it up his leg to help him decide.

His eyes smoldered. “You’re flirting with danger, Pandora.”

“Always.” My self control was slipping. All I had to do was reach out and…

“Could you two lovebirds stop mentally undressing each other long enough to make some space?”

Nero’s knee jerked up and bumped the underside of the table.

I looked up at our uninvited guest. “Harker, so nice of you to visit. Now goodbye.”

Harker chuckled and sat down next to Nero, who had backed away from me to an appropriate distance. How boring.

“Leda, your top’s undone,” Harker said casually.

I looked down at my top, which I’d zipped lower to show off an impressive amount of cleavage. Not that it helped me anymore. Now that Harker was here, Nero was on his best behavior.

I tried to zip up my top, but it got stuck. I cursed.

“Problems?” Harker said lightly, clearly amused.

“Yeah, my boobs got bigger, so none of my tops fit anymore.”

Harker chuckled. “Yep, you’ve got problems.”

“Well, you try being pregnant.”

“I don’t believe that’s anatomically possible, Leda. But if you’re having trouble with your boobs, then I’m sure Nero would gladly lend you a hand.”

“If only,” I muttered bitterly, slouching back in my chair.

“Is this seat taken?”

My gloomy mood brightened as soon as I looked up to find Ivy standing beside our table.

“Of course not!” I told her. “Sit down, stranger.”

Ivy sat down with her apple cinnamon muffin.

“How’s Leila treating you back at Storm Castle?” I asked her.

“Great. It’s all great there.”

“You know, it’s even better here,” I told her.

“You know I love you, Leda.”

I snickered. “But you love Drake more.”

Ivy grinned, totally lovestruck. “Is that bad?”

“No, it’s about time you two realized how you feel about each other. Everyone else knew ages ago.”

“Surely not everyone.”

I looked at Harker. “Everyone at the Legion’s New York office knew, right?”

Harker nodded. “Naturally.”
