Amelia stepped aside as Armin loomed over Gia.
Gia stared up at him, and her pheromones blocked his.
Armin frowned. “You are familiar.”
“So are you. We have met.”
He scowled, “Where?”
“I was adrift in a lifeboat and had just blown myself up to get your attention. I don’t do that for every guy.” She grimaced.
His eyes went wide. “I thought you died.”
Gia looked at Amelia. “Dear god. I am dead. Get Wren to send me to my cemetery plot.”
Amelia grinned. “Call her yourself.”
Armin frowned. “No, they told me you died.”
“Oh, I did. Twice. They managed to get me back. Cardiac arrest. I nearly bled out, and I had some unlocated particles that made me septic. I felt so fucking pretty waking up rigged like an elementary school plumbing project.”
She looked at him. “So, thanks for hauling me out of that sinking boat.”
She extended her hand to him, and he grabbed her hand. There was a spark, and his horns were visible. Of course, Gia flashed into a stunning woman in a soft gown, but when the flash was over, she was in her heavy gear and boots.
Elly knew what Gia looked like when truly relaxed for a social event. She could make angels weep; she was so gorgeous. It took a lot of effort to butch up as much as she had, but she considered it worth the work.
Armin looked at her. “Do you always look like this?”
Gia grinned. “Every chance I get.”
He sighed. “I had hoped you would be more feminine.”
She laughed. “Send me home, Amelia.”
“I can’t. Luna says you are requested as the opening act for Emerald Shiver.”
Keahi grinned. “That’s us.”
Gia groaned. “Oh, come on. The band isn’t here. What would I do for backup?”
Elly asked, “Solo? Acapella?”
Gia grimaced. “I guess it will have to be unless... Amelia, did you ever make headway with the drums?”
“Nope, but my nephew taught me the keyboards.”
“Amelia, will you be my backup band?”
Amelia grinned. “I will... but we need stage clothing.”
Ven laughed. “We will be able to help with that. Solai has an excellent fashion sense.”
Henry perked up from where he had been pouting and glaring at Tor. “I can help with that.”
Gia sighed. “Right, when is this thing?”
Syar smiled. “Tomorrow night.”
