A noise worked up from my gut. I stared down at her in awe, noting the rest of the pub was too. My cock was rock hard. “Fuck, Kitten.” I swallowed roughly. “Not sure if I was turned on or scared shitless.”

She lifted a brow, pushing by me.

Both… most definitely both. And that only made me harder.

I never had any doubt Katrina was capable and could handle herself, but it didn’t make it any less hot when she did. And by the silence, the room tuned into her. I knew many had the same thought.

They would die happy as long as they were between her legs.

And I was no different.

My woman is badass.

I stopped cold. The thought ran down my spine, robbing me of breath.

What. The. Fuck.

Blowing out, I shook my head, pushing the thought away before catching up with her.

The man’s dark eyes watched us intensely as we approached the table. There were absolutely no qualities that would pin any notice on him. Sitting, I couldn’t tell his height, but I guessed around five foot ten. His face would be forgotten if you looked away. Dark eyes and light brown, close-cropped hair. He so easily blended in with a crowd.

My first instinct was to think,This is the one they’re afraid of? But something about him gave me pause; he held a heavy presence, a weight that tipped the room. Though part of me felt that was something he was putting on for the world, dressing for the job he wanted, not what he actually was. Yet.

“So it really is the notorious Silver Tongue Devil.” The man had a blank expression. “And the infamous Puss in Boots.”

“You know who we are.” There wasn’t a question, but certainly a worry about how he knew our identities so easily.

“I know everything that happens here, who steps into this hellscape, especially if they are looking for me.” Dzsinn motioned at the chairs. “Sit.”

Kat’s eyes met mine for a moment, and I swear I sensed an entire conversation in a single blink. A decision for us to stay guarded and alert.

We sunk into seats across from him.

“You might be gifted to slip away unnoticed, but you two don’t exactly blend into a room.” His brow curved up, gesturing to the eyes still on us. “You can’t help but attract, charm, and seduce. Have willing victims in every port.”

“Doesn’t explain how you know our names, though.” I eased back in the chair, claiming even more dominance than him.

“I have known about you for alongtime.” He stared at me. “But let’s get to why you’re looking for me.”

I watched him for a moment as we calculated and gauged each other.

“We’re here to find information about the new fae leader.” My tongue moved skillfully around every word, precisely without giving much away.

“And why would two seafaring pirates need to know about a fae lord in Budapest?” he challenged, playing the game of information. Something fae took very seriously.

“The more you know, right?” I lifted my eyebrow, folding my ankle over my knee. “Also waysintothe palace.”

“Now we’re getting somewhere.” Dzsinn leaned back, eyeing me with contemplation. “You want to rob the palace of treasures.”

“Of one,” I corrected. “Which was not his to take in the first place.”

“So you want to know secret passages or ways into the palace to steal back said item.”

A grin plucked the side of my face in the affirmative.

“That’s not a simple or small task.” Dzsinn folded his hands on the table.

“But not impossible,” Kat pressed, drawing his focus.
