“When we were kids, yeah.”
He entered the bedroom and pushed the door shut with his heel. “He agreed to occupy himself, but I am betting that he makes an appearance before we head to the great room for a cuddle.”
“So, you dressed me. How does this outfit come off?”
He grinned and set her on her feet next to the bed. “I believe that I can manage to remove it.”
Dante set about removing the twists of fabric from around her body. The movement of his mouth along her skin loosened the knots and closures, and delightful minutes later, she was naked, and he was doing a slow circle around her.
She smiled. “One of us is overdressed.”
Dante stroked her neck and cupped her shoulder. “That’s true. Damn, I missed you, Keres.”
“I am back, and I am willing to fight to stay now.”
Dante cupped her head and held her while he kissed her. “You know we will burn this city down if you so much as whisper it?”
“And I will slaughter every Elite in the Stronghold if they even look at you wrong,” she muttered against his mouth.
“So, we are well matched. All of our triad willing to kill to protect it.” He smiled.
“We knew we were a match, or you would have turned me away when I came to you.” Her fingers slid under the edge of his wrapped tunic and found the closure. It was a cross between hooks and snaps. It opened, and then she unbuckled the belt around his waist.
He trailed his fingers down her spine. She loosened all of his clothes, and when they were both naked, he eased her to the bed, started at the tips of her ears, and worked his way down her body.
When he slid into her, she sighed and dug her nails into his back. They rocked together until she moaned, and he followed her then rolled, and she braced herself on his chest, moving her hips lazily. Dante smiled, flinched, and smiled again.
She sighed and stopped. “Sorry. I keep forgetting how sensitive you are right after.”
“Achilles isn’t. I know.”
“I don’t make the mistake of thinking you are the same, dearling,” She caressed his neck and stroked his nipples. Her fingers walked slowly down his abs, and he smiled.
“Fine, so you have been paying attention.” He grinned.
She arched her back and tilted her head back as she started to move on his renewed erection. The chains and jewels clashed as she rocked, and her mate enjoyed the view.
An hour later, she was curled up against him, cleaned up and sated. She felt Achilles approach, and once inside, he brought them something to drink and a snack.
“So, glowing star, how long do you wish to stay?”
She paused as she reached for a cracker with cheese. “I thought to make it permanent unless there is a reason I shouldn’t?”
Achilles smiled. “No. There is every reason you should. We just need to know how hard we have to try to keep you with us.”
She blushed. “You don’t have to do that. If you want me, I will stay. My reason for keeping away is gone, and I have already shown my boss what I actually look like. I can’t go back, but I will not stay if you don’t want me here.”
Achilles smiled and stroked her hair, toying with the braid Dante had been playing with while she rode him.
“You are my mates, regardless of our physical location.”
Dante stroked her back. “He is wanting to know if you want to come with us on our endless rounds of holiday parties at galleries and friends’ homes. Heck. We might as well throw one close to the actual holidays as you will be very pregnant by then. I doubt you will be able to shift once they stretch out.” He smiled. “It is best that they come to you.”
“Sure. Can you guys teach Persephone’s guys how to give foot rubs and lower backrubs? You are really good at it, and they seem to have staggered off the mark a bit. I just wonder if you could give them a hand.”
Achilles grinned. “We will, but you have to be there so that we can show them in person.”
“Oh, boy. You aren’t going to do anything embarrassing, are you?”
