I jump to my feet with her in my arms and gently set her on the chair again. Then I do just what my lady commands and kneel before her.
She smiles.
“Mel—”
“Melody Karas.”
My eyes widen and I repeat the name to myself under my breath. “Melody Karas, My Lady, will you please be kind to me and give me exactly what I want, rather than what I deserve?”
Mel pulls me in for a kiss. “How about I give you both? But let’s have a long engagement and give the kids time to adjust.”
A squeal from the door alerts me moments before two tiny bodies collide with ours. “They’re getting married! Damian, Mom’s gonna be like Princess Anna!”
Mel rolls her eyes, but she’s grinning at her kids’ reaction. “We’ve spoken about this. Elsa is the smart sister. Anna was silly, and she picked the wrong guy.”
Elsa puts her hands on her hips and gives her mother a stern look I absolutely recognize. “Mom, Jarra is Kristoff, not Prince Hans. I bet he even knows some trolls. Do you?”
I laugh. “Actually, I’m pretty sure I do, but they’re a lot bigger than the movie.”
Damian steps back and looks between Mel, Elsa, and me. “I think he looks more like Sven.”
Poor kid pouts when we all burst into laughter.
“What? Sven’s the only one that’s got horns.”
Eventually, the kids get distracted and go back to playing. Mel and I sit at her little kitchen table with cups of tea, and I feel like a different monster.
“What will you do about the election?”
I sigh. “I don’t know. I might have messed up. It might be too late. I have to go back and meet with Stuart and my team again, and tell them you might have agreed to rescue me again.”
She grins. “We can rescue each other, then.”
“And if not, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.”
“What’s that?”
“I get to quit! And go back to running my business again, like any sane bull would do.”
She laughs. “Don’t lie. You love schmoozing people.”
“I do, but I don’t think I need to be the guy in charge.”
She nods wisely. “Better find yourself a political party then, and appoint someone else as leader.”
Fucking genius.
I nod. “Yeah. Why the fuck didn’t I think of that before? There must be other monsters out there who would do this.”
She puts her hand on my arm. “Don’t make this bigger than a troll’s dick.”
I laugh. “Who told you that one? Whoever it was should have said minotaur. Definitely minotaurs who have the biggest.”
Mel snorts. “Maybe I better take on a few troll clients, and we can compare.”
“Fuck, you’re hot when you talk like that. You better let me watch, My Lady, that’s all I ask.”
She shakes her head. “No more clients. No trolls, no other monsters. Just you.”
