“Fine, then what did you two settle on for the name?” Severin asked, ignoring her warning not to ruin anything. She was a good female and clearly cared for Thana.

“The Safe Haven Sanctuary. I compromised and left out vein and human because they would be a huge red flag. See, I’m very accommodating like that.” Savage gave a smug grin that spread around the room.

“Okay, enough shop talk. What about the Hallows Eve party? Are we all doing couples’ costumes or a group theme? We could be Ninja Turtles, sexy, of course. Or wait, how about superheroes? The males could choose any Marvel hero, and we females could choose a Marvel heroine. If we go that route, I’m choosing Elektra,” Thana said.

“Who the fuck is Elektra?” Savage asked.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, are you serious? She’s seriously the sexiest, most badass bitch ever. Also, she was played by Jennifer Garner, and if you say one stupid word, Boss, I will let Aurora smack you in your nutsack.” Thana raised her palm, and an image of Jennifer Garner, dressed in a red leather corset and matching leather pants, appeared before them.

Severin pulled Thana in front of him and pressed his lips to her ear. “Just so we’re clear, you’re a hundred times sexier than she could ever be, but I do see the appeal of you in that get-up.”

“Mmm, and who would you choose to dress up as? Let me toss up a few of my favorites. Batman or Superman are at the top of the list. The thought of you in black latex gives me the shivers, or in a pair of red briefs would be amazing as well,” Thana sighed.

“You want me to wear something tight and molded to my body where every male or female couldn’t help but miss what I’m...packing?” Severin asked, wanting her to say yes.

Thana licked her lips, thinking she’d have to wear real katanas if Severin came dressed as a sexy Batman or Superman. Still, she wanted to see him dressed up for their annual Hallows Eve party.

“Wait, if it’s a couples’ theme and you’re dressing as Elektra, wouldn’t he be Daredevil?” Starla said, laughing at the horrified look on her mate’s face.

“Baby, don’t even think about it,” Scepter said.

Starla blinked her big, bright eyes at the male who looked so much like Severin, but Thana had known Scepter for hundreds of years. There was no way she could confuse the two males. In her mind, Severin was ten times sexier.

Scepter’s stern expression didn’t reach his eyes as he tried to stare her down. Starla patted Scepter’s cheek like one would a child. “No worries, big guy. You and I will be an amazing couple. You will be Thor Odinson, and I’ll be Jane Foster. I really like your big...hammer.” Starla tried to jump off his lap, her words coming out as a laughing shriek.

Scepter stood and tossed Starla over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “If you’ll excuse my female and me, I need to show her my impressive hammer.”

“Oh, Thor, I can’t wait to feel your mighty⁠—”

Scepter slapped his hand down on Starla’s ass once, really hard, making Starla gasp.

“Cool, I call dibs on Iron Man and Pepper for Savage and me then,” Aurora crowed.

“Fuck, I can’t believe we’re being led around by our dicks. Baby, you always have me like iron. How am I going to be Iron Man in public? You really want me to have a hard-on out in public for all to see?”

Fur popped out over Aurora’s arms. Thana’s eyes went wide. “Easy, mama wolf.”

Savage went serious. “Hey, I was kidding, Vita mea. You know I’d never let any other see my cock unless you wanted them to. It’s settled. I’ll be Iron Man wearing a suit, covering my hard-on, and you’ll be a sexy Pepper in a pencil skirt with a slit so high I’ll be able to slide my hand, or dick, up it.”

“Okay, that’s enough. You two can play dress-up and all that tomorrow night. Thank fuck the club is cool with Rated R shit.” Thane clapped his hands once.

Thana’s heart ached as she watched her brother back away from the door. She’d felt his despair when Mari was mentioned. Could Mari be her brother Thane’s mate?

“Don’t overthink shit, piuthar beag. I’ll see you all later. I need to head back to the bar. You know they can’t run things without us, Boss.” Thane didn’t wait for anyone to agree or disagree. He burst into a hundred small bats, then into smoke.

“He’s so dramatic.” Savage tapped two blunt fingers on the desk. “Everyone, leave. Go home or to the bar, wherever. I have a female to remind who’s in charge of this relationship, and all of you are giving me a damn migraine. Sev, Thana, you both have been added to the ward access for our estate. We’ll see all of you tomorrow afternoon, not a minute sooner.” Savage and Aurora blurred and then left her and the others alone.

“And he said Thane was dramatic,” Severin muttered.

“Come on. Let’s go to Savage’s and Aurora’s estate. Their suite is on the third floor. We’ll take one of the guest suites in the East Wing on the second floor. Less chance of hearing them doing anything dirty.” Thana slid her fingers between Severin’s.

“Do they have themed suites?” Severin asked with a slight smirk.

“We could add anything you want to the rooms, mo ghaol.” She looked up at him. His absolute dominance radiated down on her.

“Watch yourself, Thana. Whether we make it out of this room before I bend you over and fuck you is entirely up to you.”

She wasn’t going to risk getting fucked by Severin in the middle of Savage’s office, even if everyone else would flash out of there.
