"And now he has a—" I thought back to the words Bain said while we were still on top of the mountain. "An evil demigod, to deal with."
"Witches, shifters and gods. Oh my," Bain muttered.
I grinned and stepped through the door. "Life isn't going to be boring, is it?" Anything but.
Honestly, I could do with a bit of a boring life for a while. Although, give me a week and I'd crave a bit of adventure. Sitting still for long was never really my thing.
"Not at all," he agreed. His brow creased. He was difficult to read at the best of times, but it didn't take a genius to tell he was worried.
"What do you think the Alpha will say?" We stepped past a statue of two gods screwing. One of many like it here in the Residence. This statue featured a god bent forward, hands splayed out in front of him. His partner gripped his hips and had an enormous erect cock poised just outside his ass.
Can we say ouch? My butt cheeks clenched at the idea of anyone trying to fit anything that big into any of my holes. I'm not saying I wouldn't let someone try though.
Either way, good for the gods. They looked like they were having fun.
"I don't know," Bain said. He gave no sign of noticing the statue, but he'd seen it a million times, so maybe it didn't register anymore.
"What would you do?" I asked.
That question clearly took him by surprise. When I say clearly, I mean his eyebrow twitched. That was the Bain equivalent of startling.
"Don't say you'll wait and see what you're told to do," I said, waggling a finger at him. "I want to know what you'd do if you were Keeper or Alpha." There's no way he hadn't thought about it. I had.
"It's not my place—" he started.
I interrupted. "I won't tell."
He didn't say anything as we passed a pair of guards and stepped through the door into my suite. Bigger than my previous apartment in the outside world—Sydney to be exact—it was ridiculously opulent.
"Someone has been in here." I stopped on the threshold and sniffed the air. There was a strange scent. Two of them.
"Stay near the door," Bain said. He drew out a knife without making so much as a sound.
When he stepped deeper into the sitting room, I followed almost on his heels.
He turned his head to give me a scowl, but didn't say anything.
I smiled, then drew a butt ton of his sandalwood scent. It gave me enough power to blast a hole in the wall. I could stand up for myself, and then some. Surely he knew that by now?
Men.
His eyes moved back and forth.
I could see him thinking, sensing. Reading the room, for want of a better way to put it.
He nodded toward the bathroom.
Maybe someone just needed to pop in and pee, and decided to do it here. Okay, that might explain one person, but it didn't explain two. Well no, it still might. Some folks had unique kinks.
I wasn't about to kink shame anyone, but did they have to do it in my bathroom?
That theory was blown to smithereens when a large shape burst through the bathroom doorway and leapt for Bain's throat.
Bain ducked and slashed. The tiger twisted aside and landed on his feet.
Tiger shifter. These guys looked like trouble. Last time it was Arctic foxes who tried to kill me. This time was personal.
Wait, last time was also personal. This time pissed me off.
