"Looks like you finally got him where you want him, Eladehl," he teased.
I turned my head to see Nari holding his shirt, using it to wipe her own throat dry. "Guess that's one way to get you on bottom, huh?" she asked.
"Nothing wrong with having a strong man throw me around," I told her, but it didn't sound as funny with me gasping between each word.
"Let him up," Jamik told Wraythe. "And the four of you are done for the day. We'll be repeating this every day, an hour after dinner."
"I'll be here," Harlin offered. "Like I said, my own partner is out for a few days."
"Wait," I said. "I thought only Priests of the Body were granted official partners."
The guy shrugged. "It's an easy way to explain my desire's partner's guardian. Like Jamik and Irila. They're partners, since they work together so often." Then he ran his eyes over me, and not in a sexual way. "We also have weights and a place to work out that won't leave your body covered in bruises."
Wraythe turned to inspect the man blatantly. "You're overly helpful, aren't ya?"
"Easy there," Harlin assured him. "I just enjoy having company when I work out."
"He's fine, Wraythe," Irila assured him. Then she looked back to Harlin. "Have a little energy left? Because I still need to get my training in."
"Yes, ma'am," he said.
"Soak those muscles," Irila warned Nari. "I promise it helps. Wraythe, share some of that cream with her for her face?"
"Will do."
Jamik just waved us to the door. "Take the weekend off, you four. Give your muscles a chance to heal. Nari? Make sure you get a massage or you're not going to be able to move tomorrow."
"Promise," she said, offering Talin back his shirt. "And the idea of a bath sounds amazing."
Her guardian dropped his bare arm over her shoulder and steered her to the door. Wraythe's eyes followed her, hanging on her ass, so I slapped his arm playfully, reminding him to walk. He shrugged, tossing me a look that asked if I blamed him. I didn't. I was also forming a plan.
"Hey?" I asked when we were in the hall. "You willing to pamper her for a bit?"
"Always. Why?" He slowed his steps, letting Nari and Talin get a little further ahead.
I subtly gestured at them. "I have homework."
"Not following," Wraythe admitted.
So I leaned in and lowered my voice. "I was thinking about spending the night across the hall. None of us want to leave her alone, but..."
He nodded, then reached up to clasp my shoulder. "Is he just the first available?"
"He's fucking hot," I whispered. "I mean, unless you've changed your mind?"
"Not gonna happen," Wraythe grumbled, but he chuckled right after, ruining his attempt to sound offended. "I know he's got lube in there, so you should be good."
"And how do you know that?" I asked.
Wraythe grinned. "I gave it to him. Consider this my way of taking care of you."
"Aw, you do care," I joked.
"Sure, keep telling yourself that, but you're going to ask Nari if she's ok with me hanging out with her." He paused for a moment. "You know, I haven't really been alone with her since right after Zeal fixed our rings."
"And I will not come back until tomorrow morning," I said softly. "No expectations, Wraythe. Just spend some time with her. Spoil her a bit. She loves that, and I'm pretty sure you love doing it."
"Fuck," he grumbled.
