“Okay, look, it’s the vampire,” Heath said, wincing.
“Did you stake him?” True asked, looking surprised.
“Not yet,” Heath said. “But that is tempting.”
“Can I do it?” True asked, then waved that away. “Actually, it’s more likely that my sister will do it before me.”
CHAPTER SEVEN
~
“Okay,” Heath said, holding up his hands in surrender. “You’re doing that female thing of word salad, and I’m doing that male thing of not following what you’re saying.”
“Oh, poor baby,” True said with a teasing grin.
“Let’s take it one thing at a time and get this out of the way first. Are you telling me we have possible mates and that your sister intends to kill Lex?”
True took a moment to think about it. “That’s two things, and possibly.”
Heath cocked an eyebrow at her. “Which one?”
True frowned. “Both.”
Heath opened his mouth, but his brain was still playing catch up. “I’m not…” He shook his head.
“But, what did you want to tell me if not that?”
Heath waved an absent hand as he tried to figure out what his mate was saying. “The vampire hired a witch to raise the ghost from the ship,” he said just as absently.
“What!” True screeched and snapped him back into the moment. Now he was paying attention. “All bets are off with my sister; I just might stake him first.”
“He did it with intentions to win a bet,” Heath said, closing his eyes as the realisation swept over him that he’d just overshared.
“Bet?” True asked, her interest piqued, and she narrowed her eyes on her mate. “You look very shifty right about now. No bloody pun intended.”
Heath grumbled a growl in the back of his throat. He raised his hand, intending to point his finger, but thought better of it. Pointing a finger at a witch wasn’t the best idea when her finger was loaded with magic, and yours wasn’t. “There was a bet,” he admitted.
“We established that,” True replied, raising one eyebrow at him.
Heath looked slightly pained. “It was to do with wooing, in a roundabout way.”
“Roundabout?”
“Roundabout.” He shrugged.
“Wooing?” True asked. She folded her arms and tilted her head to one side, questioning him with a hard stare.
“Wooing.”
“You said that,” True said. “Repeating what I’m saying is only going to buy you so long,explain.”
“And if I could.”
“Woo?”
“You.” Now he looked even more pained, like he’d stubbed his toe on a big rock.
“Hmm,” True said.
