“I’m so glad Calix found you. I know you have a new big brother now but—” Eryx started, but I shook my head.
“Don’t you even.” I poked his chest with a faux glare. “You’veearnedbig brother status,” I told him, making him smile boyishly.
“Alright, my turn.” Baach cut in, and I laughed as he swept me away. “Are you enjoying yourself, my Queen?”
“You’ve outdone yourself, Master of Ceremonies,” I countered, raising a brow at him pointedly.
He laughed, shaking his head, “Come on, I’ve got to get my fun in before you’re actually queen, and I can’t tease you anymore.”
“Like that would stop you.” I snorted but looked up at him with a calculating gleam in my eyes.
“Uh oh.” He raised his brows at me, smirking.
I smirked right back, “If you’re looking for fun, you could always go find Ilta. I’m sure she’s more than willing to have all the fun you want.”
“And what is that supposed to mean?” His brows flew up, and I shook my head at him in disbelief.
“Baach, come on. You must see it,” I said, exasperated.
“See what?” he asked defensively. “She enjoys having sex with me during parties, yes, but that’s all she’s interested in.”
“Oh Nox, Baach. Tell me you don’t honestly believe that.” I watched him with wide eyes as we slowed, too invested in the conversation to focus on dancing. He honestly looked confused.
These Tartarus damned immortals. I swear to Nox.
“Okay, here’s a hint. Maybe ask her?” I advised, thinking it quite obvious.
He looked shocked, his hazel eyes wide, and I smirked at him before Lord Polaris and Lady Nillah pulled me away to dance, leaving Baach staring into the distance. Following his eyes, I found Ilta dancing with Lord Ciaran. I remembered vividly how he’d watched Lady Jasira. I looked over at the lady herself to find her watching the two dancing intently, a slight frown on her face.
What a mess.

I feltlike I’d been dancing forever. I’d danced with Calix many times, but kept getting stolen away by others. I was currently dancing with Ladies Aisling and Alora, enjoying myself as they teased me over Calix, when the man himself appeared, wrapping his arms around my waist.
“One last dance before we head downstairs,” he whispered in my ear, and I nodded eagerly, more than ready for the next part of the night.
Aisling winked at me as she danced off toward Kyler, and Alora took a break since Rhidian was sitting down, waiting for her. But I was quickly distracted as Calix began moving.
He kept my back to him, and I hooked my arm around his neck as he pulled my hips back into his. We swayed against one another, my ass brushing against his covered cock, teasing both of us for later. His hand went to my stomach, and I laced our fingers together.
I tilted my head back toward him, and he leaned down to touch his lips to mine. I turned around fully and pressed myself into him as we danced. My hands went into his hair while he gripped my hips, and his shadows started slithering up my legs. I moaned as they stroked my inner thighs, inching higher and higher.
But then Ilta was there, pulling me away. Calix and I both groaned in protest, reaching for one another.
“Oh no, you don’t!” Ilta laughed, pulling me further. “You just have to get downstairs, you animals. You can wait twenty minutes.”
“No, I can’t,” I whined, and Ilta cocked her head at me with a glare, making me pout. Calix leaned in quickly, growling as he bit my pouty bottom lip. I gasped slightly, and he pulled back with a smirk.
“See you soon, my réalta,” he whispered ruggedly, before disappearing into the crowd. I sighed, desperately horny and wishing I could chase him down. But Ilta was right; I just needed to change and make my way downstairs, and then I had an entire night with him to lose myself to lust.
Ilta laughed at me as she grabbed my hand, leading me to the room set up for us to change.
“You two are ridiculous.” She shook her head with a smile. “I’ve never seen a newly mated couple before, but I’m starting to understand the insanity.”
“Hey!” I complained, and Ilta giggled, pulling me into the room to change.
I sighed but began going through the rack to find myself an outfit.
