“We're having sex right now.” He came at me.
I backed up. “Excuse me?”
“You heard me. If the Angel got some, I should as well.” Then he called over his shoulder. “Sex time!”
“We are on a mission in a hunter house!” I pointed at Daxon as I might our son. “Check yourself, Tromlaighe!”
Medea burst out laughing.
“Fuck off, Medea,” Daxon growled, keeping his vivid blue stare on me, and kept coming.
“Daxon!” Raza snarled from the archway of the dining room.
Daxon stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder at Raza. “What?”
“This is not the time and certainly not the place.”
“But Sever—”
“What the fuck is wrong with you, dude?” Killian stepped up to add. “This is bad, even for you.”
Daxon sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. “It's the lack of sex. It's been too long. I'm losing my damn mind.”
Medea went into another bout of laughter.
“Oh, fuck you, snake-bitch,” Daxon growled.
Medea laughed harder. “Snake-bitch! I love it! I gotta tell the others.” She pulled out her phone and started typing as she spoke, “Hey, snake-bitches!”
Daxon rolled his eyes.
“You can all come back to Twilight with me later, all right?” I offered.
Daxon perked up. “How about a handy to get me through?”
“What the fuck, dude?” Killian exclaimed again.
I shook my head and walked past Daxon to go to the dining room.
“Is that a no?” Dax called after me.
“Why did I marry that man?” I asked no one in particular.
“I have wondered that myself many times, mo shíorghrá,” Raza said, then bent to kiss me hello. “How is Mirielle?”
“Wonderful.”
Then I spotted Star, lounging in a chair at the dining table, a teacup in his hand. He lifted a brow at me.
Oh, Gods. Why did he have to witness shit like that?
“May I congratulate you now?” Alexis asked, coming into the room behind me.
I smiled at her, eager to focus on something other than Star. “Yes, of course. Sorry about rushing off.”
“No, it's fine. I know exactly what it's like when that happens.” She widened her eyes at me. “Breast pads are your friends.”
“No kidding,” I said. “I like the hair, by the way.”
