“Well, badass, move your legs. You still haven’t done that yet.”
My father sighed heavily and lifted a foot…and kicked my lover straight on the ass, making Lord Belshazzar stumble forward two steps.
“Whoa.” My vampire Overlord looked down at me and leered. “You’re getting feisty, huh?”
A weird noise came out of my nose as I tried not to laugh. I choked, “You know it.”
Lord Otto fell back against a wall as he wrapped his arms around his waist and laughed silently.
Before my father could kick him in his ass again, I tipped my head toward the door. “It’s a little too crowded in here though. I’d prefer to go to your room—with no one else around.”
Lord Belshazzar nodded with grand head motions. “Yes, my room. I’m glad you thought of that.” He waggled a finger behind us, ordering, “Someone grab the head. I still need it for something.”
Lord Pippin muttered, “I really don’t want to know what you’re going to do with it, but I’ll take care of it for you for now.”
Tentatively, I tried pulling him forward.
And he fucking moved!
The promise of sex won again in life.
Too bad my lover flopped on his face right outside his bedchamber door, and his bodyguards had to carry him inside and put him to bed. With the Original druid amulet still stuck in his pants pocket while he snored…for the next twenty-four hours straight.
EVERYTHING WAS GRAYAND SQUISHY.
I couldn’t see very well at all. There were just vaguely darker shapes among the fuzzy gray.
I could hear shouting.
There was a lot of it.
My throat hurt.
Not swallowing-hurt, but actual pain.
My own eyes stared back at me.
The sound of a horse took over the shouting, and it felt like I was floating. But a moment after, there were strong arms around me.
“Hang on, Kimber, please…”
I didn’t know if there was anything to hold on to, but I didn’t want to let go.
Not yet.
Galloping. It was breakneck speed. I could feel the wind.
I passed out again.
Galloping. Jostling. Moving.
I guessed time had passed.
I opened my eyes, but the gray had become darker.
Was I dying or had the sun set?
There was so much pain that I didn’t even feel it this time.
