Kessie nodded.“So we don’t have to meet in Daycross all the time, but we can because Daddy’s going to be playing horse golf again.”
Sorooth sighed.“Polo.”
Keska and Kessie shrugged at the same time.“Whatever.”
Jienne laughed along with everyone else.
Keska looked at Sorooth, and he looked very pleased with himself.“We still have to talk to Caska and Ava, you know.”
“I know, but I am extremely happy right now.”His hand squeezed her thigh.
“Not on your lap, so I will take your word for it.”
His hand froze and then moved up her thigh.
She laughed and passed Jienne another spring roll.She put her hand over his and patted it.“Finish your lunch, sweetie.You are in for a long day.”
He grinned.“I look forward to it.”
“Yeah, well, when I left earlier, Caska and Ava were tearing a hole in Zera after we all finished chewing on the Elf Star Consortium.”
Jienne blinked.“We can talk about that?”
Khytten nodded.“Yup.All involved in the BDC here.I am guessing Sorooth is going to teach you how to keep barriers up no matter the situation.”
Jienne blinked.“Oh.Right.”
“We all have training issues that we need to get through, and it just makes you a better active.”Khytten smiled.“Survival is a helluva drug.”
Nelith nodded.“She isn’t wrong.I would really like to meet the other two.”
Kessie looked at her seriously.“Not until mango pudding.”
Sorooth glanced at Keska.“I blame you for that.”
“I accept the blame.”She patted his hand.
Sorooth looked around.“Anyone else aside from the dessert addicts?”
Nelith raised her hand, and Khytten as well.Jienne hesitated, and then her hand went up.
The desserts were ordered, and Keska smiled.When they came out, she got two, and Dmitri and Salat stared at her.Salat said, “Hungry?”
Kessie giggled.“Watch.”
Keska took a single scoop out of the centre of the mango pudding after she pulled the spoon from between her lips.She slid the spoon and the dessert over to Sorooth, and he grinned and destroyed the dish in four bites.
She ate her own dessert, and Kessie explained, “If they can’t kiss because they are in public or around my grandma and grandpa, then he steals her spoons.”
Dmitri looked at Sorooth and said, “Your family is not happy about her?”
“They want more grandchildren, and Kessie is exceptional, and for me, it must be Keska.”He smiled.“She marked me and everything.”
Keska smiled.“That was an accident.”
“But it was a lot of fun.”
She sighed and covered her face.“You are responsible for so many of the BDC regulations, it isn’t even funny.”
