I didn’t think more blood could converge into his face but I’m wrong.

“I can flash you my boobs to even out the playing field, but you already saw them in your steam bath. And just in case you thought they were Behati’s, they weren’t.”

He rolls his eyes to the ceiling and counts to ten, then rubs a hand down his flaming face. “It’s proportional to my figure.”

“So, long and thin?”

He balks. “Thin?” He spits the adjective out as though it were the gravest insult to his person. “My cock is notthin.”

I smirk, which only serves to strengthen his scowl. “Since you’re Fae, I assume you’re not circumcised?”

Even the tips of his ears glow now. “No.”

I keep smiling. “Noted. Do you want to see my breasts again?”

He squeezes the bridge of his nose. “No.”

“Don’t look so nauseated. You’re going to give me a complex.” My comment is met with another unintelligible mutter. “Just in case you missed it, I have a birthmark on my pubic?—”

“I didn’t.”

I wonder if he ever mistook my body for Behati’s. Since I’m sticking to essential questions only, I set that query aside and ask, “Any birthmarks I should be aware of?”

His color is still high, like his irritation. “None.”

“Any tattoos?”

“Didn’t get a good look at my body the first night we met?”

“I was a little busy handing you your ass. Besides, your towel—unlike mine—stayed put. So? Any ink decorations?”

“Are you truly asking if I have a snowflake tattooed on my buttocks.”

I grin. “Yes.”

Though he still scowls, though his neck is still corded, his timbre mollifies when he says, “I do not.”

“Any scars? Or…?”

“Who will you be discussing the intimate details of my anatomy with?”

I shrug a shoulder. “Someone could challenge the fact that we’re mates.Again. I just want to have the best arrow to fit onto my bow in order to shoot down any doubt.”

He studies me long and hard.

“Relax, Vizosh. I’m not planning on bringing up your girth during book club.”

A slow swallow bobs his throat.

“Speaking of book club, what’s your favorite pastime?” I ask.

“Sparring.”

“With weapons or words?”

“Depends on my adversary’s wit.”

“Any other pastime you enjoy?”
