“Not because it’s charming!” Fabia fires back.
“I think assholes can be charming,” Arienna says with a raise of her hand. “Especially if I get to peg it.”
I cough again. My queen winks at me. “It’s almost our month anniversary. I can’t wait to peg you.”
Jace laughs as I try to frantically remember what the fuck she’s talking about.
Nicholas, thankfully, is too busy arguing with Fabia to have heard her.
But I did promise to let her peg me in a month’s time in order to get her to marry me. And a fairy doesn’t go back on their word.
Fuck, karma is a bitch.
“But wait a sec.” Jace cuts into the arguing couple beside him, elbowing Nicholas as he holds up a card with a slipper on it. He’d gone through the deck to find it. “You’re not even Asian, so ‘This was invented by an Asian’ doesn’t even make any sense.”
Fabia opens her mouth. Closes it again. Then she shrugs with all the air of a criminal who isn’t admitting to nothing. “Look. I was drunk when I made it. I can’t explain the high workings of my mind unless you are also drunk.”
He grins. “Fair.”
“Now come on. Let’s play. I want to herd Karl into the gaping asshole cave and block the exit so it crushes him in a veryuncharmingway.”
“What the fuck kind of game is this?” Nicholas whispers.
“The best game ever!” Arienna shouts as she picks up the dice for her turn. Together, we hunt Karl across the board, cutting him down limb by limb until he drags himself into a dark cave.
Its walls slowly start closing in.
And he can’t crawl out fast enough.
In another turn, he’s crushed to death by some giant’s ass.
Sitting around the coffee table, with Arienna back on my lap and seeing Nicholas laugh until he cries – fuck, I don’t want this night to end.
This is what I’m fighting for.
My wife screeching with laughter.
My brother away from that toxic bitch.
And Jace – He still has that darkness that always lingers in him. But maybe once Raza becomes what Aurelia wanted it to be… Maybe… Just maybe... he can find some peace too.
Thirty-One
A good little slut doesn’t come while wearing her chastity belt.
Take it off! Take it off! Oh gods, take it off!

“I have been waiting for you to open your pretty, little eyes, my queen,” my king rumbles as he feathers his thumb over my lips. I smile lazily, sleep still blanketing my brain. When he forces his thumb into my mouth, I wake in an instant.
Oh no…
I got really drunk last night, and I always do dumb things when drunk.
How much did I tease him?
I don’t remember.
