I knew she was safe inside her tent. I’d resisted the urge to go look for her because I’d known Marcus was with her.
Dev gestured to our tiny bathroom and I could hear the hum of the shower. “He’ll be out in a minute. Is Summer comfortable? I don’t suppose she’s bunking down with Kelsey.”
I rolled my eyes and plunked myself on my faery prince’s lap. “No, babe. She’s with Marcus, and hopefully these tents are soundproof because I don’t think they’re going for celibacy.”
His jaw tightened. “I noticed she didn’t have a mark on her neck.”
If she didn’t have a mark it was because they’d completed the ceremony. She’d taken his blood. “It was inevitable. I can see the attraction between them. I know you feel it. It was as inevitable as we were. You and me and Daniel. Can you make it easier on her than it was on us?”
We’d had a lot of hurdles to jump in the beginning, and most of them had hit Devinshea. It had taken a long time and many years to get my father perfectly comfortable with my Fae husband. Once we’d had kids, Dad was suddenly all about the threesome. I didn’t want Summer to wait so long. Especially since Marcus wasn’t going to bring in a third so they could have children.
Although I did know some nice guys.
“All right. I’ll go easy on them. She does look happy with him. But I’m now worried about far more than her choice in a mate.”
“I know.” What we’d learned from Charlotte Taggart had shaken me. If she was correct, it meant Erna would definitely be back because she wouldn’t leave that source of power behind. Kelsey had told me what she’d seen and what Dean had felt from the witch. It was only a matter of time, and we needed to be ready. If we hadn’t been close and had the skills we’d had around us, she would have gotten away with Summer. “I’ll feel better when we’re in Tír na nÓg. According to the Dellacourts we should be safe there. They said the palace is locked down when it comes to dark magic.”
“I’ll be happy, too, because hopefully someone knows how to get back to the Earth plane.” Dev wrapped his arms around me. “If not, then we have to hope one of the Planeswalkers will be grateful enough to take us.”
“I don’t think it works that way.” Daniel walked out wearing nothing but a towel around his muscular body.
And I felt my faery prince’s interest rise.
I wrinkled my nose his way. “Seriously? I’m sitting on your cock but he walks out and suddenly you’re ready to go.”
One hand tightened on my hip and his other hand ran up to cup the nape of my neck. “Well, now I’m in the same space with the two people I love most in the world, and you know how I like to show my love.”
He shifted and I felt exactly what he wanted to give me.
And I had to admit that Danny looked good. Danny was my All-American hottie, with broad shoulders and muscles for days. I adored his sandy blond hair and those blue eyes that never failed to make me catch my breath.
“I do know your love language.” I kept my eyes on Danny and how low that towel was riding on his hips. “It’s been a while since I got a lesson in it though.”
Dev leaned in and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. “How about we make up for lost time? Tell me, my goddess, would you like to make a baby?”
I wanted that more than anything. I wanted another chance. I’d lost that precious time with Summer, and I wanted another shot. I knew it wouldn’t be the same. I could never get back that time with her, but Danny and I had another chance, one we never thought we could have.
“Dev, we need to talk,” Daniel said quietly.
Dev leaned over and brushed his lips against mine, softly, but I could feel his magic start to warm my skin. My nipples peaked, tightening with delicious anticipation.
Before we’d been forced to this plane, we’d been having a dry spell. I’d been working on Kelsey’s wedding, and Danny and Dev had become Myrddin’s professional ass kissers, which hadn’t endeared me. Then there was the fact that we had three kids.
