GETTING RECCO DRESSED had been an uphill battle, but he’d finally cooperated. As Daide had suspected, Zoe was nowhere to be seen. Nor would she appear until the ceremony. Some customs crossed cultures and species, and the one where bride and groom remained separate was damn near universal. Although he’d had little time to spare, Daide had jumped in the shower and changed clothes. Peering at himself in his cabin’s small mirror, he slicked his hair back, not bothering to gather it into a single rubber band or braid it. Satisfied he was dressed adequately for the occasion, he turned to leave.

A knock on the door was followed by Karin poking her head inside. “Oh good. You’re decent. Ready to go?”

“What if I were indecent?”

“We might miss the ceremony. Not a good idea.” She sucked in a breath. “The sea gods are here. I swear, Poseidon and Viktor almost got into a knock-down, drag-out fight.”

“Let me guess. The sea god wants to do the honors.”

Karin nodded. “Exactly. Viktor drew a line. Said it was his ship, and if anyone was going to do the marrying for his oldest friend, it would be him.”

Daide leaned forward. “Did Poseidon back down?”

“They compromised. Viktor will marry Aura and Juan. Poseidon will marry Zoe and Recco.”

“Good thing we had two couples, huh?” Daide’s gaze swept over Karin. Dressed in her black robe with runic markings on it, she’d left her hair unbound. Swinging in curls, it hung past her waist.

“Do I pass muster?” Her mouth twitched into a smile, and her scent rose, enveloping him in forests and greenery and something unique to her.

“More than pass muster. You’re gorgeous.”

He closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her. When she turned her mouth upward, he kissed her. She threaded her arms beneath his and spread her hands across his back as she returned his kiss. Her nipples hardened against his chest, and desire surged. Familiar heat filled his nether regions, and his cock thickened. Never one to indulge in masturbation—not since he’d passed twenty or so—he’d brought himself off more in the past couple of days than he had in the last fifteen years.

She butted her hips against his and broke their kiss. “Soon, but not right now. We need to get moving. There’s work to be done before the ceremony, and precious little time.”

He held her close for one more long, delicious moment before letting go. “No matter how much time we spend together, I never get enough of you.”

She laughed and tugged the cabin door open. “The litmus test will be if you’re still saying that a few months from now.”

“Sounds like you think we might have a future.” He kept his tone light, but her answer meant everything to him.

She raised a white brow. “Oh. Did I say that?”

“Not in so many words, but yes.”

“Well then, it must be true. Or maybe I’m being swept away by all the wedding energy.”

“Enough to want to join them?” Daide couldn’t believe he’d said that, but he couldn’t take the words back.
