The hour-long ride back to the palace was reinvigorating, and for the first time, I felt energized after training instead of dead on my feet. After the shared feeling of desire between my men and I, sleep was the furthest thing from my mind.

My body still pulsed with need. The warmth that had pooled in my belly and the heavy fog of yearning in my mind had never fully abated. Now I was awake, alert, and dying for physical contact. It was a challenge not to reach out to my men during the short walk from the stables to the royal chambers. I itched for it.

“Has Aisling come by yet?” I asked Kade when we entered the parlor, amused to find him sitting with Tiernan, our chess board between them.

Good. He needed the practice.

The Draconian shook his head, “No, not yet.”

It was getting late. Maybe too late for her to come by.

Alaric, sensing my emotion, gave my shoulder a light brush with his own, “She’s likely gone to bed. I’m sure you’ll see her in the morning.”

“Speaking of,” Finn said, “I’m exhausted. ‘Night, Liana,” he said to me, planting a swift kiss on the top of my head before leaving—a first for him. I wondered if the feelings I pushed into him had made him more confident since he now knew how I felt for him.

“Goodnight,” I said to his retreating form.

“You should get some rest, too,” I said to Alaric, moving to sit next to Kade.

Alaric grabbed my arm, stopping me.

“What—”

“Actually, I’m not tired. I’ll take the first shift. If you two want to um—go and see that Aisling has returned to her chambers,” he said with false worry for my healer friend.

Kade and Tiernan shared a look, before Tiernan sighed and stood from the table, “I’ll relieve you in a few hours,” he said before exiting the parlor, throwing me a wink.

“But, we aren’t finished the game,” Kade hollered after Tiernan.

When he didn’t get an answer, he added, “We’ll just say that I won then.”

I shook my head at the disgruntled bear before me. He rose to his full height, stretching as he did. His wings vibrating. It was impossible not to marvel at the raw, unadulterated beauty of him.

He gave Alaric a look I couldn’t discern before he strode from the room. “Have fun,” he called back to us and my stomach tightened, remembering how he could smell desire. I was ripe with it. Still aching from mine and Alaric’s lesson.

Alaric pulled a piece of hay from my hair, and brushed the stray strands back behind my ear, eliciting a shiver from my body.

“I like you like this,” he said in a low whisper once everyone else had gone.

“Like what?” I asked him, distracted by the way he still caressed my face, forcing me to meet his haughty stare.

He watched my lips, and I realized I was biting them again—a habit I needed to break. His adam’s apple bobbed, “Wild. Free. Your hair a mess and a blush in your cheeks.
