Chapter Eleven

Checking one last time, I thumped the back of my black boots and watched as the silver knife slid out of the toe, the tip extra special. Perfect. The oldies were always the goodies. Leaving our bedroom, I brushed my hands down my black blouse with the curved neckline and relished wearing my black leather pants, which I hadn’t worn in some time since being here. Knowing the other spirits would be dressed all in white, it was my own way of sticking up my middle finger at them. I was running a few minutes behind, making sure I had all of my weapons hidden perfectly on my body, and a few tissues in my pocket, so I walked briskly to the Shifter section where dinner was to be held.

Entering the formal, large dining room decorated in a mixture of brown and black, a motif of old elegance with dark woods and two large crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, I took a quick inventory of those already here. Which seemed to be just about everyone, sipping on cocktails and talking amongst themselves. I first spied Sin, who I had heard rummaging around in our room briefly while I was in the shower, and he was dressed in casual black dress pants and a black shirt with a thin green tie, appearing unharmed.

And, like normal, I skimmed right over Brann, who was speaking to Aria.

Next I found Leric where he stood with King Collins and Queen Cooper. He was wearing a pair of white trousers with a silver cuff at the bottom, with white leather flip-flops — honestly, I wasn’t sure if he had ever worn shoes before. This went with the thin cotton, collared white shirt that was actually buttoned, kind of — the top three were undone, revealing a goodly amount of his tanned hard flesh — and a white leather twisted necklace tight against his muscled throat. Pathetically, I realized the outfit actually suited him, a kind of Caribbean-meets-professional style, and fuck, he wore it well, everything stretching exactly where it should, and loose where it needed to be.

Nostrils flaring, I pulled my attention away from him, catching Sin glancing at me. He rolled his eyes, obviously having caught me ogling for too long even as he spoke with Queen Ruckler. I wrinkled my nose at him but glanced to my right and found Roselle where she was speaking to London. I blinked, watching as London darted to the side when she laughed at something he said and reached a hand out to his arm in what appeared like natural affection. London was having none of it as he murmured something to her, deftly evading her hand, all while gallantly refilling her glass. My lips twitched as I saw Roselle watch his movements with a knowing eye, but she kept her hands to herself after that, holding them at her stomach. She was wearing a white, tasteful, baby doll summer dress, the straps thin, and she also wore white flip-flops, but these were wedge-styled and definitely more feminine than Leric’s.
