Chapter 24

It took several weeks to get the whole gang back together, but when they finally had it organized and arranged, the crew of the House of Flames and the House of Storms all gathered together in the backyard of the Storm compound. Krista and Penelope arrived, rubbing their rounding bellies and being doted on by their mates. Hanish and Kian stood at the grill, flipping hamburgers, steaks, and hot dogs over the flames. JoJo smelled the scent of grilling meat-and-vegetable shish kebabs, and her mouth watered. She was absolutely starving. As she waited for dinner, she sat down beside Aria and Winnifred.

“Look at the cover art Winnifred painted for the next album,” Aria said, holding up a poster for JoJo to examine. It portrayed a dragon riding in a spaceship.

JoJo giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. “Don’t you think it’s a bit literal?”

Winnifred laughed. “It’s hip and ironic.”

JoJo smiled at the women who’d become her friends. “I love it.”

“Our tour will be coming to an end soon, and we will be back in the studio to record and write the next album.” Aria seemed relieved to be coming home.

“It will be nice to be home,” Winnifred said. “Aiden and I do prefer a quiet life, after all.”

“I can’t wait to spend time with Dax,” Aria said. “Just the two of us. Being on tour does make it hard to have our private time together.”

“How do you think it went?” Penelope asked, leaning over the table as she sipped her iced tea. “With buffering the human race with your magic.”

“I think the effects are even greater in person,” Aria said. “But what we really need is that vampire vaccine.”

“We’re still working on it,” Flora, Penelope’s sister, said. “Now that I’ve finished my doctorate, I can dedicate my full attention to the project. I’m going to be coming to live at the Flame house, but we are also working here in Zephyr’s lab. He has some instruments we don’t have on our own ship.”

“With the baby coming soon, it will be helpful to have you around,” Penelope said, rubbing her stomach.

“Does that mean you’re going to be around here more often?” Raiden asked, giving Flora a big smile.

She returned his grin. “Yes, it does.”

It was obvious to everyone that the two had an attraction for each other, but every time anyone asked Raiden about it, he said they were just friends. Zephyr came outside and spoke in low tones to Flora, Cato, and Yuki. Then the four of them stood and left.

“You’re going to miss the barbecue,” Penelope called after them.

“We’ll be right back,” Flora called over her shoulder before disappearing through the patio door and into the house.

“They’ve really ramped up the work lately,” Penelope said. “I do hope they find the vaccine before the baby comes. I need Cato’s attention.”

“I know how you feel,” Krista said. She was starting to really round out under her long, flowing dress.

Penelope laughed and snorted, making her laugh harder. “You have three mates.
