As we returned to our rooms that night, Kira touched my arm. “Jasin, are you all right?”
I glanced away. “Yes, why?”
“You were quiet during dinner. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you get through a meal without making a joke or saying something a little inappropriate.”
I lifted a shoulder. “Wasn’t in the mood.”
She took my hand and pulled me into her room, then shut the door. “Tell me the truth. What’s bothering you?”
I sighed and sank onto the edge of her bed. “Auric’s parents.”
“What about them? You don’t trust them?”
“No, nothing like that.” I dropped my head, feeling foolish. “They’re being so supportive and understanding even after Auric ran away, broke his engagement, and told them what he truly is.”
She sat on the bed beside me and rubbed my back. “And you’re remembering how your father turned us in to the Onyx Army.”
“Something like that,” I muttered. “Trust me, it would have been even worse if they’d known our goal was to overthrow the Dragons.”
“I’m sorry. This must be difficult for you.”
“I’m happy for Auric, but it’s a bitter reminder that I’ll never have a family like that. My parents always tried to mold me into something I’m not. They never supported what I wanted, and then they betrayed me. Now I’m not sure I’ll ever see my parents again. If I’m honest, I’m not sure I want to either.”
She wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my shoulder. “You’re right. Auric is a lucky man. My parents are gone, as are Reven’s. Yours turned against you. And Slade’s…” She paused. “I have no idea about his parents. But either way, you’re wrong about the rest of it. You do have a family. You, me, and the other men—we’re in this together for the rest of our lives.”
I snorted. “The other guys? We barely get along.”
“Isn’t that common in all families?” She pressed her lips to my cheek. “One day maybe your parents will come around. But if not, please know that you’ll always have us.”
“All I need is you,” I said, sliding my hand into her hair. I lowered my head and covered her mouth with mine, tasting her sweet, soft lips. My tongue slid across hers as her breasts pressed against my chest, her fingers digging into my arms. Through our bond I felt her desire flare bright, and I wondered if she sensed how much I wanted her too. No, not wanted. Needed. Ever since being chosen by the Fire God I’d been burning up inside, and Kira’s touch was the one thing that sated me.
I tilted her head back and left a trail of kisses from her jaw to her neck to her collar. She wore that tempting green gown she’d gotten from Brin, and I slid the straps off her shoulder one at a time. The silken fabric slipped down her skin and pooled at her waist, revealing full breasts and nipples already hard for me. I cupped them in my hand
