Chapter 19

“I don’t want to go to another party.” Lindsey whined and knew it yet refused to change her tone. Nothing good came from socializing with people who didn’t like her.

“It won’t be so bad this time,” Baruk said.

Lindsey should have known the quiet over the last few days after her confession was a brief respite. She pushed at the food on her plate, appetite gone.

“No one’s going to hurt you, Lindsey, and get away with it,” Zadal declared.

Her head snapped from Baruk to Zadal. Where Baruk’s stare contained arrogance and his comfort in the power his name wielded, Zadal’s stare contained more. Much more. His brown eyes glowed with an unholy light and his fingers clenched and unclenched.

“Does it have to be a party?”

The corner of Baruk’s mouth curled up. “This one will only be very close friends and my family. They’ll make you feel welcome.”

Lindsey wasn’t sure about that. “Can I invite anyone?”

Both frowned though only Baruk answered, “You can invite anyone you want. Make sure Kimsha has the name for the invitations.”

Zadal wasn’t so subtle. “Who are you inviting?”

“Welsin. And his wife and husband.” Since the party seemed like a done deal.

“Welsin?” Zadal repeated.

“Spouse partner,” Baruk corrected.

Lindsey ignored both comments. “I like Welsin and want to meet his family.”

“Of course,” Baruk instantly agreed, rubbing her shoulders.

“Fine.” She exhaled. “One more party. Then can it just be us?”

Zadal stared. Baruk’s gaze darkened. “After this, you will not have to endure anyone else in our home unless necessary. I’ll make Kimsha aware.”

Lindsey relaxed even more. “Thanks, Baruk.”

He caught her fingers. “I promise any future guests list will be culled accordingly. People will either respect you and Zadal or they won’t be welcome.”

She could see Baruk caught Zadal off guard with his last remark as well. Kissing both husbands on the cheek, Lindsey gave in. “Fine. Enjoy your politicking and I’ll see if Kimsha can help me choose a dress for the party.”

Then she left.
