NATALIE

I should want to throttle Ro for the embarrassing comments, but there’s not a lick of anger in me. Despite the fire raging beneath my cheeks, I’m not truly embarrassed either. I can give her a little shit, though. The world wouldn’t be right if I didn’t.

“Hey, brat,” I say, dropping onto the couch, facing her. That’s the extent of my giving her shit. As soon as I hug her, all I have are sappy feelings. “I’ve missed you.”

“Ditto, snore.”

Tears prick in my eyes at the use of our younger-years’ nicknames for each other.

Squeezing me tight, Ro whispers, “I know it’s selfish, but I hope you fall in love with him and decide to stay.”

It wouldn’t take much to fall for him. Heck, it’s already happening. Which is bonkers and unlike me. I need to slow down. I just don’t want to. “Let’s focus on making the most of the next couple weeks.”

“Right, of course. We’re going to have so much fun, I promise.” Her nose is rosy and her eyes are glassy when she sits back. Ro’s not the weepy type. Her red hair bounces wildly as she shakes her head. Then her usual sassy expression is back. “Introduction time!”

Aside from wrapping his massive arms around her, the orc beside her doesn’t react when she climbs onto his lap, wiggling and grinding as she makes herself comfy. Now that I’m truly face-to-face with her fiancé, there’s no denying that he is, in fact, an orc.

“Dak, this is Nat. Nat, Dak.”

The huge green monster nods at me. “Nice to finally meet you. My Rosetta speaks of you frequently, with love and admiration.”

Ro said he’s possessive, but the way he says my Rosetta seems worshipful. No red flags detected here, either.

I smile, aiming for one that’s normal-ish. Not that anything about this is normal. “It’s nice to meet you, too. I’ve heard a lot about you, all very good.”

Constantine chokes back a laugh while setting the drinks on the coffee table.

I bite the inside of my cheek because I know he’s thinking about the stuff I alluded to during our phone conversation—that Ro likes to tell me spicy stuff about Dak. Now that I know what the guy looks like, it casts those details in a whole new light. Because Dak is huge. Usually, I just listen and giggle when Ro tells her sex tales. Now I have logistical questions.

There’s not much space between me and the armrest, but Constantine takes it, rather than sit on the fully available other branch of the L-shaped couch. I scooch over, toward Ro and Dak, but Constantine’s hand on my hip halts additional movement.

One of Ro’s ginger eyebrows rises and a smile curves her lips. No mystical mind-meld bond required to know her thoughts. She thinks it’s a done deal. That I’m one good Minotaur dicking away from calling Fate’s Falls home forever.

She might be right.

Heat from Constantine’s body seeps into mine, increasing when he leans forward, his chest pressing tight to my back while reaching for a drink from the table.
