Chapter 17

I pulled back the tent's curtain and blinked, mildly staggered by the scene before me.

The inside was more spacious than the outside had hinted at, and a subtle pink glow illuminated the space, giving it an almost romantic feel. A silk crimson blanket was spread out on the floor, and plush pillows dotted the place, acting as makeshift chairs.

As if that weren't enough, Blane, Camilla, and Zane were in the middle of a three-way make-out session, completely oblivious to our arrival.

I cleared my throat and crossed my arms, trying my hardest to keep from chuckling. Or getting turned on. I might've failed at both.

Camilla sat up and straightened her hair while the twins adjusted their junk, so they weren't saluting us with their cocks the whole meeting.

"Storms," she said a bit breathlessly. "We waited for a while, but we weren't sure you'd come."

I grinned. "So, you figured you would instead?"

"I had every intention of making her come," Blane muttered darkly.

Chuckling, I glanced around our group, which was actually quite large in comparison. My guys and I looked relaxed as ever. Bria and Orion were smiling, but their features were tense. Veda glared—as was typical of her—while Verron and Barret remained expressionless.

Rafe, though... he looked like he'd just swallowed a hot coal. Sweat broke out across his brow, and he kept gulping like he couldn't quite breathe.

"You all right?" I asked him under my breath.

He turned to me, eyes wide, and shook his head.

He wasn't clutching at his throat or thrashing around, so I assumed there was no immediate danger, but still, he was worrying me.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know," he whispered back, glancing over to our foreign... friends? enemies? I didn't even know. Blane and Zane exchanged a curious glance, but said nothing.

I frowned but figured it could probably wait until after the meeting was finished.

Camilla cleared her throat and adjusted her gown. "Please, take a seat. If you can in all that armor. You look good in metal, you guys, but are you seriously planning on fighting?"

I sat down and crossed my legs beneath me. My metal clanked but the joints were spacious enough to allow me to move freely. "Aren't you?"

Camilla gestured to her gauzy pink gown. "In this? Hell no. Besides, if something happens to us, who would rule our kingdoms? I thought for sure you'd be smart enough to think the same."

Rob chuckled darkly and ran a hand through his hair. He was still standing. "We didn't want to go down without a fight. And we didn't want the people to fight for us but not beside us, so we made the decision to suit up."

"A stupid decision," Zane declared immediately in a casual tone. It seemed he wasn't trying to pick a fight, just stating his opinion, but Rob glared anyway.

Camilla picked up on his attitude right away. "Oh, give it a rest, Storm. He's right. You guys shouldn't be fighting in this war. Your people need you alive if you're going to overthrow King Zacharias and bring peace to your kingdom.
