OBSIDIAN CONTINUED TO SHOW PENELOPE AROUND THE first floor. The laundry, the main-floor office, access to two additional staircases as well as exits. After he’d given her a glimpse at the indoor pool, they returned to the kitchen, then onward to the back of the house. He hadn’t intended to give her a full tour, but Obsidian had sensed she needed a distraction from the information she’d ascertained. For whatever reason, she was not keen on the idea of the Fae being used in a sexual manner.

Then again, humans viewed sex a bit differently than they did.

“Dare I ask where your private quarters are?” Penelope said after he’d shot a text to Taayin, informing the lieterra he needed a bit more time before their meeting.

The male shot a message back, assuring him he would be available whenever they were ready.

“The house was built specifically for our needs,” he informed her. “My brothers and I each have our own private quarters on the third floor.”

“Three floors?”

“Yes.”

Tugging her toward him, Obsidian started down the hall that led to the back staircase.

“Where do those go?” Penelope gestured toward the stairs leading down.

“We have an underground facility. Training space, weight room, recreational area.”

“But no elevator, huh?” She giggled softly. “Then again, probably not necessary with that whole poofing thing you can do.”

The teasing tone had him peering her way, noticing the glint in her beautiful gold eyes. The fact that she was joking lightened his steps. He’d seen the concern, felt it even, for the fact that he fed from Acadia. He’d also seen the way she recoiled at the thought.

Granted, had Obsidian been in her shoes, he wasn’t sure he would have handled it as gracefully as she had.

“There are two elevators,” he informed her.

“Of course there are.” She took a deep breath, followed him up the stairs, beyond the second floor, and up to the third.

He motioned to the left. “There’s a theater that way, as well as access to the veranda. And over here,” he continued, leading her to the wing on the right, “my brothers and I occupy this space. We each have our private quarters, but we have our own separate living room and game room.”

Obsidian paused, using his palm print to unlock the door.

“Why does it require security?”

“Our lieterras have access, but it’s mostly for our privacy.”

Once they’d made it through the door, it sealed shut behind them and he sent a text to Taayin, informing him to update the security to include Penelope’s prints and iris scan for all secured areas.

Obsidian smiled when he heard the familiar sound of Zeus panting excitedly. When they turned the corner into the open living room, he saw both dogs sitting obediently.

“Meet Zeus and Aphrodite,” he told Penelope, followed by a command for both to come to him.

Tails wagging excitedly, they both trotted over, then sat once again, staring up at Penelope as though she was the only light in their darkest days.

“They’re beautiful,” Penelope said reverently, her head turning to him briefly.
