We all sat at the table—Declan at the head with Kara to his left and I next to her. Luka sat directly across from me with Nico at his side. The conversation stilled as the staff brought out the meal. Plates of various meats, vegetables, and potatoes filled the table.

“So, Sir Nico, I never asked, why are you here?” I speared a piece of meat on my fork and brought it to my mouth.

“Please, call me Nico, titles are reserved for the Crown Prince over there.” He jutted a thumb towards Luka.

“Okay, Nico, why are you here in the Star Court?”

He took a sip from his glass before speaking. “Just checking in on my brothers here, making sure they’re not getting into too much trouble without me.”

“And he missed us too much,” Luka added, shoving Nico’s shoulder with his own.

“What can I say, it’s a wolf thing, we miss our pack.” Nico shrugged. “And I figured Luka here was getting tired of drinking harpy blood.”

Luka shook his head, ignoring the remark.

“Luka, can I ask you a personal question?” Kara inquired.

“Sure.”

“Do different Fae’s blood taste different?” Luka’s eyebrows rose as did mine.

“Curious little princess aren't you,” Nico purred.

Kara shrugged, the tips of her pointed ears growing pink, but she didn’t cower. “I’m simply curious, we don’t have many vampires around here.”

Luka chewed, seeming to consider Kara’s question. I had to admit I was curious to hear the answer myself. I had studied about the different types of Fae growing up, but there was only so much information a book could detail.

“Every Fae tastes different—vampire, harpy, wolf, etcetera, they all have a distinct taste.” He waved his hand. “And every vampire has a preference of the kind of blood they prefer. I don’t tend to lean towards a species of Fae, instead I find that Fae with more power taste better.”

Fae with more power taste better. Like a Fae with all four elements? Did that mean he wondered what I tasted like? Did he crave my blood?

Luka glanced at me for a moment before turning his attention back to Kara. “I’ve also found that blood can taste different based on the circumstances it’s taken.”

Kara’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean, based on the circumstances?”

“He means that blood tastes even sweeter when he’s fucking whoever he’s drinking from.” Nico’s words echoed in the silent dining room.

My cheeks burned as I pressed my lips into a thin line. Did he truthfully drink from his partners while he fucked them? What would that even look like? I squirmed in my seat. What would it feel like to have his fangs scrape along my neck while he moved inside me? I clenched my thighs together. Or did he bite his partners in other places?

“I’m going to go and get some more wine,” I said before rushing from the room as casually as I could. When I entered the kitchen I braced my hands on the large wooden island. Trying and failing to steady my breaths and cool my heated skin as the door opened behind me.
