Lightning

The shocked expression flashing across Kathryn’s features at Mirome’s casual remark was the last thing either of them saw as the door was slammed in her face.

Lightning gave their host a measured look. As wise as their old teacher may be, he had never been above pettiness, and Lightning was fairly certain he had purposely tried to hurt the human bold enough to give him attitude. Judging from the look on her face, it had worked.

As much as that place behind the ribs where the magic connecting him to Kathryn seemed to be rooted throbbed to soothe his temperamental little human, he couldn’t deny a certain level of satisfaction in knowing that the thought of them with other women did, in fact, hurt her. He hadn’t managed to figure out exactly what his possessive urge to hover around her 24/7 meant, but the volatile instincts awakened with his marking of her definitely appreciated that she didn’t want him to sleep with someone else.

Unless, of course, her jealousy was reserved for The Shade.

Lightning gave his enemy a resentful side-glance as the three of them walked down the corridor toward Mirome’s private chambers. Why the city’s most feared villain wasn’t terrified of the obvious pull to the girl was beyond him, but it was irritating as all hell. Bad enough that he was obviously competing for her affections with his archenemy—the chance that he was losing was real.

No one spoke until the door to Mirome’s lavish office closed behind them with a smooth click. Their host turned around by his desk, fingers pressed against each other and a small smile gracing his lips.

“So. Shall I call on a couple of girls? The tension rolling off you two suggests it’s most certainly needed.”

“No.” Lightning frowned at The Shade, irritated with his echoed denial. If he’d opted to fuck another woman, Lightning had a sneaking suspicion his favor with Kathryn would have dropped drastically. But no. The one time in his life the goon opted to do the right thing obviously had to be when his normally moral free approach would have been most welcome.

Perhaps The Shade was also plagued with a complete disinterest in any female anatomy not occupying Kathryn’s deliciously rounded body.

Fucking mark.

“How very interesting.” Mirome’s eyes sparkled ominously behind his extravagant mask. “And I suppose this sudden lack of need to fuck anything that moves is related to your recent and rather embarrassing public claim on the fat little spitfire sulking in my basement at the moment?”

“Don’t even think about insulting her.” The hissed words came from The Shade, but the low, threatening growl resonating in the office originated from Lightning’s own chest.

“My, my. So fiercely protective. Does she know how lucky she is? I bet she doesn’t. I bet you two don’t even understand what’s going on.”

Lightning clenched his fists and swallowed the angry sound. “We’re not here to discuss her, Mirome. We need to know what you can tell us about Bright.”

Mirome’s face lit up in a playful smile. “You don’t! Ha, I bet that must be driving you both mad.
