Cree cornered him in her bedroom later when he was preparing to go out. “Why don’t you stay tonight? Azhra’s taking the couch, but we’ll have privacy in here. There’s an important meeting, and I’d really like you to see what we’re about.” Cree kissed his neck as he cleaned off his eye paint before her mirror. “And I have purely selfish reasons too, of course.” She paused and looked at his reflection. “Cillian, you told me you were of age that first night.”

“Actually that was in the morning, after you’d had your way with me.” He flashed her a wicked grin.

“Cillian.”

“You didn’t specify what age you wanted me to be of, Cree. I’m well past the age of marriage. My older sisters married at thirteen.”

Cree’s eyes darkened. “The age of marriage for a woman, you mean. The age our fathers sell us off. You’d still be sowing your wild oats if you were a man.” Despite her glowering looks, he was pleased she seemed to have forgotten that technically he was one.

“Besides, I told you, I’ve been a working girl since I was twelve. You could hardly take advantage of me. How much less innocence were you looking for?”

Cree made a face at him the mirror. “Maybe Ume Sky is beyond corruption, but you, dear Cillian, aren’t quite as worldly as all that. I have an overwhelming urge to take care of you.”

“Well, Master Sylva—” Cillian loosened what remained of the chignon, “—there’s no charge for that.”
