Zander had never taken an evening stroll. He’d run through the streets, fought in them, killed in them, but he didn’t remember a time when he’d ever walked with no true destination in mind. He checked the horizon. The late-summer sun was sinking. In another hour, he’d need to leave Austin and hit the streets. Part of him hated waiting for nightfall, wanting to track down Tanek’s killers. Part of him loved the hours when his hands were tied. He could focus on Austin.

“What does Jules look like?” Austin asked, glancing over her shoulder.

“She’s petite, has flaming red hair and the temper to match.”

“She seems tough.”

Zander chuckled, thinking how many of the men at the club were afraid to cross her. “She’s fearless, a wonderful mother, and loves her husband more than one man deserves.”

“Why is she allowed to know about and be married to a daemon? She’s human.”

He stopped them at the lights and waited for the pedestrians crossing. “At first, Rayvn hid their relationship—he’s a Dragon, a rare and dying race. When Jules got pregnant, Rayvn told the Darkworld counsel. That was a huge deal. Female Dragons have long ceased being fertile and everyone pretty much excepted their extinction as inevitable. No one is sure what enabled Jules to carry a Dragon offspring but that’s what tipped the scales. They made an exception.”

“Can’t we discuss an exception for us?”

“No. Nephilim live lives of servitude. We don’t warrant an exception or any chance of a life outside our duty. The Choir won’t allow it.”

They walked in silence for some time, Zander weaving them on a meandering route back to the club. He was in no rush to leave her and hit the streets. He smelled her sad frustration but there was nothing to be done about it.

She wrapped her arm around his back and leaned into his side as they walked.

“Ice cream?” Zander pointed to the Cold-Stone Creamery sign. “Since we’re tackling the hard questions, we might as well arm ourselves to take the edge off the heat. Hard or soft?”

Austin’s worry softened to a grin. “Hard, no question.”

He pulled her closer and gave her a gentle grind. “I like the way you think.”

“Careful, Mister Ambrose. I might start thinking you’re a one trick pony.”

“You haven’t scratched the surface on my tricks, darlin’.” Her frustration dissipated, replaced by arousal. He moaned and slid back into Kyrian’s jacket. “Later. Right now we’re a regular couple out getting ice-cream on a hot summer night.”

After a heated debate about the magic of sherbet and the evils of gelato, they stepped back into the streets. He watched her absorption as she chased the rocky-road, dripping down her waffle cone with her tongue.

“So what upset you earlier?” he asked.

Her long ponytail swayed as she shook her head. “Nothin’ you need to worry about. Best we enjoy the time we have left.”

“Or we could have a meaningful conversation and get to know each other better.”

Austin licked her ice cream, indecision warring on her beautiful face.
