Chapter Twenty-Eight

Licking my lips, I prepared myself for a fight when I heard angry, quick strides approaching my voliki.

Blowing out a long breath, I leaned further back in the bathing tub, my arms draped along the edges, as I fixed my gaze on the entrance flap in anticipation. Beneath the water of my bath, my cock hardened, resting against my belly.

She didn’t bother to announce herself, as was expected. Anyone else would’ve been punished for it and she knew that.

Instead, she pushed underneath the entrance, her gaze flicking around my voliki, a frown on her lips.

Then she froze, her eyes going wide, when she found me lounging in the bath, my gaze fastened on her, waiting for her to speak.

But she surprised me.

I’d expected her to spin around in embarrassment. While Dakkari were not shy about nudity, Maeva had always been so, though she’d been raised Dakkari.

Except she didn’t break my gaze. Instead, she acted as if she hadn’t stormed into my voliki while I was bathing and, after clearing her throat, demanded quietly, “Where is my voliki?”

My seffi wasn’t so unaffected by me, however. I spied that dark flush rising in her neck. The same one I’d commented on earlier this morning, when I’d stroked her soft skin there, and tormented myself with thoughts of licking her there, of biting her there, marking her as my own.

“I had it taken down,” I murmured, shifting slightly in the bath, drawing her gaze to my chest.

“But why?” she asked, blinking, frowning. A knot of tension loosened in my chest at her presence. Just looking at her pleased me.

Vok, she was beautiful. Her expression was maddeningly bewildered and innocent. As if she hadn’t yet realized my intentions.

“Go eat, seffi,” I said, gesturing over to the low table filled with platters of food. “You must be hungry.”

She was still wearing the clothes she’d gone running in, though she also wore her furs, which Hinna must’ve retrieved for her before I had her voliki dismantled.

“Nik,” she said slowly, her eyes barely gliding over the table before returning to me. “I want to know what’s happening.”

I blew out a short breath, raking a hand through my wet hair. I had been asking myself how to tell her without her wanting to kill me in response. Maeva was independent, which I had always admired. While she’d always had a streak of independence growing up, it had morphed into something entirely different now and I wasn’t sure how to go about this.

“Are you…are you sending me away?” she asked softly.

A sound of disbelief left my throat.

“Nik,” I growled, my body tensing at the words.

Just the thought of her leaving sent discomfort shooting through my chest. On the rim of the bathing tub, my fists clenched.

“Then…” she trailed off, licking her lips. “Neffar?”

“I’m debating how to tell you in a way that won’t cost me my deva when you cut them from me,” I informed her, the corner of my lips ticking up.

Her flush deepened though she demanded, “Tell me now.
