Chapter Nine

Alexis

“This is some bullshit right here,” I mutter as three overly muscled warriors haul my wooden trunks into Dexar’s rooms. The qatai raises his eyebrow from where he’s sitting at the table eating breakfast but keeps his eyes on whatever he’s reading.

“You made a bargain,” he reminds me, and I grit my teeth.

“I like my rooms.” Yes, I’m sulking.

Dexar finally raises his head. “You’ll like these better. This is for your own safety.”

“There’s no reason to think that anyone else would hurt me. Nara wasn’t in her right mind.”

“Regardless, you made the deal. In front of hundreds of witnesses, I might add.”

“That was underhanded, by the way. If you wanted me in here, why’d you have to bargain in front of everyone else? Now they’ll think I’m sleeping with you.”

I kick out at a padded chair, and Dexar grins.

“You are sleeping with me.”

“We may be sharing a bed, but I’m not having sex with you.”

“Yet.” He pushes back from the table and prowls toward me. “You’re not tumbling me yet.”

I attempt to ignore the way the muscles in my lower stomach clench at the heated look in his eyes. That way lies madness. How can I possibly be so damn charmed by this primitive barbarian?

“You’re not as sexy as you think you are,” I mumble, and he flashes me a wicked grin, stepping even closer.

The bells ring, announcing a visitor, and Brix appears.

“Zarix has returned, qatai.”

My eyes widen. “Is Beth with him?”

Brix nods, his mouth quirking. “A human female has traveled with him, yes.”

I grin at Dexar, and he raises his eyebrow. “I’ll have Beth sent to you,” he says.

“I’m going to go work in the other kradi,” I say. “Can you have her meet me there?”

He nods, and I smile at him.

“Thank you.”

My thoughts are racing as I make my way to the small kradi I’ve designated as my office. My map hangs on the wall, and I study it. I have no idea whether Dexar will actually let me travel to the dragon’s territory.

He stipulated that the favor could be anything as long as I didn’t leave. Technically, this would mean leaving the camp even though I’d be returning.

I chew my lip. Dexar is tricky. I should’ve been more specific with my wording.

“Hey!”

I turn and jump to my feet, wrapping Beth in a hug. “How are you? How’s your leg?”

She glances down at it ruefully. “Well, I’m off the crutches, and I’m slowly strengthening it. I’ll never be a professional dancer again, but that’s kind of a moot point now.”

“It is?”

She smiles. “Yeah. I’ve decided to stay here. Zarix and I are planning to have a mating ceremony just as soon as we round everyone up. I want everyone to be there together, you know?”

Wow. First Nevada and now Beth. And then there’s Ellie all knocked up back at Rakiz’s tribe. These girls are dropping like flies.

I grin. “I get it. I’m so happy for you. Not only are you in luuurve, but you’ve just helped me win a very important bet.
