An epic hot shower with amazing water pressure later, Camry pulled on a pair of sleep shorts and climbed under the covers. His body sank into the mattress, and he felt as if he were being cradled in a cloud. As Camry fell asleep, he feared he would be ruined forever by experiencing just this one night at the gargoyle estate.

Chapter Seven

Tasker felt the knife sink into the flesh of his forefinger, and he hissed, more from being startled than from being in pain. He dropped the knife and quickly moved his bleeding hand away from the pile of potatoes he was dicing. Grabbing a hand towel, Tasker quickly wrapped it around his injured digit.

“You okay?” Kort asked, stopping beside the counter beside him. He glanced from the potatoes to Tasker and back again. “What happened?”

“Knife just slipped,” Tasker claimed, watching Kort move the knife, which still had traces of his blood on it, to the dirty dishes sink.

“Yeah, right.” Kort smirked at him. The deep red gargoyle was the second in command of the kitchens and had the right to boot Tasker out if he didn’t get his act together.

“I’ll be more careful,” Tasker promised. Due to his increased gargoyle healing, he would bet his finger was already healed beneath the towel, but he hesitated to remove it until Kort moved on.

“Heard you found your mate,” Kort commented, sounding way too casual. He glanced at him side-eyed. “Where and when? Human?”

Kort knew he couldn’t lie, and he would never deny his mate, anyway. “I did.” Thinking of Camry, he couldn’t help but smile. “He’s gorgeous. Toned from dancing, and bendy.” Sighing deeply, he recalled some of his mate’s moves, wondering how long it would take before he could put his mate’s flexibility to use in bed. “So bendy,” Tasker whispered.

“You’re such a horndog,” Twilden cut in with a sneer. “You want your mate for one thing. Sex.” Glaring at Tasker, the small yellow gargoyle asked, “You gonna compare his dick to Beldrew’s, too? Maybe I should warn him that your brain-to-mouth filter is shit in bed. He—”

“Twilden, that’s enough,” Kort snapped harshly. His blue eyes flashed with clear warning as he snarled, “You know the law. Coming between fated mates is taboo.”

Twilden crossed his arms over his lean torso and jutted his chin out belligerently. “How do we know this human is really Tasker’s fated mate?” His eyes narrowed as he mused, “He spotted him at that strip club. Maybe he’s just horny since me and Beldrew have refused to touch him. I’d be doing this guy a favor by—”

“Chieftain Maelgwn and Second Tobias have already met with Tasker and his human,” Kort snarled, revealing he knew plenty more than what he’d been letting on to Tasker. “Do you honestly think they would allow that kind of subterfuge to continue if Tasker wasn’t telling the truth?” Without waiting for Twilden to reply, Kort ordered, “You have dishwashing duty for the next week. I’ll make the necessary scheduling changes shortly.” Pointing at the pile of dishes still needing to be done, the chef stated, “Better get started.
