Chapter Sixteen

Sebastian

Jack didn’t seem remotely flattered by Gluronk’s interest in him. It was amusing to watch him pretend a fascination in the conversation going on around him, and the copious amounts of food on offer, just so he could avoid so much as glancing in her direction. It was quite an impressive feat given that she’d seated herself directly in what should have been his eyeline.

The female orc clearly wasn’t pleased with Jack’s rejection, a pronounced frown on her face and lines marring her brow.

To be honest, I could empathize. After all, hadn’t I pretty much done the same thing? I’d taken one look at Jack and decided that he was the one for me, that my casual liaisons had been brought to a sudden end by one green-eyed farm boy. Not that it had been that easy, since it took far longer to convince Jack of that fact, and at times you could be forgiven for thinking that he was still fighting it. But he was here, and he wasn’t going anywhere.

Just because I would fight tooth and nail with anyone who thought they could take Jack away from me, didn’t mean that I was going to miss the opportunity to wind him up, though. With that in mind, I brought my lips close to his ear and kept my voice low, the room full of the raucous sound of orcs feasting. “She can’t stop looking at you. She really likes you.”

Jack went still. “Shut up.”

Biting my lip to stop from smiling, I pressed on. “She’s pretty. Don’t you think she’s pretty? Skin as green as a leaf. Eyes as yellow as a sunflower. And those teeth. Imagine feeling those teeth on your skin, Jack. I hope she’s careful with them when she sucks things. I’d hate for a certain part of your anatomy to suffer any damage.”

Jack gave a shudder, my smile escaping despite my efforts to hold it back. Luckily, Jack’s gaze was fixed on his plate. “You’re not funny, Sebastian.”

“Just think what your union could do for orc/human relations. You could be, I don’t know, an envoy or something. You could learn the language, and—“

Jack made a noise a little like a growl. “You’re very lucky that orcs don’t do cutlery.” They didn’t. Whatever the food was, they ate with their hands, table manners nonexistent. “Because if I had a knife in my hand…”

My grin grew wider. I’d never get tired of how passionate Jack could be, or how easy he was to rile. “What would you do?”

“I’d get creative with it. Model your cock into something else.”

“Interesting! Wouldn’t that mean you’d miss out, though? Because you really do enjoy my—“

Jack turned my way, his glare enough to reduce most grown men to tears. “Shouldn’t you be sorting out the”—he threw a glance over at Grat, only continuing when he established that Grat was deep in conversation with one of his sons—“the unicorn problem?”

“It’s all in hand.” It was. I’d been keeping a close eye on the unicorn.
