Chapter 49

WILLOW

A dinner commences, and a bonfire roars to life in the middle of the clearing. The women eat, drink, and dance while a group of five tap away at conga-like drums or play melodies through flutes.

Maia and Minka run in the clearing with other girls, playing tag, or using sticks as pretend swords. The shops are now closed, and everyone has gathered here to cap the night.

Women young and old flit around with chatter and laughter, and it’s like one big family reunion—only Caz and I are the outsiders. We don’t belong, but the women of Kessel don’t make us feel that way. They give us food and plenty of wine.

Carra tries getting me to dance with her, but I shake my head with a smile, and she shrugs, finding another woman to dance with.

“She wants to lick your pussy, you know?” Caz says with his eyes ahead.

I nearly choke on the swig of wine in my mouth. “Excuse me. What?”

“Hassha says the women here serve each other, and that the whole rubbing of the feet thing…well, it’s done when someone develops a great respect and admiration for another in Kessel. So yeah…Carra there, wants to fuck you.” The flames reflect off his blue eyes as he sits forward with his elbows on his thighs.

I’m not even sure what to say to that. First of all, it’s the bluntness of his statement that caught me by surprise. He said it so casually, like he told me his favorite color was blue or something.

“Well…” I clear my throat. “That’s…interesting to know.”

He glances at me. “You wouldn’t let her, would you?”

“What? Caz, no!”

“Good. Because I can’t fight off a woman. But if that’s something you want, well…who am I to stop it?”

I laugh as he drops his arms to pick his wine glass up and bring it to his lips. “Wow. You are seriously so jealous.”

“Hey, what’s mine is mine. Besides…” He sighs, leaning back on the log we’re on and spreading his legs farther. “It’s the Tether that makes me so territorial of you. I think of anyone having their hands on you other than me, and I want to rip them to shreds.”

Caz places his wine glass down while I polish mine off and shoot to a stand. “Come dance with me,” I insist.

His eyes slide up my body before shifting to the women around the fire. “Don’t you think Carra will be offended that you turned her down if she sees us dancing?”

“Don’t change the subject! Come on.” I grab his hand, tugging on the tips of his fingers.

“Willow,” he laughs. “I can’t dance.”

“You can’t, or you won’t?”

He eyes me, head going into a tilt. “I’ll make a fool of myself. None of these women want to see a man dancing.”

“Who cares? The point of dancing is to have fun, let go. Be careless.”

He looks toward the fire, then lets out a long breath as he swings his eyes to mine again. “Very well.”

“Yes!” I cling to his hand and lead the way toward the fire with a wide smile.
