“It’s a risk,” she said honestly. “And I cannot guarantee your safety.” Gabriel touched her cheek. “Surely there is no danger as long as I’m with you.” “That’s not necessarily true.” “Well, surely there is no danger as long as I’m with your hot husband.” Tem’s mouth fell open. “That’s not true either. He can’t-“…

“You are Tem’s friend,” he said calmly. “There is no need to bow to me.” Gabriel smiled. Caspen turned to Tem. “Did you tell him the risks?” “Yes, I did.” Tem neglected to say that she doubted he cared. “No flirting.” Gabriel piped up, nudging Tem with his shoulder. “Right, boss?” Caspen raised an eyebrow….

Tem squared her shoulders, looking her husband straight in the eye as she said, “You will lose me if you crest him.” Smoke was coiling up Caspen’s shoulders. The line between arousal and anger had always been a thin one for him, and Tem could sense in on him now. His voice was deathly quiet….

And Tem couldn’t blame them. “No one is going to volunteer to bleed for you.” “It’s not just for us,” Leo said quietly, his first words in minutes. “It’s for…

“He’s the head of the rebellion, Caspen,” she said quietly. “If we can get him on our side, it would help. It could change everything.” Caspen turned to the fire. Tem brushed her fingers along his shoulders gently, savoring the hard muscle beneath his skin. Even now, when they were talking about something serious, she…

“What’s that supposed to mean?” “The royals are just the beginning. The snakes are next.” A chill ran down Tem’s spine. “When will it be enough?” she whispered. The wind was picking up now, howling down the alleyway. Gabriel stared down at her, his eyes gleaming in the darkness. “When they give back what they…

Tem. I am not angry that you have a connection with Apollo. But you seem jealous. I am. I don’t understand. Do you…like being jealous? He stroked her clitoris.
