“Sure are, you and Floatsam will be drowning in them before long, attractive devils that you are. I’ve got a bone to pick with that Nephele though, ‘take your pick’ my ass. The desert seems a bit lacking in men.” There was a big black gladiator with potential, but still he was only one potential lover, hardly a host to choose from. She grinned with a side-eye glance at Ralik. “Small wonder they were so eager to snap you two up.”
She caught the sweep of his eyes and felt a familiar thrill rush down her spine. Though they’d decided to let their affair be a short-lived one, it didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy being admired. Damn if those green eyes don’t get me every time. “Hmmmm…” came her purring sigh at his words and she rewarded them with an affectionate lean into his body with hers. “Careful now, I’ll almost think you’ve forgiven me for being so cross.” She kept her tone light, knowing he’d be delicate without drink. The poor little dear.
