wasn’t a happy camper. Tanya shook her head. “Zane hasn’t touched me since you left.” “Why the fuck not?” He took a deep breath. She could tell that he was trying to calm himself. “What game is he playing at anyway?” “I don’t know why. He hasn’t…” It was weird talking about this with Brant. “You know, been with anyone else? I’ve been a bit worried.” Brant cocked an eyebrow. “Oh no, you’re not going to use me as some kind of bloodhound to keep tabs on him. You can ask him yourself.” Brant turned and walked in the direction that they had come from. She had to work to keep up. “Wait, Brant. I’m sorry. It was wrong of me.” “Damn straight it was wrong.” He stopped dead and she walked into his back. “It’s just, I was talking to Charlotte earlier.” His brow creased in confusion. “One of the females in Zane’s coven, and she said that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with two male vampires. She even offered her services.” He made a sound of frustration. “How many times do we need to tell you that we don’t want another female? I know I can speak for Zane on this one. We only want you. Neither of us will rut with another female. Yes we have a high sex drive but we’re mature males. If you are not available for whatever reason, we will deal. It might mean severe arm cramp but we’ll deal.” She choked out a laugh. “You don’t strike me as the type of female that would believe everything she hears.” He folded his arms. “Not normally. I don’t know much about vampires though. She was really convincing.” “I don’t want to get into it with you, but as kings we’ve had our pick of the females. We’ve had sex whenever we wanted and mostly with whomever we wanted. Don’t look at me like that.” “Like what? Like you’re a male slut?” She couldn’t keep the smile from her lips. Tanya realized that they had a past and had come to terms with it. “Okay fine. We were male sluts, but have since been reformed.” Tanya slipped her hands around his waist. “Let’s go back to the tower. You have to promise not to tear my dress.” “I can’t promise that.” “I’m not wearing panties,” she whispered. Brant growled dragging her in the direction of the castle, then he made a sound of frustration and picked her up throwing her over his shoulder. Tanya squealed. One hand clamped firmly on her ass, he picked up the pace and she couldn’t help but to giggle in excitement.
Chapter 5
Zane exited the vehicle. The elves were already there. Neutral ground. Wide open space for miles. An ambush of any sort would not be easy. Especially considering that the elves favored the bow as their weapon of choice. He felt out of sorts not having Lance at his side. Another few days and the warrior should be back on his feet. He had taken over fifty arrows to the chest and back. Four of those had been direct to the heart. It was a miracle that he had even survived. Zane had to suppress a growl. It was the elves that had nearly put him in his grave. He’d bet big money that this whole plan had been Katar’s. The wolves were too dumb to have come up with it on their own. The elven king called a welcome in his native tongue as they approached. His long robes flowed to the ground, they swayed as he stood. Zane was shocked to see the grey at his temples and how he hunched slightly. The big male at his flank was the spitting image of his father. Katar must have looked just like this male when he was in his prime. Tall, plenty of lean muscle, hair that shone like pure spun gold. The male wore a silk robe, as was customary with the eleven species. Thank fuck he hadn’t been born a pussy. On occasions like this, he much preferred leather and the measure of protection it afforded. The king must’ve caught him staring. “This is my son Keto and my daughter Esral.” Zane felt himself relax as he turned to face the female. If Katar had brought
