“Thank you,” he answered when she couldn’t speak. Pride in his mate filled him, filtering through their mental link.
“You are more than welcome.”
“So,” Rat drawled from behind them. Bruised and bloodied, he leaned against the remains of the altar next to Sellers’ body. “Do I get a snazzy name as well?”
Baby lifted an eyebrow, her expression unreadable. Chase hid her smile, almost feeling sorry for the demon.
“There are many names for you Raterrenh, but not many of them are fit for polite company. Although,” she inclined her head toward him and Ris. The Seer was now on his feet, his wounds no longer bleeding, which reinforced Chase’s suspicion that he was far more than he appeared. “I will concede that I owe you and your companion a debt of gratitude for aiding my champions in ensuring my survival.”
“Champions? Scale-boy is a champion now is he?” Rat chuckled. His skin had returned to its normal hue and the horns and tail were nowhere in evidence. His expression dropped serious. “So, debt. How about dinner?”
Chase shook her head at the demon’s daring and reached out with a tentative mental query.
Er, your ma—
Yes, Chase,
Baby answered before she could finish the query.
Please get your mate to take you home. I’ll deal with the rest of the clean-up here.
Chase sighed in relief, gratitude filling her mind. Without asking, Duke swept her up in his arms to take her home.
“You can tell she’s royalty just by the way she holds herself,” Duke commented, sliding into the seat next to Chase at the top table. Since this was his brother’s wedding, they’d been seated next to the bride and groom and Duke had been forced to give a speech. One in which his deep loyalty and love for his brother had shone through brightly.
She turned to look the same way and nodded. Baby, the new queen, was on the dance floor with one of the werewolves from Duke’s work. The wolf was teaching her to dance, and, by the looks on their faces, flirting an awful lot.
“You can. Her mother moved the same way. The women in her bloodline have always been graceful and elegant,” Chase managed to wipe the envy out of her voice, just. Baby, who still hadn’t settled on her adult name, was tall and blessed with an abundance of curves whereas Chase still thought she looked like a boy at times.
Believe me, love. You look
nothing
like a boy
, Duke assured her, his mind sliding into hers with ease thanks to their established link. To prove his point, he fed her a series of erotic images from the night before. From his point of view.
Chase blinked, heat building across her cheeks and surging through her veins, turning to look at him in surprise. The woman in his memories was sexy, and sultry...a seductress of the highest order. With significantly more sex appeal than Chase had ever owned.
You see me like that? Seriously?
Duke smiled and she didn’t need the link to his mind to read the truth and love in his eyes. Reaching up, he smoothed a loose strand of hair back from her face. “I do. I always will. How about we get out of here, and I’ll prove it to you.”
She giggled, the soft sound one she wasn’t used to from herself and stood, holding out her hand. “Now, there’s an offer I can’t refuse.”
His chuckle joining hers, Duke swept her off her feet and carried her from the hall, leaving the revelry behind to prove to her that an old warrior could learn new tricks, and to love and be loved, for a lifetime.
