Vax nuzzled back. He
whispered in Bacoj’s ear, “I’m not really mad. I like our bodyguard.”
“I can tell.”
“I mean, I like
him, Bacoj. Don’t you think he’s hot? So huge and muscle-y. Imagine him naked.
I know I am.” Vax’s mischievous grin spoke volumes of what he was
contemplating.
Bacoj glanced at
Japohn to see if he’d heard. The Nobek wasn’t looking at them, but his face had
reddened significantly. Bacoj choked off a laugh at the other man’s
embarrassment.
Vax snuggled hard
against him. He made no pretense at subtlety as he tried to persuade Bacoj to
give him what he desired. “Let’s take him back to the inn with us.”
The Dramok, enjoying
Vax’s attempts to convince him, along with Japohn’s discomfort, pretended
innocence. “Of course. He’s staying there anyway. We’ll no doubt encounter him
at breakfast too.”
“Nooo, Bacoj. I want
to take him to our room. Don’t you have an urge to wallow all over all that
Nobek and discover if he’s big everywhere?” In his drunken state, Vax’s voice
rose loud enough for half the bar to hear. Many heads turned in their
direction. Japohn, who was sipping his kloq, choked.
Bacoj couldn’t hold
off the laughter any longer. “Oh, what the hell. You can invite him spend the
night with us.”
Vax kissed him
passionately in gratitude. Japohn appeared simultaneously elated and as if he
wished to hide under their table.
Preparing for war. Fending off a vengeful
stalker. It’s the perfect time for romance on Kalquor.
In
one day, Dramok Bacoj realizes his cherished dream only to have it snatched
away. Then he meets the perfect man, Imdiko Vax. Unfortunately, Vax is a firm
believer in career before love, so he’s unavailable for courtship. Or is he?
Fending off a vengeful stalker, he turns to Bacoj for help, and discovers a
romance he can’t easily set aside.
Nobek
Japohn is all the protector a clan could hope for. However, the young warrior’s
personality isn’t geared toward working well with others. Yet when he sees the
handsome pair of Bacoj and Vax in the sort of trouble only he can save them
from, long-shattered hopes rise anew. Maybe he can be part of a clan, if
they’ll only give him a chance…
…and
if a lunatic bent on murder doesn’t kill them first.
