I hate lying so I choose to stay silent with my brow cocked. I'm giving the cunning prick ten seconds to start talking or I use my newfound gifts on him.
Lifting one finger, I begin counting and as each finger lifts, I let my pretty black flames lick on each digit.
Mayfly chokes on his drink at little as I count, "One, two, three, four..."
"Fucking hell, Crow. Put the flames away. I'll tell you what I know about Merelda but I want something in return."
Draven chuckles before pouring himself a drink and sitting back like he's enjoying the show.
"What is it you want?" I ask warily. If he asks for a blowie, I'll bite the thing off. Yep, definitely have a thing for dick removals.
Mayfly smiles salaciously and licks his lips like he's about to eat a full course meal at a five star restaurant and I'm internally groaning. I used to think Mayfly was stupid handsome and while I still do, this wicked man does nothing for my lady parts.
Draven looks like he's hoping the Nymph says something disrespectful so he can tear into him but I have an inkling that the fucking twinkle in Mayfly's eye has nothing to do with me.
"I have a feeling you’ll bring me what I seek most."
The fuck?
I stare at him for a moment, waiting for the weirdo to elaborate but he waits for me to agree. This guy is nuts.
Draven's eyebrows are practically in his hairline as he holds the cup to his mouth, like the ominous response made him pause mid drink.
"Well, do we have a deal?"
"What kind of information are we talking here and what is it you seek most?"
Mayfly bellows with laughter like a maniac and I'm seriously questioning his mental stability at this moment until he opens his mouth and practically throws Drug a life preserver.
"Why, I'm offering you her location and as for what I seek... That's my business." That last part is said with the face of the deadly man he is beneath his charming exterior.
Whatever.
"Fine." I take his hand and seal the deal.
