“I’m sorry he hurt your heart and made you cry. I promise to be very careful with it.” Tor dipped his head and nuzzled close to my ear. “Just like I was careful feeding my cock into your very small pussy.”
My eyes nearly popped out of my head, and my gaze wildly swept over the nearby fey. A few of them flashed a grin at me before looking away.
“Tor,” I whispered. “Knock it off.”
“Merdon spanks Hannah when she misbehaves. Sometimes she likes it. Sometimes she does not. Would you like to spank me? I might not like it.”
I snorted, not believing him for a minute.
Then, I understood what he was doing and turned in his arms.
“You’re a sweet man, Tor, but I don’t need you to distract me from thinking of Adam anymore. He made his choice, and I made mine. I chose you, and you healed my heart.”
He grunted and gave me a playfully sly look.
“You can still spank me.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
“Excuse me. June?”
I turned toward the sound of the voice and found a woman watching us. A light blush painted her cheeks, and I wondered just how much she’d overheard.
“Sorry about that,” I said. “Can I help you?”
“Hi, um, maybe? My name’s Sam. I was wondering if you two would consider letting me live with you when Matt rearranges things. I’m not looking for a free ride,” she said quickly. “I just…” Her gaze flicked to Tor then back to me. “I’d like to know what it’s like to live with a fey without having to commit to one.”
I struggled to keep the grin off my face at the number of fey who were avidly watching her now.
“Honestly, Tor and I have a house in Tolerance and weren’t thinking of staying here.” Her expression fell. “But it’s not a bad idea,” I added, glancing back at Tor. “What do you think?”
“Matt would need to—”
“I think it’s a great idea,” Matt said, having overheard. “You’re both welcome to live in the house June’s been using.”
I focused on Sam again. “You should talk to Emily about what it’s like living with a fey and human couple before you decide anything,” I said, thinking of how she’d been wearing her headphones to block out the sounds Hannah and Merdon were making. “The fey are very open people.”
She nodded thoughtfully. “Thanks. I’ll talk to her.”
Matt joined us as she walked away.
“Do you mind staying here?” he asked.
“No,” I said, speaking for both Tor and me. “We started the change, and we said fey were welcome here starting now. It’s the best way to show that we’re serious.”
“I like how you keep saying we. I wouldn’t mind the help.”
I looked at Tor. “What do you think?”
“I don’t care where we live as long as I’m with you.”
I tilted my head, offering my lips. He kissed me hungrily, and I heard Matt chuckle before walking away.
Since Ryan was taking the deserters to the bunker and there was no supply run going out, the usual gang returned with us to help us move our things from Tolerance. Not that there was a lot, but what Tor had accumulated I didn’t want to leave behind. He’d spent time collecting the games, food, and clothes, and things that were once easy to purchase, but now required hours of searching and potential risk. Each item he had mattered.
“Can I live with you, too?” Scath asked as he carried a tote filled with blankets downstairs.
“I’m saying this with love, Scath—”
