Page 19 of Unrestrained

Taurus’ halberd appeared in his hand. “Should I call for more guards?”

Stellar dipped his chin. “We’re too early in the stage of our mating and are easily distracted. While I know you’re more than enough and I, too, am a warrior, there’re powerful beings in that clinic. We should be smart.”

Taurus gave a short bow before heading for the door.

Stellar laughed. “You no longer bow to me, babe.”

Taurus tossed a smile over his shoulder. “Habit.”

Stellar shook his head. He couldn’t stop smiling. His gaze slid toward Stygian. He caught Stygian staring at him in a way that took Stellar’s breath. His black eyes held so much hunger mixed with love that Stellar was completely captivated. He couldn’t look away.

Later.

Stygian’s mouth lifted in one corner into a smirk at Stellar’s promise.

Four guards appeared in full armor. They tapped their halberds once, signaling their readiness.

“Let’s go.” He unfurled his wings and flapped. The motion shot tiny stars and opened a doorway between realms.

Taurus swept his arm, as if swiping open a curtain, and Frost’s clinic awaited. The guards surrounded them on all sides as they stepped into the human world. An alarm blared the moment the first foot hit the grass.

Stellar sighed. With a single thought, the sound was silenced.

“Holy shit. That was sexy. Your eyes turned a lighter shade.”

Taurus glanced Stygian’s way at the comment. “I know, right?”

Stellar rolled the eyes in question, but there was no stopping his smile.

Vampires swooped in, looking poised to fight. A large vamp with the look of a Viking stepped forward. “Prince. What can we do for you?”

Stellar eyed him, attempting to read him. There was nothing except a stone wall blocking him. “Odd. Not even a name came through.”

A smile exploded across the vampire's face. “My name is Leif. It’s a lot politer to ask.”

“Apologies. I’m accustomed to knowing everything. We're here to seek Frost’s assistance in a matter of health.”

Leif waved an arm toward the door. “Then welcome. The doc is in.” Leif’s gaze slid Stygian’s way. “Maybe not you, though. What are you?”

Stellar went completely still. His fury hit the roof. “He is my mate. That’s what he is, and you’ll treat him with the same respect afforded to me. You may not answer to me, but make no mistake, my powers could shake this whole damn town to the ground.”

Leif didn’t look cowed in the least. “Did you know your eyes changed color for a second?”

He felt Taurus' and Stygian’s smiles. “It’s hot, right?” they said simultaneously.

Leif chuckled and shook his head. He stepped out of their way. “I don’t believe Frost is busy at the moment.”

Stellar dipped his chin.

As a group, they headed for the door. Inside, a demon sat behind the desk. He glanced up. His eyes widened. His body leaned forward as if drawn toward their scents. Fairies attracted most species. They dripped sex and stirred desires. “Now, how can I help you?” His voice dripped with innuendo.

His closest guard responded on his behalf, sparing him from having to converse with a demon. “The Prince is here to see Frost.”

“Frost!” The horny demon shouted the name at the top of his lungs.

Lysander’s mate, Stone, appeared at the mouth of the hallway, looking annoyed. “How many times have I told you—” Stone stopped dead as he realized who waited. “Prince Stellar. What brings you…” Stone’s gaze fixed on Stygian. Rage twisted his features. “You. How dare you step into this clinic? Why aren’t you restrained?”

“You’re in no danger from me.”
