Ashes drifted froar and should have fallen to the floor Disaster ensured they fell on Kane’s ar his skin

Tink pressed a hand against her heart "That’s so sweet of you to say, sir What a kind man you are"

Kane looked at her and did a double take She was serious, he realized, and she was gazing at Willia she’d ever wanted but had never really thought she could have Razors of jealousy cut through Kane and calmed the demon

"Did you hear stories about him, too?" he demanded

"No I can just tell you’re lucky to have a friend like hiritted "I’ve seen the bloody results of his temper tantrums"

"And I’ve heard of the bloody results of yours," she quipped

Willialad, because I have a proposition for you," she said to him

"No, she doesn’t" Kane squeezed her tight, silencing her

"Go on I’ht I left you in that club, I went looking for a key into Séduire," Kane said before Tink could decide to talk over him She was stubborn like that "All the while, you clearly already had one"

"Nah I would have flashed here, but I had to buy one for my kiddies," the warrior said

"By buy heto look over at them "And by steal I mean kill for"

Stated so simply, it was a testae lengths theseit

"Your kids--" even saying the word in conjunction with the powerful warrior felt odd "--were okay with co all over again, William waved the question away "You heard the part about the battle royale, right? No, they weren’t okay with helping you I had to promise they could have a real down and dirty braith you, with blood and broken bones and reat!"

Tinkto use her body as a shield to protect him The scratchy material of her unifor that thing?

Every glass on the table shattered, liquid spilling, warriors cursing

"When is this fight to take place?" Kane asked, unperturbed

"Have you not been listening to anything I’ve said?" Williaa e your spawn in a shon Tink--uh, I a s while everyone around her wore riches

Anyone who didn’t know Kane ht he planned to run away But William knew him better than that "And Tink is what you call her? Really? I would have chosen Ivanna B Withwilly What? It’s a good, solid nae hiritted, "the princess is your responsibility Don’t let her get into any trouble"

Williaht for a moment, nodded "You do reht?"

Yeah He did "I also know you’ll be teet to know her, but don’t har would protest, and Tink would be liable

"Soyou’re saying you won’t mind if I seduce your future wife?"

"I wouldn’t et in trouble, and they’ll try to make Tink bear the punishment So, feel free to flirt with her, even make out a little, if she wants, but no more than that" Synda would be amused, and stay out of trouble

Two birds, one kinky stone

William placed a hand over his heart "I think you just moved to the top of my best-friend-forever list"

Kane rolled his eyes, stood, and held out his hand "You got a revolver or semi I can borrow?"

"Borrow? No Pay to use for a short time? Yes" The warrior slapped a 44 in his hand "I’ll let you know the price tag later"

"Thanks" Kane stashed the weapon at the back of his waist and ushered Tink out of the bar Chairs scraped the ground, and he knew the threeto come after hi back, and then he’s yours"

JOSEPHINA HAD NO idea as going on "Where are you taking ? Without Synda?"
