I sauntered over to them both and let my eyes travel up and down Lord Alyxsander. Then without even a glance over at him, I said, “Keion, get out of my room. Alyx, take off your damn clothes and bend over my bed. I’m going to fuck the shit out of you.”
Chapter Seven
Alyx
I had to fight to keep the smile off my face. He was so beautiful, even dripping wet with his skin covered in chill bumps from the air conditioning. He was haughty and arrogant with his anger too—a true prince and royal to his bones, but he wasn’t even aware of it. I had to hide my smile, or I tried to.
He saw it though and his face flamed red with heat. “Don’t you dare smile at me like you find me ridiculous!”
“I’m not and I don’t,” I said quickly, but he wasn’t having it. He stopped about eight feet away from us and struck a pose that seemed to come naturally to him with one hand on his hip, his head cocked, and one foot slightly out to the side. He looked bad tempered, troublesome and sullen, not to mention beautiful. His incredible eyes were flashing, and his body was as naked as the day he was born. I don’t think he had any idea how sexy he was.
But while I was amused and turned on and still figuring out how to reply. Keion reacted quite differently. He got angry. He took a step toward Kailar with his fist clenched. That was a sign of how upset he was over this situation with Adan, but it still made me fly up in anger. I shoved in front of him and snarled at him.
“What the fuck, Keion? Don’t threaten him. He’ll tell us—just give him a chance.”
I glanced back at Kailar, and he was looking surprised. He had never seen this side of my brother before, nor had he seen his quick anger, especially when it concerned Adan. Guilt was riding Keion hard and making him act like an asshole.
“It’s okay, babe,” I told Kailar. “He’s not going to hurt you.”
Kailar lifted his chin and looked even more lofty and arrogant if that was possible. “Oh, I know he’s not. I’m a grown man now, boys, and not one of those children you once intimidated. I’m not that half-dead creature you found at the Unemployment Office either, Keion. Are you thinking you can beat me in a fair fight? Bring it on. I’ll give you more than you bargained for. And don’t even think about trying your magic on me. I have my defenses back now and my own magic. I won’t hesitate to use it.”
Keion jammed his elbow in my ribs, and I let out a startled groan. He shoved me out of the way to take another few steps toward him, but I saw Kailar’s eyes flash. Oh, he didn’t like the idea of Keion hurting me. It was foolish to let something so small give me some hope, but I have to confess, it did.
“Don’t you dare touch him!” Kailar shouted, his own fists clenching and his gorgeous blue-green eyes sparking with fury.
“I have no intention of attacking either of you!” Keion shouted. “I just need to know if you found Adan!”
I didn’t like all the yelling Keion was doing, but I knew how my brother felt, because before I saw him, and before I had him back with me, I’d been the same way about Kailar.
I held out my hand in appeal to him. “Please, babe. If you know something about Adan…could you tell us?”
“Since you asked nicely, Alyx,” he said looking straight at me and ignoring Keion. “And didn’t try to demand answers, I’ll tell you. Yes, I found him, Of course, I did. We’re twins and bonded. I’ll always be able to sense him and go to him wherever he is and the same goes for Adan. But it’s not good news. Beathag has him.”
“What?” Keion lost all color in his face so quickly I thought he would pass out. He literally staggered as his knees buckled, and I had to catch him before he fell. Even Kailar looked a little sympathetic.
“He’s not injured,” he said quickly, though a little sullenly, like he still didn’t really think Keion deserved to know. “No thanks to you, and whoever you tasked with taking care of him. But he will be soon if I don’t go to him.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, glancing over at Keion, who was just getting a little color back in his face.
“He was enclosed in an iron cage and had an iron chain around his waist. You know what iron does to the Fae people. He’s getting weaker. He begged me not to come back, because he said Beathag would kill us both. But of course, I’m going.”
