   Summary

   Synopsis

   Parapet from Xaden and Lilith’s POVs.

   Xaden

   What’s this? My inntinnsic abilities pick up on something fun. I’m the most exquisite man she’s ever seen, eh? Clearly she doesn’t know who I am, or she’d be properly terrified like everyone else. Still, it’s nice to be admired without any prejudice for a change.

   “Ready for the next one, Riorson?” Well, fuck. Way to spoil my fun, Garr.

   I mourn the loss of those delicious thoughts, turning from lust to shock and finally, fea—not fear, anger. Interesting. Who—?

   “You ready for this, Sorrengail?”

   My pulse leaps. She’s here. Gaze snapping up, our eyes lock, and…

   I have to remind myself to breathe.
