“Something for the dessert table.It’s an experiment.Don’t worry about it.”She waved it off.

There was a cackle from inside the kitchen.

Krys moved them away from the sound of the amused goblin, and they returned to the yard when the trucks with the tables arrived.Wedding prep was underway.

Neekil looked around with a grin, bowed, and headed for the shadows.

Krys sighed and looked around at the thirty round tables, eighteen oblong tables, the sweetheart table, and the cake table.

Tomorrow, all the linens would be placed and the tables set, but things were so much easier with the tables and the endless stacks of chairs set on the side.Tomorrow was soon enough to cast the solid air spell on the grass to give everyone the feeling of grass, while not sinking into the grass.

Krys chuckled as she looked at Vaia.“The best thing about this is that I just go to bed, and tomorrow, here I am.”

“And you give us room to be newlyweds in the morning.You are an excellent housemate.”Azreen chuckled.

Reynal took her hand and walked her into the great room, where the mantlepiece held court.He slid a hand into her hair and kissed her.He smiled.“Benko is making me that statue in miniature.”

She blushed.“You are going to keep it in your office?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely.”

She looked up at his tawny skin, the smile, and the dark expanse of his eyes.She caressed his cheek and used a grip on his neck to pull herself up to him.

The kiss was intense, and she was breathing hard when he finally lowered her to her feet.

He stroked her hair back from her forehead.“If you had an idea of what I wanted to do with you...”

She smiled, stepped back, and held her hands out, one over the other, until the upper hand gripped the lower.

He shuddered.“Yes.”

She grinned.“Keep a good thought.”

“You don’t want to wait for a wedding?”

“Reynal, I am already a representative of control and focus considering my family history.”

He grinned.“So, you would not have an issue anticipating the wedding night?”

“I think if you are going to commit to something, you should get some practice in.”She watched him lean toward her.“But not when I have to work the next day.”

He growled softly, his eyes glowing strangely for orbs so dark.“So, after tomorrow night?”

“Uh, you are going to be busy showing that dignitary around, right?”

“He can manage on his own.”

Krys chuckled.“So, then logistically, my place or the Grunwald mansion?”

“I think the mansion will do.I will run it past Vaia.She will figure out a way to distract Azreen.”

She could see the couple just behind his shoulder.Azreen lifted his wife in his arms, and Vaia gave a thumbs-up as she was carried off.

“They were behind me.”
