He laughed at her smart fucking mouth, sitting and draping her legs across his lap. “Hating ass. Don’t ask for none of my fish when I catch it either.”

Her laugh soothed his soul. She leaned forward and cupped his cheeks, kissing him. “Good evening, my love.”

Swiping his tongue between her lips, he pushed inside, deepening their kiss. The sound of an approaching speedboat interrupted them. The enforcers hidden on the boat came out, their eyes trained on the intrusion.

‘Settle,’he ordered his men.

He knew exactly who was coming to visit. They melted back into the shadows of the approaching night and Levi turned his attention to his queen.

“Cover up, baby doll. We got company.”

She pouted, a sexy moue of her lips before lifting a dress over her head. Magic vibrated through the air, and both theirheads raised. Above them, a dragon soared, keeping watch as it had for the past three days they’d been out on the yacht.

“That will never not be amazing,” Amaya whispered.

Levi stood and helped Amaya out of her lounger. They walked aft, awaiting the occupants of the speedboat. Nathanial Latham and his son Khalil tied down their boat and climbed aboard. Levi waited patiently for them to reach the upper deck.

“Your Highness,” Nathanial greeted as they joined them. He nodded to Amaya with a smile. “Queen.”

“What was so urgent it couldn’t wait a few more days?” Levi asked leaning against the railing.

“We didn’t come to interrupt your vacation, but since you’re floating in our territory, I figured we may as well update you. Saves us the trip into Black Hollow, and my wife would like the two of you to have dinner with us before you leave to go back to Georgia,” Nathanial told them.

“We would love to!” Amaya said.

‘Would we?’

She snickered.‘Yes, King. We can’t fuck nonstop for seven days.’

‘Says who?’

Amaya hit his chest with a soft chuckle.

“Have you cleared the northern borders?” Levi directed to the Lathams.

“Of course,” Khalil scoffed. “We’re working on the western border as well. Lucian let a lot of shit slide that we won’t.”

His answer reassured Levi. “Do you foresee any issues?”

“Not once we knock a few heads off,” Khalil said.

“Son,” Nathanial chided.

“Just saying, Pop,” the mage added with a shrug.

Levi appreciated the way the family operated, so he knew the shit would be taken care of.

“How long will y’all be out here?” Nathanial asked.

“I promised my queen a full week with no work.”

Khalil grinned. “The king is whipped.”

“And is,” Amaya answered with a wide smile.

The four of them laughed before Khalil and his father looked up at the circling dragon. Nathanial tilted his head before nodding.

“Anything I need to know?” Levi squinted at the sky.
