and offered her neck. “Come on, bring me into your world. You’ve already brought me half way in anyway.”
Nikola laughed as did everyone on the porch, lightening the mood. Yes, he liked her friend, and would make sure she was safe in this coming world.
He stepped forward. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Leda. Lissa has spoken highly of you.” He bowed, and kissed her hand.
“Okay what are you? Are you a vampire too?” She pulled her hand back, and studied him.
“Will you hush, and no, he’s not a vampire. He’s a warrior fae. Now, I want you to meet Jaycee, Remi, Dane, and Mark. You will be interviewing Remi first, since many humans already know of him.” Lissa turned her around, and introduced the others outside.
Remi held out his hand and helped Jaycee up off the swing. “I can see why Lissa is so found of you. You are a spitfire, but don’t worry, eventually you will enter our world.”
Jaycee took the woman’s hand and studied her. “Yep, if I’m not mistaken you’ll join our circle. No wonder they wanted her here.” she glanced at Remi and nodded.
Lissa stepped in front of her friend. “No one is touching my friend, Jaycee. I was forced into this world, I will allow no one to hurt her while she is here. I don’t care whose wishes it goes against...”
Nikola pulled Lissa into his arms and held her tight. “Easy baby, no one wants to hurt your friend, and if she is part of this, it is her destiny as it is all of ours.”
Leda patted Lissa’s arm, and grinned at her. “No one is going to make me do anything I don’t want to, Lissa. Now are you going to tell me what the hell is going on with the sky?” She pointed to the air above them that swirled, but was now a steady glow of red with dark black spots in it.
Tug stepped onto the porch. “Dinner is ready and on the table.”
Nikola nodded and urged both Lissa and Leda inside, as he and Adonis grabbed her bags followed both of them.
“I swear Lissa, you were always lucky when it came to gorgeous men around you. Jeez look at his backside.” Leda elbowed Lissa, nodding to Tug’s ass.
Lissa leaned into Leda and whispered. “You do know they hear everything you say?”
Leda stopped, and stared at her, her face a bright red. “Shit, you did tell me that, didn’t you? Well, what can I say, they’ve got to know women would drool over them, for Pete’s sakes, they’re so hot.”
Tug laughed and bowed. “Why thank you, I’ll have to ask my mate if she likes my ass too?” Tug teased, when Cecil met them at the door way.
“That was not nice, and you have a fine ass. Now go help Clayton with Cade. He’s fussing up a storm with that tooth coming in.” Cecil kissed Tug’s cheek, and took Leda’s other arm, leading her into the dining room.
“All of our men are very attractive, but don’t you think what’s inside is more important than outside? I mean I’d hate to be stuck with a total jerk who knew he was good looking, no?” Cecil pulled out a chair, and nodded to Leda.
“Of course, you are right.” Leda frowned and glanced down at her lap as she sat down. “My fiancé was such a man, until something took him away. I might enjoy looking at Cecil, but I would never do anything. I’m here to do a job, and then I’ll go back to my children.”
Lissa glared at Cecil, and patted her friends arm. “Why don’t you and I go eat out on the porch? We can catch up on old times? Plus, you have to tell me about your children. I’ve missed so much.” Lissa glanced up at Nikola, and he saw the tear slip down her face.
His stomach tightened, as he made it to her side, and kissed her cheek, wiping the tear away. “We would all love to hear about the outside, and what is going on. We have a lot to discus, Lissa. It’s just going to take time for all of us to get to know each other.”
He turned and squeezed Leda’s shoulder. “I am very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what it is like to lose someone you love, and to
