Queen of Stars
“Tyl was still nursing a drink on the patio terrace, halfway up one wall. Giving him a wave to indicate that the coast was now clear, Rigel tore off along the balcony, hoping the gashes on his back weren’t too visible. The alarm ring on his left index finger burned like fire. He gave it a twist to end the signal. When Avior had asked him about his stealth helmet earlier that evening, he had mentioned its name, Meissa, and that had activated it until the moment he took it off.
Why had he been nai...ve enough to step into Avior’s bedroom without realizing what she would expect? To add injury to humiliation, his frustration was already showing up as a sickening ache in his groin, just like when he’d tried to pass as a human boy with human girls. It had never worked. And although nothing more had happened this time, he felt a barrel-load of guilt. He had betrayed Talitha, despite all his protestations of love. They had sworn no oaths of celibacy, but the understanding was there. Her council was still trying to bully her into pairing with a highborn elf just to quash the rumors.MoreLess
