Remnant snorted hard and her emerald eyes blazed. “Do you still feel the need to fuck anything and everything in sight?” She watched me grimace and snorted again. “That’s what I thought.”
“How did you know that would work?” I groaned out, bracing on my hands and knees to gain some composure.
She shrugged and extended her hand. “I didn't.”
I released a stream of curses that would have had my father fucking blushing, and begrudgingly accepted her assistance to stand.
Remnant snickered and patted my shoulder with mock sympathy. “There there, shifter. You are stronger now for it, little pet.”
I barely paid her jab any attention, assessing the water fae around us with astonishment. “Just to be clear, I am seeing this correctly…this isn’t still the pearls working?”
Remnant followed my gaze to a grouping of painted sapphic water fae erotically pleasuring one another. The subservient male of their pod was being shared in a frenzy of lust while being sodomized at the hands of his female counterparts.
Everywhere I looked, water fae were succumbing to the pleasures of flesh, gyrating to the hypnotic beat in an all out orgy.
Remnant’s lips pursed with amusement. “Welcome to the Three Moon Festival. That,” she pointed to a lone poor male humping at anything he could find, “was exactly what you looked like a short while ago.”
I ran my webbed hands through my hair. “Thanks for sparing me the shameful act, but I had better still have a functioning dick when we get the Sheol out of here.”
Remnant smirked before shaking her head. “I still don’t understand why in the goddess you drank it, shifter.”
I gave her a glare. “Because I thought you had!” I growled and shook my head. “I wanted to make sure that—” I stopped myself. “Forget it. What exactly is your plan here?”
Ignoring my question, her eyes narrowed on me. “You wanted to make sure of what exactly?”
“Yes, what did you want to make sure, fairy boy? That you were as stupid as we all thought?”The cat chuckled, his laughter now subdued to smug amusement.
I ran my webbed hand through my hair again, irritated as fuck. “To give you my trust.” I snarled at my open confession before sighing. “You don’t have to do any of this alone. I will always be here for you, little umbra.”
The cat’s amusement died and was replaced by something I never felt from him before. Sympathy. My hands fisted at my side, I didn’t fucking need him to feel sorry for me.
My confession, however, had the opposite effect on Remnant.
“You!” She seethed and pointed her webbed finger at me. “You don’t get to say those words to me! Ever! I barely know who you are,Emon!”
My chest puffed indignantly and I seethed back at her. “I can tell you that I’m not your fucking enemy. I am on your side, unlike that water fae bitch, and I am not leaving you in this place to go at it alone!”
Remnant bared her razor sharp teeth at me. “You don’t get to decide that for me.”
My head snapped back as if she had slapped me. Her words sliced deeper than I thought was even possible. The whole reason why I hid our bond was for her to have a choice. A choice to choose me…regardless of some bond.
She snarled at the broken expression I failed to hide and pushed off of me to swim up and over the raging orgy surrounding us.
Unprepared, I tumbled backwards in the water, unable to stop my momentum until I landed into a group of moaning painted females. They latched onto me like starved piranhas.
I pushed away from them frantically, reaching up towards Remnant who was swimming further away from me. “Wait! Please. Wait!” I called out.
When a water fae licked up my chest, I swore and shoved her aside. Looking back up I saw nothing but the glow of the moonlight mocking me.
Remnant was gone.
Growling I disentangled myself from the humping females and darted upwards.
“Fuck!” I growled and spun in the water sniffing out her scent. With so much sex in the air and the continued smell of death there was no way of me tracking her.
“This is becoming a habit.”The cat growled.“Can’t we just put a leash on her and be done with it.”
I snarled. “We have to find her.”
