'Why not? It's entertaining,' Ren replied, her voice light and teasing in his head.
Kai's jaw tightened, his expression hardening as he stood up, a surge of energy rushing through him. The wave of his aura lashed the air around him. He shouted across the field, his voice commanding. "Loka, you face me!"
The feline shifter, who had been observing from the sidelines, bowed his head in acknowledgment.
A hint of a grin tugged at Ren's lips. 'You're jealous!' she snapped through the bond, clearly amused.
'And you enjoy it. Now, tell me, which of his arms should I break first for my wife to have more fun?'
Ren's playful expression faltered. 'I was joking! Don't hurt him. Fight with honor, show these bastards around me that they have every reason to fear my husband.'
A slow, satisfied smirk spread across Kai's face as he glanced back at her, a flicker of dark mischief lighting up his eyes. Gods, Ren thought, is he supposed to be this luring?
Her breath caught in her throat.
