Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 285 Live to Serve

As soon as Steve materialized in the room and locked eyes with Lexi, her l*ips curled up at the sides into a mischievous grin.

“Well hello there you little ray of sunshine,” she winked, “How’s life?”

“Eternal.” Steve answered with a face like stone, no flicker of emotion in his eyes as he turned to regard Lord Brarthroroz with the same deadpan expression, “You called?”

Lord Brarthroroz ignored Lexi’s sniggers and got straight to business. “I need to transport some of our forces here, cambion’s and their h*andlers mainly,” Lord Brathroroz explained, “A few mimic’s too. There may be more required at a later date, but we’ll meet that when we come to it.”

“I live to serve.” Steve bowed slightly as the corners of his mouth twitched.

“I can’t decide whether or not there was the hint of sarcasm in there Steve,” Lord Brarthroroz rumbled as he inspected his face carefully for any tell tale signs.

“Sarcasm? Against the Daemon Lord himself? Who would possibly dare…” Steve answered quick as a flash and Lexi snorted as her father watched him with a mixture of mild surprise and faint amusement.

“I do believe he’s finally understood it.” Lexi snorted as she clapped Steve on the back, causing a slight cloud of dust to drift off him as whatever lay under his gown rattled slightly.
