“I’m going to find you some sexy lingerie your mate hasn’t seen yet and I’ll leave it on your pillow,” Grace said.“Wait until Amaros is with you before you strip down and try it on.Ask him what he thinks of it and if you can still pull off something so sexy now that you’re a mom.I guarantee he’ll get the hint and your sex drought will be over.”

Zoe already felt embarrassed about posing in sexy lingerie, but she was willing to try it.“I just need a reason for my mate to join me in our bedroom,” Zoe said.“I’m usually asleep by the time he comes to bed.”

“Leave it to me,” Grace said confidently.“I’ll set everything up so you two lovebirds will have some time to be alone tonight.”

“Thanks, short stuff,” Zoe said, standing up and pulling her bestie to her feet.They hugged, then the teen sauntered out of the nursery.

Grace loved it when she had a secret task to perform.She enjoyed helping her family out whenever they needed assistance.Zoe was good at hiding her feelings.Grace hadn’t even known their matriarch and patriarch weren’t knocking boots.

She entered the room where they had racks and shelves full of women’s clothing.Sinai had created a ton of stylish clothes after getting rid of the gear that didn’t suit her fashion sense.Grace perused the lingerie section and sensed someone approaching.

“What are you up to, shorty?”Xanthia asked when she strode inside.

“Secret mission,” the kid said, glancing over her shoulder.Xan was sorting through the most colorful clothing on a rack that had garments in her size.“I’d go with the purple shorts,” she suggested.

“Semi likes purple,” the electronics wizard agreed with a wink, then grabbed a pair of tiny shorts that would show off her legs.She didn’t ask what Grace’s mission was.The teen could be a vault when she wanted to.

Humming beneath her breath, Grace found a sheer black one piece that was big enough to accommodate Zoe’s boobs, but wouldn’t be too baggy on her slender frame.“Yeah, this is the one,” she decided, then folded it up.Using the speed that not even the knights could match, she appeared next to her bestie’s bedroom door a moment later.No one was inside, so she entered and put the lingerie on the pillow.

Next, she went in search of her favorite knight.“Hey, kiddo,” Cam said when Grace strolled into the females’ gym.He was spotting his mate, who was lifting a ridiculous number of weights.

“Hey, guys,” Grace said casually.“I heard Jac wants to challenge the boys to a gaming championship with one of those fighting games.”

“When?”Camriel asked, instantly onboard.“Tell him I’m in!”

“Here we go,” Vic said with an eyeroll.“We’re all going to have to watch our mates virtually fight each other to the death now.”

Grace snickered, then sought out Jacquin.He and Tor were near the lake.Tori was shooting lightning bolts at boulders.“Hey, Jac?”Grace said innocently.

“Yeah, little sister?”Jacquin asked, grinning at the adorable teen.

“Cam said he wants to kick your butt at that fighting game you’re obsessed with,” Grace said.“I heard all the knights want to try to beat you.”

“Lord, girl,” Tori complained when her mate’s chest puffed out.“That’s like waving a red cape at a bull.”

“No one’s going to beat me at that game,” Jac vowed, abandoning the love of his life so he could defend his gaming honor.

Giggling beneath her breath, Grace used her skill to get ahead of the pair.Amaros was playing pool with Queegly.The Mad Prophet gave her a knowing look, as if he was aware of her plan.“Little lady,” the human said in greeting.

“Hi, guys,” the kid said.“Hey, Amaros, the boys want to have a competition to see who’s the best at one of those fighting games.I know you hate them, so maybe you should challenge Jac first to get it over and done with.”

Amaros grimaced as he sensed the knights converging on the great room.They’d used telepathy to contact each other.“Thanks for the heads up, Grace,” the commander said.Grace winked at the Mad Prophet, then picked up Amaros’ cue, taking his spot at the pool table.

Taking a seat on the gaming couch, Amaros picked up one of the controllers.He gave his men a smug grin when they arrived.“Aw, I wanted to challenge Jac first,” Cam complained.

“Let’s go, boss,” Jacquin said, plopping down onto the couch next to their leader.“Prepare to get your butt kicked!”

“Help me make some drinks and munchies?”Vic said to the females.They headed to the kitchen, since they knew they’d all be stuck in the great room for the next few hours.

Queeg moved closer to Grace and gave her a quick grin.“That was a good plan, little sister,” he murmured in his southern accent.“I’m sure both Zoe and Amaros will thank you for this.”

“They’ll owe me big time,” the kid whispered back to him.

Zoe’s face was flushed when the females returned with the snacks.They moved chairs and couches around to face the gigantic TV that was mounted on the wall.Amaros didn’t game as often as his brothers and was the least skilled.It was already obvious he was going to lose.At Grace’s nod, the mystic casually got up and headed to her bedroom.

Seconds later, Jac’s avatar knocked out Amaros’ avatar and the game ended.“In your face, boss!”Jacquin crowed.

Amaros growled and tossed the controller to Cam, who was next in line.“Where’s my mate?”he asked, looking around for Zoe and seeing she was absent.Their bond was slightly muted and he couldn’t pinpoint her location.
