Chapter 151: Fire Part 1

"Walker..." I place my hand over my racing heart. "You scared the shit out of me."

"Never my intention," his grin turns into a laugh, his eyes dropping to my hands. "What have you got there?"

"No idea," I focus on the empty green container. With a smile I hold it out to him. "But I'd like some more, please."

"Anything you want, baby. Come on," he gestures me to follow. "I'll fill it up."

"Thanks."

"So..." he leads us toward the other side of the clearing, just past the drumming, "you enjoying yourself?"

"The Zingfinolds know how to throw a party."

"Yeah," he laughs. "That's what I thought after my victory."

"I don't know how you and Tucker did it... must've been terrifying."

"Living on Harrizel wasn't any better."

"But you were secure," I keep to his side. "Most guys were."

"Doesn't mean it was a picnic. Every day, having to charm this girl or that. Kings always threatening to take your food away if you don't fuck the girl they want. Sorry," he suddenly blanches.
