"Kent, I want to have a private talk with you," Gate Master Mara said when they returned to the hotel.
Uncle Drew had taken it upon himself to book a new suite in a new hotel while they were away at the auction.
Kent nodded and turned to Selene.
"Take them to the Yin Pool. I will return later so we can spend some time together," he said. Selene and the rest of his women nodded with smiles on their faces as they vanished into the tower.
"What do you want to talk about?" Kent asked, turning toward the Gate Master.
"I want to ask you a question, and I would love to have a serious answer. Of course, if you are not comfortable, you can choose not to answer. Either way, I wouldn't mind," she said.
"Okay. I'm listening," Kent replied.
"Are you a demon?" the Gate Master asked, nearly making Kent choke on his tongue. Of all the things he was expecting, this wasn't one of them.
