I’d always been waiting for you.

As his queen beamed, the woman indicated the way across the open room—and as they followed her, Trez realized that they had stepped onto a vast, slowly revolving plate: The entire restaurant moved around the center core of the elevator shaft and what must have been the kitchen space.They went right to the edge. To a table for two that had one of its generous four sides directly against the glass.

Under which the entire city of Caldwell stretched out, about four hundred thousand feet below.Time to sit, he thought, praying his sudden case of the wonks didn’t wipe out his knees before he did his queen proper.Helping Selena into her seat, he kept his eyes averted as he went over and fell down into a seat that was hard as rock.

She turned back to the rest of the place. The interior is designed to be the night, the perfect background for savoring what the chef will provide for your pleasure.

Trez rubbed his short-cropped hair and walked around. Selena—When there was a tight silence, iAm decided, Fuck it. He was sold by our parents when we were infants to the Queen of the Territory—as a mate for the heir to the throne. It was decreed by his astrological chart. He’s done everything possible to escape from it, and the reason he’s pissed at me is because I’m his Achilles’s heel. He’s just freaking out at a close call, probably because the real thing he’s worried about is you and he can’t do anything about that.
