Binding Santos (7 page)

Santos grinned. Allowing his jaw to shift to its natural form, he showed off a mouthful of very pointed teeth. "Tyron didn't complain," he purred, the arm wrapped around his bindling tightening.

Max laughed at Tyron's blush and opened the door to his study. "I'm sure he didn't."

Serena followed him into the room and crossed to the sideboard. "Do you want anything?" the female gargoyle asked.

"Tequila," Santos replied, eyeing Max's sister. He'd heard that female gargoyles were so rare that they had two mates instead of one. He'd have to ask Tyron about that some time. Turning to look at Tyron, he asked, "What about you, little one? Do you want anything?"

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Almost two in the afternoon, Tyron," Max said gently. "Don't worry. Your shift at the infirmary is covered until tomorrow."

"Thank you," Tyron murmured. He looked at Serena and shrugged. "Got any Caribbean rum over there?"

She laughed lightly. "Of course. My brother keeps just about everything back here." Winking, she pulled a couple bottles and tumblers from different cupboards behind the bar.

After settling with their drinks, Max leaned forward. "Now what's this about, Santos?"

"Did Tyron tell you I've been looking for a relic from the McDarmund tribe?" After Max and Serena nodded, he grinned smugly. "Well, I've found one. And it's right here in Rostrorod!"
