around her, he soon became as enamored as the rest when she held the crossbar beneath with expertise and started playing the drum. She had a way of moving her hand in such a way that the sound made the listener feel the passion within her.
    Incredible passion.
    Blatant sensuality.
    The woman possessed a natural eroticism that simmered beneath the surface of every move she made. Kol watched the speed and roll of her hand, imagining that same hand playing his body with as much talent and hunger. Because there was a definite hunger in the sound she created. One that originated in the depths of her soul. A soul that felt things far more deeply than most.
    Though Kol narrowed his eyes at the man behind her, he didn’t need to. Amber was handling him perfectly as she pulled away and nodded her thanks. Then her eyes met the women playing the pipes and she offered a dazzling smile as they caught her beat.
    Captivated, he couldn’t decide which part of her he wanted to eye more. Her animated face, the way her hand deftly worked the instrument or the sway of her lovely hips as she moved in synchronization to the beat she created.
    Her eyes flashed as the low, inviting beat increased ever so slowly. He couldn’t stop his arousal if he wanted to. Not when he sensed the rhythm of sex. After all, he knew it better than most. Eager to taste what lay between those talented thighs, he licked his lips. Though it almost seemed calculated, he knew it wasn’t when her eyes met his and her lips fell open a fraction.
    Yet she didn’t miss a beat.
    Instead, her hand moved faster and he curled up the corner of his lips. He'd never had a woman show her interest, her desire, through music. It aroused him so thoroughly that not only did his erection strain almost painfully against his leather pants but a slow burn was working its way up his spine. And damn if she didn’t know precisely what she was doing to him.
    Two could play at that game.
    He sheathed his blade, pulled off his tunic and winked.
    “Oh, please .” Veronica held her lower back and rested a hand on her belly as she shook her head and eyed him. “You’re as bad as she is, show off.”
    “She’s a little tease.” Kol shrugged and kept his crooked grin in place as he enjoyed Amber’s response. “I’m just giving some back.”
    Veronica fanned herself as Raknar came behind her and wrapped his arms around her until his hands rested over hers on her stomach. She might be running hotter than normal, but Amber’s music was clearly affecting everyone as his brother nuzzled the side of her neck and Veronica’s eyes drifted shut.
    Meanwhile, Amber’s hand was moving faster as her eyes ran the length of Kol and a blush tinted her cheeks. If he didn’t know better, he would say she was working herself toward where he wanted her.
    In his bed.
    The king stood next to Megan, an arm wrapped around her middle as he eyed the crowd. But even he wasn’t immune to the enchantment Amber weaved because his hand drifted from Megan’s hipbone and trailed back and forth over her stomach. They were eager to conceive. It was obvious by the way he touched her and the way she responded.
    Like his brothers, Kol had never been more pleased when they discovered Veronica’s unborn child had dragon blood. It gave them much hope. He and his brothers all possessing the blood of the dragon had been extremely rare. In fact, Raknar and Naðr’s firstborn children didn’t possess it so they suspected it might have something to do with either the seer’s pact or perhaps because the women were from another time.
    Though he sensed Amber’s reluctance to look away, she eventually did and moved closer to the women as another man with a drum joined and their tempo only increased. Reluctant to stop watching her, men soon had no choice as women swung them into their arms and the room filled with sensual couples.
    Kol released a low chuckle as he eyed the crowd. Amber drew out sex well with her music because the
