Halfway to the clearing, Dexmon grabbed Serena's hand and locked their fingers together.
She looked down stunned. He looked straight ahead, like it hadn't happened.
She gave a feeble attempt to shake him away but his fingers tightened.
Then she looked up, and saw Elara and Gav watching. Again. To say she was irritated would be an understatement.
"Can I hold your other hand?" Gav asked, tone dead serious.
She rolled her eyes and continued forward, now holding hands with a grown man behaving like a child.
Serena remembered that Dexmon marked her during this handholding walk. And that Shadowclaw had marked her too the night before. Maybe that was why she was beyond irritated. Getting marked however many fucking times will do things to your brain.
Gav fell into step beside them, glancing down at their locked fingers. He couldn't help himself and kept going.
"This is nice. Are we a group that holds hands now? Because I'm in."
"Gav," Elara warned.
