them hugging. I hold back a snarl. He’s only comforting
him. I can handle that. At least I can for a few seconds, the whole
patting of the back and the circle rubbing has me ready to rip
Crispin’s arms off his body. I fully emerge from the corner and
lean against the door jamb that leads into the living room. Not in
anyone’s line of sight of course. I do my best to look casual when
I say “Hey bitch, get your paws off my mate if you want to keep
them.”
I don’t want to seem too
happy when Declan practically throws Crispin off him and spins
around to face me but I’m ecstatic. His friend makes a break for
the front door while he walks over to me and says with tears in his
eyes “Hey, you’re awake. I was so worried. For a second there when
my dad called, I thought I’d lost you.”
I hold his head between my
hands and stroke both cheeks with my thumbs. “Aww, sweetness you
don’t have to worry about that. I’m fine. I’ll always be
fine.”
He puts his forehead to
mine and says “But, what if…”
“ Shh…There’s no what if,
about it. Okay? I can’t die sweetness. My father gave me the gift
of immortality as a kid. Which came with near invulnerability. When
we bond your life will extend to match mine. We’ll have each other
until the end of time…literally. It is virtually impossible to kill
me.”
His mouth drops open in
shock. “Immortal? But, you’re a wolf shifter.”
I shake my head. “Only
half, sweetness.”
His mouth forms this
little O shape like he finally understands what I’m talking about.
“So, what’s the other half of you? Fae? Demon? Angel? I know you
aren’t half vampire. Sun exposure and all that.”
I laugh and say, “No
sweetness, but you’re getting close. I’m half god. My father is
Poseidon.”
He shrieks like a little
girl. “That is so fucking cool!! So, can you do the water thing?
You know control it?”
I laugh at his enthusiasm.
“Yeah, sweetness I can control water. I can do lightening
too.”
He tilts his head to the
side and says “Isn’t that Zeus’ thing?”
I nod. “He gave the power
to me when I reached my first millennia.”
His eyes widen.
“Millennia? Just um how old are you?”
I lean in and whisper in
his ear “Three thousand, five hundred. Is that going to be a
problem?”
He gulps and says, “Nope,
no problem.”
I loop my fingers into his
belt loops and pull him closer so that there’s no space between us.
I nip at his earlobe and whisper “Are you sure about
that?”
He nods. “Ugh huh,
positive.”
I smile. “Good. By the
way, I saw what you did with the bedroom. Was that for us?” He
blushes but doesn’t answer so I’m taking that as a yes.
“ I’m sorry I missed
dinner.”
He shakes his head. “Don’t
worry about it. It wasn’t your fault. I saved it so, we can reheat
it if you’re hungry.”
I lick my lips and nod. “I
could eat.” I don’t mean food of course but I’ll let him feed me.
As long as it wipes that worried look off his face. He turns around
and walks into the kitchen. I follow and sit down at the kitchen
table, making sure I have a perfect view of his ass while he cooks.
What? I like to watch.
He says, “Crispin got your
stuff out of your SUV before they towed it. I put everything in the
spare room except for the bag you were sleeping on, that’s in the
bedroom. Your car is totaled though.”
I sigh. “I know it is,
I’ll have to get a new one. I’ll also have to thank Crispin for
getting my shit.” He puts a plate in front of me that smells
absolutely fantastic. My mouth is literally watering. “Thanks
sweetness.”
“ You’re
welcome.”
He goes to walk away but I
grab his wrist and pull him into my lap. He laughs. “I’m too big
for this! Let go!”
I shake my head. “I don’t
give a shit if you are big. You’re going to sit right there, not
miles away where I can’t reach you.” I slip my right hand under his
shirt and rest it on his hip while I use my left
him. I can handle that. At least I can for a few seconds, the whole
patting of the back and the circle rubbing has me ready to rip
Crispin’s arms off his body. I fully emerge from the corner and
