protect her. How could she love a man unable to do even that little bit? He would take off to London and discuss the situation with his brethren there. They would be able to come up with a plan to thwart a young heart from pursuing a reckless path. They had done it often enough through the years.
He would let her go because it was the right thing to do . Ferris was too young, too vibrant, to be stuck with a cold hulk of a stone beast such as himself. There was nothing he wouldn’t do to make sure her future was with someone who could love her as she deserved to be loved.
Chapter 6
An Unexpected Setback
For nearly two weeks, Ferris had wandered around in a state of bewildered bliss, wondering when Armand was planning on returning home after his unexpected trip to the Old Country, as he called it. After that full-body orgasm, after she had woken up in his arms, he had looked at her with sorrow in his green eyes, as if he was afraid of losing her. She had assured him that she wasn’t going to go anywhere. He was her destiny, she would never leave him. But he simply gave her a sad smile and pressed a tender kiss to her lips, walking out the door a few hours later without a backwards glance.
His absence had driven her insane wondering why he had to leave just when everything was finally coming together. The other gargoyles didn’t have any more explanation than she did, saying that it was Armand simply being Armand. At the same time she was very careful not to act too crazy when the subject of Armand was brought up. She didn’t want to draw attention to the love that was blossoming between them for their relationship was still too new to share with the world. She was fairly certain no one knew she was pining away for the gorgeous gargoyle.
“Hey!” She cried out as Jenna and Rhys emerged from their bedroom, satiated grins on their faces. Last night was the new moon and Rhys had finally given up his nights for Jenna. Ferris was so excited for them because she knew this one last step was going to be the glitter on their platinum and diamond love affair. Hugging her mother and then Rhys, she grinned, “So you survived?”
Jenna blushed, burying her face in Rhys’s shoulder as he hugged her to him, a joyous smile brightening his handsome face even more than usual. “I think I fell in love with Jenna all over again last night.”
A smile of pure joy spread across Ferris’s face, tightening her cheeks in glee. Unable to help herself she hugged the couple again, “When are you guys heading to the airport?”
“We’ll be leaving in a few minutes,” Jenna murmured, resting her head against Rhys as a languorous smile curved her lips. “Are you sure you’re going to be all right here with just Michael, Leo and Raphe for company?”
Ferris chuckled, “I’ll be fine, Jenna . The only one who still gives me grief on a regular basis is Michael but Leo and Raphe will keep him in line. Hopefully, Armand will be back soon and there is always Melanie and Vaughn.”
Jenna gave a reluctant smile, stepping forward and pressing a kiss to Ferris’s cheek. “If you run into any trouble I want you to call me. You know that we will come home in a heartbeat if you need us, right?”
“Of course,” she murmured, her smile faltering slightly knowing that she would never even dream of interrupting Jenna and Rhys’s vacation in the sun. The world could be ending and the most she would do would be to call and tell Jenna how much she loved her. “Now go.”
Jenna and Rhys exchanged a gooey, lovey look and finally said their goodbyes, leaving Ferris alone in the suite of rooms at the top of the castle. Since she was done with college for the semester and she only worked part time, she realized that she would have a lot of time to herself. A slow smile formed as she thought about her studio and what she was going to paint. She had enough sketches of Armand that she would be able to create dozens of paintings,
