My Salvation - Page 94
Cas laughed. “It must have been beautifully chaotic.”
He nodded. “I think that’s why not much gets to me. I was raised in the chaotic crucible of my mother’s making.”
“She has a heart of pure gold,” Cas refuted.
He nodded. “Of course she does. But around that heart swirls a tempest of ideas and plans waiting for execution.”
“And your father?”
“He indulged her at every turn. I don’t think he’s ever told her no.”
“That’s beautiful.”
“Because she got her way?”
“No, you ass. Because that means he accepts her, chaos and all. Like Aiden and Meryn. You know that woman drives him up the wall, but it doesn’t matter to him.”
“You can drive me up the wall all you want,” he offered, leaning in to nip at his bite mark.
She turned and kissed the tip of his nose. “I have a feeling I might be the one to drive you crazy.”
Laying back, he patted at his full belly. “Let’s just both be crazy,” he suggested, then yawned.
“Priest set the tray on the floor. I’m tired.”
Sitting up, he swung his legs over the bed and stood. He was pleasantly surprised when they cooperated. He lifted the tray and walked it over to the long dresser. Shivering against the nighttime chill, he hurried back to snuggle with his mate.
She reached for him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist. “You’re so warm.”
“Is that all I’m good for?”
“Yup.”
When he licked the back of her ear, she squealed and struggled to move away. “I will have vengeance!” He wagged his tongue back and forth.
“Nooo!” she screamed, giggling breathlessly.
He was able to get the back of her neck once before he was laughing too hard to continue. “What else am I good for?”
“Sex!” she shouted.
He’d take that. “Good.” He settled down and pulled her close again.
“Priest?”
“Yes, baby?”
“Don’t ever change.”
“I won’t,” he promised.
Chapter Fourteen
“Nothing can bother me today,” Priest said as they walked hand in hand toward the city center.
“Nothing? I must have done a damn good job last night, then,” Cas said, smiling wide.
“That you did.”
