Chapter 534
Alanis
“Ghosts? I think this is getting crazy,’’ I breathe into the phone. I am all for the supernatural but this shit with Gyles is more than I ever thought we would have to experience.
He is talking about ghosts and yeah, he has been talking about it for some time now but now, he has his confirmation.
“Yeah, it is crazy,’’ he mutters into the phone. His voice is calm, it seems like he is handling this a lot more than I expected.
“So, you’re going back to that place?’’ I ask him just as Beau walks into the room. He is dressed in a pair of swim trunks. He is shirtless and wet, there is sand all over his body. He is just coming back from the beach. He has been spending a lot of time in the water. This vacation was worth it the moment we go here.
He has been so calm and relaxed that I wish I could make this his every day. I wish I could take all his worries away but at the end of the day, that is life. We wouldn’t be living if we didn’t have worries.
If we didn’t have to fight for the ones we love.
Things would be boring and it won’t be worth it.
He winks at me as he walks deeper into the room. He walks over to me and leans forward until his lips meet mine.
His kiss is warm, just like his body. The way I like it, the way it cools down my temperature. I deepen the kiss even though I know I should focus on the phone conversation I am having.
“Yeah, Blue is working on a remedy, one that can help hide my scent and your babies too,’’ he adds and this gets me out of my kiss with Beau. I pull him away from me slowly and he jumps on the bed, ignoring the sand trickles that get on the covers.
“Really?’’ I chirp, excitedly.
Beau is watching me but he is quiet as I continue “That is the first good thing I have heard all day,’’ I mutter as I try to contain my excitement.
“I felt the same way when I found out. It is not done yet but once he has the hang of it, I will be the test. We need to know it’s safe before using it on the kids.”
For now, I know that we don’t have to worry about Colm and Colin. They aren’t going anywhere until they get older but eventually, they will have to go to school. I will want them to experience the outside world and hiding their scent is a must.
I will not let any vampire take advantage of them because they are precious to me.
They will always be precious to me, even when they grow and they want to become independent.
“This is good, I mean, this is exactly what we need. Will you update me on this?’’ I manage.
“Definitely. How is the vacation going?’’
I look at Beau and a smile sprawls up to my face. This smile, that always finds its way whenever I as much as think about him. He is patiently looking at me, waiting for me to be done with my conversation.
“It is amazing. I didn’t know how much we needed this. You should take a break from all the drama when you get back from the coven. Go somewhere with your mates.’’
He laughs into the phone “You know, that is not such a bad idea. We just have to make it out of this alive.’’
His words are full of amusement but I can’t help but take it seriously. What they are doing is dangerous, just like all the things we have had to deal with. So, every time we go through something like this, there is this voice at the back of our minds that scares us.
The, ’what if we don’t make it’ voice.
“Do you need back up?’’ I ask immediately because I would offer a helping hand if this is what they need.
“We don’t even know what we are walking into. We have no fucking clue but if it comes to that, I might just take you up on your offer.”
I end the call with Gyles and Beau picks me up immediately “You’re wet and messy. Go have a shower,’’ I scold him as I try to break free from his grip.
There is a wide grin on his face. So wide that it melts my heart. His arms are around my waist, my legs are wrapped around his tightly as he rests his head on the headboard of the king-sized bed. The sound of waves crash into the room in a melodious rhythm.
“You and Gyles are like best friends,’’ he teases playfully.
The more time I spend getting to know Gyles, the more I think that this is true. “Well, he is a good guy.’’
He rolls his eyes and leans closer until his lips are gently brushing against my ear “I should be your best friend. I am jealous right now,’’ he bites my earlobe and I close my eyes as I try to hold back a moan.
He is effortlessly moving the blade of his canine from soft to hard as he starts to play around my neck. He is teasing me and it is working. His touch does things to me that I can’t hide.
“Do you want to join me in the shower?’’ he breathes softly against me. His dick is hard. I know showering is not the only thing we would do and it excites me.
“The sun is about to set, do you want to watch it with me,’’ I look out the transparent glass view of the beach and his eyes find their way there too.
His smile is just like before. Wider, brighter, warmer. “Yes. Let’s watch it together.’’ It is a playful move that he has made. To see the sun, fall from the sky is something most people are not lucky to see and the viewing is beautiful. “We will definitely be a wet and messy indoor couple right after this.’’ He winks as he runs out of the room.
I follow him out of the room and out of the house and in this moment, everything is fucking perfect.
