“I have a bad feeling about going to this ship.” His actions don’t match his words. He places soft kisses on my cheeks, my jaw, and down the side of my neck.
“You seem… fine.” I arch my back into his erection. He groans at the sudden pressure, opening his mouth to suck on my neck.
“Either way, I wanted to see you before you left,” he adds softly in my ear.
I practically start purring at his hot breath slithering across my skin.
“And I wanted to hear you say it again.”
“Say what?”
“Say you love me,” he hums into my skin. “Tell me you love me, honey.”
My cheeks lift in a sappy grin. “I love you,” I say quietly. “I love you so much it hurts.” And it does. It’s a physical throbbing under my sternum. It’s barbed wire around my heart. It’s an ache that will never go away.
He sighs, breathing in my scent. “I’ve waited my whole life to hear you say it. My whole fucking life of watching you grow up, of watching you… develop.”
“Ohhh.” I poke him playfully. “You noticed when I got breasts, huh?”
His large hands drag up my stomach and over the swells of my chest. He squeezes them gently, pushing his cock harder against my ass. My panties are instantly soaked.
“You used to sit in my lap and practically shove them in my face. Puberty… suckedaround you, honey.”
I bark out a laugh. It’s still so strange to think how much history we share. How much we know about each other. He must have been so devastated when I lost those memories, when I forgot every precious moment that meant anything to us.
“I still have so many memories I want to reminisce with you,” he says, a touch of sadness thickening his voice.
I turn to face him. “When we get back from the ship, we’ll stay up all night reminiscing. We’ll steal trays of food, sit in front of the fire, and talk until sunrise.”
His hands cradle my face, and he looks down at me like I’ll never in a million years understand how much that would mean to him. “Then I’ll wait for you, Skylittle. I’ll always wait for you.”
As we load into our buggies to head out to the shore, I glance over my shoulder to see DaiSzek watching us. Knightingale waits a few feet behind him.
My entire body seems to ache at the sight. I don’t want to leave them. And as I glance to my right, I can see that Dessin doesn’t either. His face wears the same scowl it usually has, only now his eyes have darkened.
We walk up to DaiSzek, kneeling in front of him.
“It’s only for a little while,” I say, scratching behind his ears.
“I know you want to come with us, but we have to keep you far away from Vexamen, buddy.” Dessin places a hand on my shoulder, peeking over at Knightingale. “Not to mention, you have a new member of your pack that needs training.”
DaiSzek huffs. A sign of discontent. His version of an eye roll.
I lean my forehead against his large snout. We linger there for a long moment while Dessin rubs circles over my back.
I love you so much, DaiSzek. Since the day we found you as a pup.
“Come here,” Dessin says in an uncharacteristically light voice. The tone you use with a child. He uses a finger to signal to the pouting Ginger Wrathbull.
Knightingale curls her upper lip, growling at DaiSzek before approaching us. It’s as if she’s reminding him who the real boss is.
Dessin and I laugh.
“You’re a part of our family now, girl. That means we usually stick together. But this time, you’re going to have to hang back, keep these assholes in check while we’re away.”
I snort, smiling at Dessin as he talks to her like a little girl.
“We protect our family. One day, you’ll learn to love DaiSzek like we do.” He scratches her muscly head, smirking as she pushes up against him, wiggling her butt at an inhumanly fast pace.
