“I’ll let Toby and his brothers know we’ll be back and there will be quite a few of us.” Kai says, walking towards the door with his bag.
Ghost launches himself off of my shoulder and follows him out the door.
Chapter Nineteen
Levi
Iwatch as everyone quickly finishes breakfast and then gathers their bags and starts to walk out of the door. This is one hell of a mission we’re going on and I send a prayer up to Nyx for any assistance she’s able to give and that we all survive this.
I can not even fathom losing one of them. Having my demon side finally released has heightened certain parts of my personality, I know that if I lost one of my brothers I’d barely hang on to my control but if I lost Sage the world would burn.
I need to warn my brothers and what will happen if we lose her but I feel it would be a pointless conversation since they’d be right there beside me. None of us will survive it and I fear the world wouldn’t either.
Sage is the last one to finish packing and start to leave before she can get very far I shut the door and lean against it. I love that she needs no prompting at all as she drops her bag and practically falls into my chest. I wrap my arms around her tightly, kissing the top of her head as my heart beats a mile a minute. I still can’t believe that we have been so damn lucky to have her as ours. She amazes me with her skill, strength and courage every damn day. She’s so damn beautiful that she makes the whole room light up when ever she enters and the thing that makes her even more stunning? She doesn’t even realise the effect she has on us.
“Are you ok?” I ask, trying to make my voice as soft as I can. With my human glamour dropped its quite rough. Not that she seems to mind.
“I think so. I mean it was such a shock that Monty was killed. At least it was to us, the more I think about it the more certain I am that Monty knew he was going to die after handing that envelope over. I think I’m just still trying to process it. I know it makes me sound cold but its different than it was when the Director was beheaded by Creep. She was a vileperson who had been the indirect cause of many students deaths. But with Monty there was just something about him that I can’t quite put my finger on. It’s almost as if, if we had met under different circumstances we could have been great friends. Or at the very least strong allies.” She explains, her head still resting on my chest. “Not to mention he seemed to know something about me. it was clear that he knew the goddess quite well so I doubt anyone else but her knows and she won’t tell me until it’s the right time or the Fates allow her. It’s going to bug me.” She says thoughtfully and I stroke her back trying to offer her comfort whilst also enjoying just having her in my arms.
“I’m fine, honestly and I’ll deal with the shock of seeing him beheaded when everything finally calms down after we’ve rescued the Centre’s and their Bonded.” She finally adds, pulling back and looking up at me.
I really hope we can rescue them all for her but I meant what I said I will not risk her and the others. We can find another way to rescue them if this doesn’t work out and as much as I want to keep Sage happy I want to keep her alive more.
She smiles softly as if she knows what I’m thinking and isn’t mad at me for it. I have told her and I will stick to it. I do double check my bond line to make sure that I’m not projecting to her.
I can’t help myself as I dip my head and take her lips with mine. I spin us, picking her up and pressing her back against the door as her legs wrapping around me. My dick hardens and I growl as she grinds her hips against mine. Her tongue expertly tangles with mine and I nip her lip, her moan sends me wild. Eventually I slowly start to pull back kissing her one final soft kiss before resting my forehead on hers as we both try to catch our breaths.
I love her so damn much.
“I have a feeling I might not get the chance to do that for a while so I thought I’d make the most of it whilst I can.” I smirk as I let her slowly slide down my body.
Her eyes heat with desire and I barely restrain myself from pulling her back towards me and saying fuck it to our gifts going crazy. I do manage it though mainly because I like Toby and his brothers and I am aware that my brothers are waiting for us both. We need to get going.
She grins up at me before turning and opening the door. My eyes travel down to her ass that looks absolutely biteable in her leather riding pants. I reach out and smack her ass as she passes through the door.
“Promises, promises.” She mutters huskily as she runs her desire filled eyes down my form pausing on my clearly hard dick she licks her lips and my already desire ridden heart beat spikes severely. The minx just smirks and struts down the hallway towards the stairs swaying that delectable ass of hers temptingly.
“Just wait Darling. As soon as we’ve got control,” I start.
“I plan on not leaving our room or being clothed for at least a week.” Shesays loud enough for the others, that are gathered at the bottom of the stairs to hear.
Their attention instantly snaps to her, mine has never left her. I love this side of her, full of confidence and just damn right sexy as fuck.
“Do you think you're up to it?” She asks popping her hip and smirking.
Kysen chuckles at our dropped jaws.
“That’s my girl.” He chuckles, fortunately we know him well enough that he doesn’t lose his head for that remark.
Sage giggles and winks at him.
“Beautiful, we are more than up to that task. After this long we have had many, many hours to imagine all the delicious ways we can make you come.” Kai smirks, stepping up to her and kissing her hard as her mouth drops open in shock.
Kai has a certain way with words.
I lean on the wall and chuckle, feisty suits our Sage.
“Excuse me Sir,” Toby says, Kai pulls back and wraps an arm around Sage’s shoulder. “The horses are ready for you and I’ll have provisions ready for you when you get back. In case, goddess forbid any one needs medical attention. I’m sure they’ll need a good meal regardless and we will have something quick they can grab if they want before you move on.”
