Kyros pulls away from her too, giving her some space as his gaze flicks between the two of us.
“I know.” A small smile tugs at her lips.
My brows furrow and my lips pop open as I rewind her words back in my head, making sure that I heard her right.
“You know?” Kyros murmurs, clearly as confused as I am.
“I know this isn’t me... well,wasn’tme,” she corrects. “But something you said helped to snap me out of it.”
“Really?” My eyes widen in shock as I watch my mate. She looks lighter than before, like some of the weight has lifted off her chest.
“Don’t act so surprised,” she giggles.
“What did I say?”
“When you said that I’m your home,” she says, her smile widening. “It gave me an idea, and snapped my thoughts from all that doom and gloom from earlier.”
“Are you serious?” I ask, nearly needing to pinch myself to believe that this is real.
“Yes, I’m serious.” She shakes her head in disbelief like I’m the one that’s not making any sense right now. “You were right. You four are my home, and we have a lifetime to make new memories, wherever we might go.”
“Was our mate replaced by a doppelganger?” I ask Kyros, who looks just as confused as I am.
“Then why did you ask—” Kyros starts, but Liv cuts him off.
“I asked that before Adrian said that I’m your home—that was really sweet by the way,” she coos, giving me a wink. “After that, I wasn’t going to stop anything, because even though I didn’t feel numb anymore, I still wanted you both. I still wanted to feel close to you.”
“Wait, I take it back—” I say desperately, but she’s already shifting on the bed and pulling the hem of her nightgown down.
“Nope, you can’t take it back, Adrian.” Her eyes light with mischief as she leaps up from the bed and boops me on the nose. “You just opened up a can of worms, and I sure as hell am not going to let your inspiring speech go to waste.”
“I think whatever you’re planning can wait till the morning, sweetheart,” Kyros says. The normally passive god of healing glares over her head at me as though he’s going to throw me into one of those lava pits in the infernal realm. I’m about to throw myself into one too.
I feel like a complete and total idiot right now. I look down at my semi-hard cock and silently apologize to him for ruining the moment.Newsflash, Adrian, save the inspiring speeches for after sex next time.
“But now I’m excited and I need to live up to Adrian’s impression of me,” Olivia says as a black trench coat pops into her hands and she pulls it on. Black running shoes appear on her feet next and she’s already walking to the door.
“Wait a minute,” Kyros says, but she ignores him, reaching for the doorknob.
“We’re only in our boxers,” I shout, pulling on my powers to form clothes on my skin.
“What about me?” Kyros says, and I huff out a breath of frustration as I form clothes for him too.
By the time I look back to the door, she’s already gone, the door propped open as she must have silently slipped into the hallway.
“I blame you for this,” Kyros hisses as he stomps towards the door, apparently just as pissed with me as I am with myself.
“You should be thanking me,” I say instead, focusing on the positives. “If it wasn’t for me, she would still be stuck in depression. I single-handedly helped her snap out of it. What did you do?”
“I was doing what she asked us to do,” Kyros whispers, cutting a glare in my direction as I follow him into the hallway and close the door behind me.
“Stop thinking with your cock, Kyros,” I say triumphantly, my chest puffing out with pride that I get to take the moral high road this time.
“Don’t act like you weren’t trying and failing to backpedal just a few minutes ago.” Kyros gives me an incredulous look as we jog down the hallway, only knowing the right direction since we catch the edge of Liv’s black trench coat as she enters into the main hall.
We pick up our pace, breaking out into a run as we try to catch up with her.
“That was a few minutes ago,” I say dismissively. “Now I’m focused on looking at the positives.”
