I’m sure he can tell the effect he’s having. He looks pleased with himself when he moves back.
“We missed you,” he says.
“I missed all of you when you were gone, too.”
“But especially me, right?” he asks, grinning.
I can’t help but smile. I don’t answer him, and he doesn’t need me to.
When I look back at Scar, I see Snake has my guardian’s ASL book in his hands, and he’s thrusting it at his older brother, his mouth and tongue moving.
Scar takes the book from him, shakes his head, and opens it.
He shoots me a hint of a smile when he catches me looking.
Scratch doesn’t look amused, but Snake seems happy once Scar starts flipping through the book.
Clearly, there’s something he wants to say.
“You could write it down for him,” I remind Scar.
He nods and pauses to write on the pad.
When I see his note, I understand.
Snake wants to ask me something himself.
Scar goes back to checking through the book.
I look back at Fox, because it seems like the easiest way to give Scar and Snake a moment.
“Did you sleep while we were gone?” he asks.
I shake my head. “I couldn’t. I was too worried.”
I prayed with Alina when they were gone, all the time hoping Artemis would possess me one more time. Waiting was torture. Knowing my mates were putting their lives on the line for me, and for Nightshade, there’s no way I ever could have gotten into bed and actually slept.
“Then you are overdue to go to bed,” he tells me.
“You were out all night. Wouldn’t that mean you’re also overdue for bed?”
His vibrant eyes light up. “You make a good point. Perhaps …”
He trails off with a sour glance at Scratch, who clearly interjected some kind of protest.
“I was not about to suggest anything untoward,” he says, shaking his head and putting his full attention back on me. “I just think you should rest, and we should be close to you while you are sleeping. It would be much safer than allowing you to sleep alone.”
Somehow, I doubt we would actually sleep if we went into my bedroom together.
My heart races at the thought of being in bed with them.
I don’t know what would happen, exactly, but considering we’re fated to be mates, it would be something new and interesting. Something I’ve never done before.
There’s only one problem. My bed is barely big enough for one.
If I want to claim them as mine, I’ll need to gather up all the spare blankets I can find and make a new bed on the floor, where there’s more space.
Even then, it might be a tight squeeze.
