Bash’s handremained on my thigh throughout our drive home, and I couldn’t stop myself from looking down at the mate marks on our skin repeatedly.
And smiling.
We werepermanent. Nothing could change that. And hell, I was ademon. It was insane, in the best way.
He made me stay in the Hummer while he opened my door, and as soon as I’d stepped out, he covered my eyes with his hands.
“What are you doing, Crash?”
“Surprising you. For once, don’t argue with me.”
I laughed, and heard his chuckle too. “I wouldnever.”
“Of course not. Now, walk with me. Don’t try to get ahead; I don’t want you tripping over anything.”
I obediently walked with him, letting his movements tell me where to go. Mentally, I tried to come up with what the surprise could possibly be.
A house full of roses? Hadn’t that been in a romance movie or six? Zander had already done that with Miles, hadn’t he?
It seemed excessive, too, but according to Tatum, demons were always excessive.
An engagement-slash-mating cake? If he was buying a cake, he should’ve brought it to the cabin so everyone else could help us eat it. Then again, Bash could probably kill a cake on his own without much effort, given his sugar addiction.
A… new laptop? Mine worked great, and wasn’t old, so that was definitely unnecessary.
Yeah, I was out of ideas.
We walked for a few minutes before Bash finally stopped. “Alright, are you ready?”
“Definitely.”
He peeled his hands off my eyes, and I looked out at our living room.
And blinked.
Silence followed.
I could practically feel the worry building in Bash behind me.
“You redecorated for me,” I said, my gaze glued to the décor.
It was bohemian, like my coffee shops and my old apartment, but more masculine. There were curtains, the rugs were cozy, and the colors were rich and gorgeous without being gaudy.
More tears stung my eyes.
I really needed to stop crying.
“I did. Well, I paid someone to do it. It’s your house too, and I want you comfortable here. I asked Tatum and Miles if I should let you choose everything, but they said you would prefer if it just looked perfect overnight.”
A laugh escaped me, and I wiped my eyes. “They’re right. This is incredible, Bash.” Turning around, I threw my arms around him for a massive hug.
“It’s your house too, Brynlee. I want you comfortable and happy here. And you were right; I hated the modern look too.” Hekissed the top of my head. “We’re partners now, for better or worse.”
“Let’s stick with the better part.” I tilted my chin back, and he lowered his lips to mine to kiss me. After a moment, I pulled away and surveyed the room again. “The whole house is redecorated?”
“Yep. All your stuff is already put away in our room, too.”
I flashed him a grin. “You’re a little wicked, Sebastian.”
