Sebastian (Bowen Boys, #5)(37)

“I’m sure they did.” He kissed her shoulder, then stood up. He looked down at his ruined pants. “You’re very hard on my clothing, my lady. I should just learn to wear jogging pants everywhere we go.”

“Why do you think I wear skirts now? I swear the last time I wore a pair of jeans out, you tore them off me so badly that I had to go home nearly naked.” He smiled at that memory. He’d feasted on her twice before they got home. She slapped him on the arm.

“What? I was thinking about how poorly I treat you.” She snorted and moved away from him. “Monica, I want you again. But if you want to wait, I can take us closer to home.”

She laughed and got into the car. He moved to the driver’s side, both sad and happy that they’d driven themselves. Had they come in the limo, he could have had her again in the back seat. Oh well, he’d just have to find a place for them to play on the way home.

“Do you think they’ll be all right, Khan? Ama and Sebastian, do you think that this demon will be defeated by them?” He nodded. “I hope so. But I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen to them after. Do you think that they’ll have to go somewhere to rule or something?”

“I was thinking the same thing tonight. I hope not. Walker and Caitlynne will be coming home for good soon, and I’d hate to lose another brother so soon after that. I want them all around us.” She nodded but looked sad. “You like her, don’t you?”

“I do. She’s very brilliant. So are the others. Caitlynne is amazing, and her plan to take care of Anderson in the morning is great. Jack is such a mouthy woman, but there is something about her that makes you want to smack her one minute and hug her the next. And Jonny? She’s just simply amazing. I love her and her wit so much.”

He waited for her to say more, and when she didn’t, he glanced over at her. “What is it, Monica? You’re very sad all of the sudden.”

“She’s very special. I don’t mean the faerie part, just herself. Sebastian loves her very much.” He nodded, waiting. “I wonder if he knows just how lucky he is.”

Khan was pretty sure he knew. The man was besotted with his mate. Taking Monica’s hand in his, he kissed it. When she smiled at him, he felt like the king of the world and told her so.

“You’re just trying to butter me up so you can tie me to the bed again. Well, I got news for you. It’s my turn, and I’m looking forward to strapping you down and taking my time tasting every inch of you.”

He nearly drove them off the road. He looked over at her, hoping she wasn’t kidding when she winked at him. He pressed a little harder on the gas pedal, no longer looking for a nice place to pull over. When they parked, he leapt out of his side and around to hers and jerked her out of the car. As she giggled at him, he threw her over his shoulder and ran up the stairs to their room. He nearly snarled when he saw that his son and daughter were sleeping in their big bed.

“They missed us.” He growled low, and she laughed. “Come on and help me put them to bed. They’ll be more comfortable there anyway.”

Khan knew he would be as well. His daughter had a habit of sleeping on his head for some reason, and he had to peel her off every time she ended up with them. Carrying their son to his room, he tucked him into the bed and kissed him, then did the same for his sister. She yawned and looked up at him.

“Daddy?” She was getting better at saying it all the time. “Lub yous.” She rolled over and he froze into place. When Monica touched his arm, he looked at her.

“She said she loves me.” Monica smiled at him. “Please don’t tell me that’s not what she said. She said it.”

“Well, I should hope so; I’ve been teaching it to them for weeks. Khanny can say it as well, but she never would. I think she gets her stubbornness from you.”

He took her hand as she led them from the nursery. His daughter loved him. He smiled when he thought of all the time he’d been spending trying to get Khanny to say that he loved his mom, and realized that together he and Monica were trying to make them talk. He took her to their bedroom and pulled her into his arms.

“I love you very much, my wife.”

She snuggled against him. “And I love you very much, my husband. Now get your ass naked and spread out on that bed. I’m going to show you just how much I do love you.” His cock nearly hurt him when she ordered him like that. And who was he to argue?





Chapter 11



Wanera noticed the changes immediately. There were more beings saying hello to him than ever before. And they had taken to wearing name tags, names like “Tom,” “James,” and “Ken.” He no longer called them beings unless he hadn’t figured out their name yet.

He also noticed that he was sleeping better. He didn’t want to say it was the new mattress, but he was sure that was part of it. He also had silk sheets, something he’d never had before, as well as a television. He smiled when he thought of the last two evenings with Bill. They had been together every night since they’d gone to get the computers together.

He went into the epicenter, which was what they called the room with the computer, and sat down on one of the many chairs to see what they had loaded this time for his amusement. He was beginning to enjoy the station called YouTube. He especially liked the shows that involved dogs and their tricks.
