“You’re asking Death if he wants hot cocoa?”
“I want you to tell the Berserker that I know the pact has been broken. Without the covenant in place, all deals are off.” Grim takes a step closer to the man. “He broke the decree, and now he will deal with the consequences.”
“Look at you,” Aeson coos at me. “You brought a man home, I’m so proud of you.” “Three.” I pull my jeans up and go on to my toes to get them over my hips. “Yes! I knew you were listening to me all these years.” She sighs wistfully, like a proud mother.
“She has no sense of self-preservation,” he announces to the room. I ignore him. I would only need self-preservation if I felt threatened, and I don’t.
“Quite simply, it means we’re all connected to you. Fated, if you will,” he answers. I drop my hand from my face and into my lap. “Fated for what?” Calix takes a few steps closer to our group. “Fated mates,” he announces.
Which is met with grouching from Gunnar. “You only like him because he fed you. I was around, too. I’m the one who brought you all the stones,” he replies crossly. I slowly turn to face the man-child who is about as close to a tantrum as an adult could get. “You were the one leaving the rocks?” I question. “Not just rocks—they’re gemstones.” Gunnar folds his arms over his puffed-out chest.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Grim states, before I even have a chance to glance at him. “If having them around makes you happy, I can choose to not kill them. I’ve suffered their existence this long.” He lowers his head an infinitesimal amount, like he’s conceding to me.
“Make her doubt us again, and I will seek her forgiveness after slaying you, rather than ask her permission.”
“Little spoon is nice.”
“May I have a kiss, please?”
“Put her in danger again with your thoughtlessness, and I will end you.”
“If they hurt her, I will hang them with their own entrails after I shred their souls.” “She’s perfect,” Gunnar whispers softly.
“I want to know what you feel like inside me, what you sound like when you come,”
“Oh stars,”
Oh lord, don’t tell me that Grim, my stoic gentleman, is a filthy talker.
“I’m going to worship you, and if you’re a good girl…”
I have no idea what he meant, but if he’s offering his soul, I’ll take it and hoard that shit like a dragon with treasure. I won’t ever let him leave me. I shake that thought away, scared that it even came from me.
“I want every inch of my body to cover yours. I want you under me, around me. I want to be inside you so deeply, you won’t know where you end and I begin.”
“It means my all, my everything, my universe.”
Grim swats the side of his dick, and it sways slowly. My eyes are drawn to it like a fucking pendulum. “This is hard again; I’m in need of you.” I slap my hand over my eyes.
“I was waiting for you,” Grim answers sincerely.
Grim 😭😭🥺🥺
