sucking the last crumb from my finger with a smirk of triumph. They both cursed me good naturedly and Reginald purred as he smiled at me. “Watch out boys,” he said as he leaned back in his chair. “I think we’ve just let a Lion into the pride instead of a Lioness and if we’re not careful, she’ll be crowning herself king before we know it.”
My gaze was drawn to a figure up on the bleachers, sitting at the far back in the shadows. Gabriel's chest was bare and his wings were folded behind him as he sat watching, obviously not wanting to be noticed. He absolutely didn't want to be pointed out either. "Hey! Gabriel!" I waved enthusiastically. "Gaaaaabe!" He refused to look at me, but every single person on the pitch was turning to look up at him. "Gaaabrieeel!" I waved harder and he finally raised a hand in a brief wave and I chuckled low in my throat. Total BFFTB (best friend forever to be).
"You can have her any time without me there, you know that right?” I looked to Dante. “Both of you can. And if you're not ready for a gang bang Gabriel-" "By the moon," Mars muttered then hurried away. Woops. Gabriel looked from me to Elise, clearing his throat and Dante folded his arms as he waited for his response.
They soon returned dressed in large matching coats and boots and Gabriel tossed me some too. I pulled them on as Leon settled down on the couch, looking like he was about to take another damn nap as he slung his arm over his eyes. "Make sure to get a tree that looks exactly like the one in that photo,” he reiterated. “I want everything to be perfect."
"Because that's what it means to be family. Your pain is my pain, your joy is mine too. I don't have to know why you're feeling it to experience it with you. You're a part of our pride and even if you are more Lion than Lioness half the time, it’s the job of the males in the pride to make sure the females are always content and happy. It hurts me to see you hurting. And it hurts Leon even more, which is why he hatched this hairbrained scheme of his."
"I know you didn't mate me for my money, little monster," he teased, leaning forward to nuzzle against my cheek before pressing his blazing hot lips to mine in a kiss that stole my breath. "But I do have money. A fuck ton of money which I worked damn hard to steal. And you're the only person I want to spend it on, so you can't say no."
I bit my lip and tore the parcel open, finding a car key like I'd guessed with the addition of a ring with five silver keyrings on it. I looked at them carefully, finding the constellations for five different star signs on each of them in diamonds. I didn't even ask if they were real diamonds because I was willing to bet they were. There had been this whole article in the papers a few weeks ago about a museum being robbed and their display of priceless aqua diamonds going missing and Leon had been suspiciously absent from our bed that night.
