Chapter 66
She lets out a long breath, looks at the both of us and then nods. “Fine.”
I go and kneel before her and give her a soft kiss, holding her hands to try and give her some strength.
“I need to go and shower now. I’ve got work tonight.”
“Not tonight, Angel, and before you verbally bash me, because I know that’s coming. We just want you to get some rest. We don’t want you burning out. Tomorrow will be hard for you, just please, take tonight to rest.”
She goes to open her mouth, probably to hurl some shit at me to back down but the office door opens and before Tony walks in two purebred german shepherd puppies come running inside.
“OH MY GOD!!!”
She jumps off Luca and straight to the floor on her knees where the puppies come toppling over her like little balls of energy.
“You say you wanted puppies, Honey!” Tony puffs his chest out and gets his imaginary note pad out to tick that off the list.
“They’re so cute!!!!! she squeals out as she cuddles them and then her joy turns into tears and she’s crying hysterically as she sobs into their fur.
“Do you…not like them, Honey?”
“I love them, they’re perfect, thank you.”
The three of us look at each other quizzically. That’s an odd reaction…
“What are you going to name them, Princess?”
She picks up one of the pups, a pure black coat and looks him over intently.
“This one is Deimos, like the God of Terror.”
Then she picks up the female and does her check over her.
“She will be Keres.”
“The Goddess of Death.” I state, and she looks at me with a wicked smile.
“Exactly. My little Goddess of Death” and she nuzzles her face.
“Well aren’t they just adorable little demons!” Luca says laughing as Deimos licks his face.
“What do you want for dinner, Angel?” I ask as she comes out from her shower.
“Oh gods, yes! My pick! I want a pepperoni pizza with mac and cheese on top!”
“Uh…ew?” She smacks my shoulder and gives me a stern look.
“I’ve been craving it all day!”
“Alright but if that’s your choice then you’re definitely not picking the movie.”
I wander downstairs and catch Tony and Luca bringing in the dogs from the yard.
“Look at you too being all domesticated and shit.”
“Oh fuck off” Tony shoots at me.
“What’s for dinner?” Luca asks looking in the fridge.
“Pizza, but Ariana wants mac and cheese on hers.”
Chapter 66
Theres a loud crash and Luca drops a jar of pickles he was pulling out.
“LUCA! NOT THE PICKLES!” Ariana storms in but I catch her in my arms before she gets anywhere near the broken glass.
“Put me down you bloody brute! I wanted those pickles!”
She’s thrashing around in my arms when Jeremy and Hayes come running in.
“Boss?”
“Go get some pickles before she kills me!” Luca yells as he runs around the kitchen island to protect himself.
“Honey?” Tony slowly approaches us with his arms wide like he’s trying not to scare a rabid animal. She stops struggling and holds out her arms, so I let her go to him and she latches onto him like a little monkey. He takes her over to the loungeroom and says something about letting her pick a movie while the guys get dinner and pickles. I groan out loud, now I know we’re watching a chick flick. I look over at Luca who’s still cowering, and he gives me a questioning look. I just shrug my shoulder and get to cleaning up the mess.
