”I should hope so. We’ve taken to teasing each other more and more. The tension is nearly unbearable. We still haven’t had sex. We’ve done other things but never seem to have more than an hour to ourselves. I’m tempted just to book a hotel and tell the hospital Nic is dead,” Cassi joked poorly.
She sighed and adjusted her hair over one shoulder. ”Alright, let’s go. You look stunning,” Cassi complimented. She led Kimiko to the living room. They met up with Caden and Nero shortly after.
Caden laughed. ”Well, maybe I am a little nervous but mostly excited,” he admitted. Caden led Nero down the stairs, where they met Kimiko and Cassi in the living room. Caden grinned when he saw both women looking exceptional.
The house had grown quiet for the time being, the area around the gazebo having been set up for their little ceremony in the garden. While they were gone, the staff would set the table with an elaborate meal.
”I do love that I have chosen to surround myself with such beautiful things,” Caden said, grinning at the women in his life.
Cassiopeia rolled her eyes and hugged Caden tightly. ”Things? I’m not so sure.” She turned her attention to Nero. ”Deiseil?”
Avery checked his watch and shook his head. ”By the time we cross the yard, they should be with Caden and Nero in the living room. We can escort them from there.” Avery ran off of punctuality. It was important with his job not only as a chauffeur but also as a bodyguard.
Once the two of them were ready, Avery walked with Nic across the yard. Avery asked Nic about work and how he was finding their training. It was small talk, but it was also common ground between the two of them. Avery admired and respected Nic's work at the hospital, and the more Avery learned, the more his respect grew.
They reached the back pad, and Avery paused. Kimiko was hugging Caden, and Avery couldn’t help but admire her. She looked like the night sky, and his fire for her burned bright in his chest. He caught a flash of red and saw the back door opening. Cassiopeia walked out in a stunning red dress that had Avery looking at Nic. Avery patted Nic’s shoulder before he walked past.
”You’re going to give the man a heart attack,” he teased.
Cassiopeia smirked. ”That’s entirely the point.” Avery laughed at that before he walked inside. His eyes reclaimed Kimiko as his focus, and he smiled.
