Chapter 15

Eric glanced around the campfire, and saw that everyone was staring at Ethan with the identical stoic expressions, and he knew that not one of them had a clue what Ethan was talking about. "Who's Gloria? An ancient battle or something?"

"No." Ethan met his gaze. "I had a pet rabbit once," he said, daring anyone to defy him. "Her name was Gloria."

All the other warriors stared at him. Eric blinked. "What? Did you just say you had a pet rabbit named Gloria?" Surely he'd heard wrong, or that was some code phrase warning them that he was about to attack or something. Right?

Ethan shrugged. "I've been running around for two hundred years chasing monsters." His blue eyes flicked toward Jordyn. "I haven't sat and talked to a woman since before then. I never sit. I don't want to sit. But..." He ran his thumb absently over his brand, caressing the blade of the sword that had defined his life. "Jordyn reminds me of what life was like before this, so yeah, I admit it. I had a rabbit when I was a kid. She was white. She slept on my pillow, and she had the cutest damn fluffy tail you've ever seen."

"No shit?" Wolfe asked, his blue eyes looking even paler than usual as he stared at Ethan like he'd lost his mind.

Ethan held out his arm. "I got a tattoo of her." He pulled back his cloak to reveal a black drawing on his biceps. "I know it looks like a skull, 'cause you know, I couldn't have a bunny on my arm, but when I bend my arm like this, see? It's Gloria."

"Damn." Wolfe leaned over to inspect it. "I had no idea. You told me it was the skull of the first guy you killed."

Ethan pulled his sleeve down. "You guys tell anyone, and I'll kill you."

"Word." Wolfe hesitated, and then spoke up. "I actually like the smell of flowers," he muttered. "It's pretty cool."

Eric stared in shock. "Flowers? You said the roses remind you of the blood that spilled across your mother's body when she was murdered by your dad. That's why you always have that rose shoved into your back pocket when we go into battle. Because it provides motivation."

Wolfe shrugged. "Yeah, well, they do, but they still smell good, right? Hyacinths are my favorite. Damn, I like that shit."

Eric sat back, listening in shock as Maddox then spoke up, as if all the warriors were desperate to take advantage of this opportunity to simply be a regular guy, and not the lethal, ruthless warriors they had to be all the time. "I still remember my first kiss," he said. "I was fourteen. She was the baker's daughter. Almost got thrown into the bread oven by her dad when we got caught, but yeah, her lips are still the softest thing I've ever felt in my life."

Ethan nodded. "Women's lips are like that. Soft as hell."

"No shit," Wolfe said. "You know that moment when her lips first touch yours? It's like the world stops, right? Nothing like it.
