Chapter Fifteen

Bastian

IT WAS AN HOUR later than I expected. This was an especially difficult pickup and I needed to discuss what was happening with Acasia. She was key to the situation and she wouldn’t be happy about her role.

I walked into the suite and found her passed out on the couch, an empty bottle of wine laying on her chest. This wasn’t what I’d expected to find, but how could I not smile? Removing the bottle, I picked her up and carried her to bed. She mumbled, but I couldn’t understand what she said. I removed her clothes, regretting that I couldn’t take my bride this night. I lay beside her on the bed and willed my stiff cock to calm.

Hours later, she scrambled up and ran for the bathroom. My bride did not handle her alcohol well. I followed and leaned down beside her, gathering her hair to keep it out of her way.

“Go away.” Her hand limply tried slapping me aside, but I ignored her.

“If you remember correctly, you’ve upchucked on my feet before.”

“Those were claws or talons or something, not your human feet.”

“One and the same. Are you finished?”

“I will be after I die. You should have been here and stopped me from drinking so much.”

“Yes, it is my fault, silly female. Here, let me help you back to bed.”

“You could argue about it or something.”

I was trying not to laugh, but it was impossible. “Come on.” I put her back to bed, found a glass for water, and practically forced it down her throat. She sputtered groggily a few times, and thanked me before falling asleep. I crawled back in next to her hoping she’d rest until daylight.

A loud groan from Acasia, who was burrowed beneath me, had me opening my eyes to bright light pouring into the room.

“Oh, this is not good. Can the sun go away?”

“You are hung over, female.” I moved over a little so she could breathe better.

“Please do not remind me. I was fine while the other women were here.”

It took me a moment to answer because I had to bite my lip. “I think you continued after the others left. Their beastkind metabolism also helps them handle alcohol better than a human.”

Another loud groan. “I’m never drinking again.”

“From what I’ve seen, it’s probably wise.”

“Can I stay in bed all day?” she whispered.

I gave her a gentle squeeze. “No. We must return home and we need to pick up a package first.”

“If I wasn’t so sick, I would beg to know if it’s a surprise for me.”

“We should talk about it first, but no it’s not for you.” I had no way of knowing how she would react, but I was betting it wouldn’t be good.

“I need to get in the bath so I can die first please.”

A chuckle escaped me. “I’ll have food waiting.”

She slapped my chest. “No, no food. If I make it out of the bath alive, I know food will most definitely kill me.”

She wobbled to the bathroom, her naked body giving me ideas that I could do nothing about.
