Chapter Eight

“I really, really hate flying,” Nikola whined when they touched down on the runway in Casper. “If I can’t get there by foot or car, I’m never going anywhere again.”

There was a decidedly green hue to the shifter’s complexion, but Layke had to turn away to hide his grin. It wasn’t that he didn’t sympathize, but Nikola’s vow was a bit dramatic, even for him.

“Flying isn’t so bad.” Stretching his arms over his head, Aspen arched his back and groaned. “It just makes me so tired.”

Considering they’d been traveling for nearly twenty-four hours and had crossed over several time zones, it wasn’t surprising. If he didn’t have so much to do, he’d crawl into bed beside his mate and sleep for the next few days. The sad truth, however, was that he had a great deal to accomplish, and very little time to do it.

Unbuckling his safety belt, he patted Aspen’s knee and stood, scooting out into the aisle to address the other occupants on the private jet. “You’re all welcome to spend the rest of the day and the evening at The Council house. Cian will take you back to Haven in the morning.”

“I know it means more traveling, but I’d really like to go home today.” Zavion pouted his bottom lip and stared imploringly up at Cian.

Ruffling his mate’s hair, Cian smiled and bent to kiss Zavion’s forehead. “Aye, I think I’d like to see home today as well.”

Layke understood the comfort of home, and he didn’t begrudge the men. Offering his wish for their safe travels, he took just a moment to talk to Cian about the transportation of their prisoner before he began gathering his and Aspen’s things from the overhead bin. “Are you ready to see your temporary home?”

“I’m ready to see my temporary bed,” Aspen corrected, but he was smiling that vague, mysterious smile he’d worn the first time Layke had met him.

He still couldn’t believe it had only been a week.

After such a long trip, the twenty-minute ride from the airstrip to his small place outside of Casper seemed unusually dreadful. Aspen’s snores from the passenger seat were kind of cute, but Layke was profoundly relieved when he pulled to a stop in his driveway.

“Hey, sleepyhead, we’re here.” He stroked Aspen’s hair and caressed his cheek with his knuckles, rousing his sweet demon from his dreams.

“There is a giant on your porch,” Aspen mumbled, leaning closer to nuzzle against Layke’s palm.

At first, he thought the man was still sleeping, but a quick glance through the windshield revealed the reason for his remark. “That’s Camdin, and he’s actually a faerie. He lives here with me.”

“I didn’t know you had a roommate.”

There was no judgment or accusation in his tone, but Layke pulled his hand away and winced. Camdin was his oldest friend, yet he’d been so wrapped up in Aspen he’d completely forgotten the fae. It was a flimsy excuse, and he doubted either man would consider it acceptable. However, when it doubt, tell the truth.
