Chapter 22

It had been a long day. Cael poured two glasses of wine while Addison lit the fire. Relieved to be back at the beach house, they relaxed in front of the warm flames. He downed his wine and poured another. It was his first drink of the day and he hoped the wine would dull the ache in his shoulder. He and Bart had shared a pizza and Cael had settled for a soda since Bart was out of beer. He didn’t think it was wise to hang out at the Cliff Hanger the whole time Addison was working. It just didn’t look right. He knew she’d be safe there. As long as there were other people around, Eidolon wouldn’t dare try anything. Cael wished he knew what shape the bastard had taken. The possibility of him masquerading as some sort of animal or lurking undercover as an ordinary human being had him wondering about her friends and he tried to remember if any of them seemed suspicious.

“You’re being mysterious again and scaring me.”

He took the box and sat next to her on the sofa, reading the note again.

“Well, I’m sure you know what this is about now,” he said.

“Yes, but who do you think it’s to?”

“Well, me of course. He obviously didn’t get a chance to finish it, or maybe it was a note he wrote to remind him to tell me about you.”

“Ha, you really are full of yourself, aren't you?”

He took a firm grip on her shoulders, firmer than he intended. He turned her body to face his and looked into her eyes. “Why do you continue to doubt me?”

Her smile faded and she gulped. “I don’t doubt you. You just ...”

“Just what?” His voice sounded deep and weary. He was exhausted.

“Sometimes your arrogance can be a bit exasperating.”

“Well, I’m sorry you find me so annoying. It’s not something I normally think about controlling and I’m sorry my mood offends you. I don’t relish the thought of your father putting all his trust in me like this, but he did.” He frowned, finished another glass of wine and poured more. He was still in pain and irritated by her remark.

“I’m sorry, I’m not offended. You don’t offend me.” She touched his shoulder and he winced.

“Oh, God.” She covered her mouth with her hands. “I’m sorry; I didn’t realize you were still in pain. I wonder why it still hurts so much. Let me see.” She unbuttoned his shirt and examined his shoulder. “It looks completely healed. Why didn’t you say something?”

“Maybe you need to fine-tune your healing ability. Why do you think I’m guzzling wine?”

“I’m sorry. It was the first time I’d ever done something like that. I didn’t know. Let me see what I can do.” Her voice was sultry as she slipped his shirt off and showered him with soft kisses. First, his shoulder, then grazing over his collarbone, she moved to his neck, up to his mouth, and her teeth nibbled his lower lip before she pressed her mouth to his.
