Chapter Thirty-Six

“What’s wrong?” Missy asked as she stood on Roi’s deck looking out at the night stars. “I told you that I love your house. But I reserve the right to be upset that you didn’t bring me home to your real house until after we were married and I was knocked up.”

“Understood. But in my defense I wasn’t sure if they had the address to my house, or rather, our house now or not.”

Missy smiled. “Why in the hell do you have six bedrooms and seven baths if it was just you living here?”

“Are you trying to ask me if anyone has lived with me before?”

Nodding, she exhaled. “Yes.”

“From time to time I end up with Wilson passed out on the hallway floor. Twice I’ve even put him in a quiet bed. The rest of the time I just walk over him like he’s not there.”

Missy’s eyes widened. “You leave your friend passed out in the hallway?”

“Yep. Don’t worry, Jon stays over and writes derogatory statements on Wilson’s forehead in permanent marker when he’s that drunk.”

“How is that supposed to make me not worry?” Missy asked.

Roi shrugged. “I don’t know. I thought you’d be happy someone was close by him.”

“Writing things on his forehead isn’t the same as lending a hand if he needs it.”

“Oh, I’ll tell Jon to get another beer on hand just in case Wilson wakes and starts to lose his buzz.” Chuckling, Roi wrapped his arms around her tighter, carefully placing his hands over her lower stomach. “I love you so much, baby doll, that I’m terrified of leaving you and of taking you with me when we go down there.”

“Roi, I can kill a man with my bare hands. I’ll be fine.”

As much as a turn-on as that was, Roi still worried. “You’re my everything, Melissa. I mean it. Never in my life has someone meant so much to me, and the idea of anything happening to you is killing me.”

“Do you think the idea of you traipsing around the jungle with who knows what is sitting well with me?”

He hadn’t really considered how she felt about his safety. Roi just assumed he’d return to her. Now as he held her in his arms he realized how fragile life was. Being immortal was just a fancy way of saying they had eternal youth so long as something didn’t come along and kill them by the rules of their “immortality”—a blow to the heart with the right weapon and they were gone. The removal of his head wouldn’t leave him in any kind of great shape either. There were no guarantees.

“If something ever happened to me, the I-Ops would take care of you and our child.” Roi paused a moment before taking a deep breath. “I would want you to move in with Eadan again and…”

Missy twisted in his arms fast and pressed her hand to his mouth. “Don’t say it, Geoffroi. Eadan and I had our chance and we will always care deeply for one another, but we will never be more than extremely close friends.
