Chapter 12

Rome

“Ahhh, Seren!” Waverly was so happy to see their guest that as soon as Briar May opened the door, she launched herself like a fifty-pound cannonball. She could have kneecapped Seren if she hadn’t bent down at the right moment and scooped her into her arms. As it was, she still had to take a step back.

“It’s good to see you again,” Seren said to Waverly’s hair since she’d buried her head into her neck. “It’s good to see you too, Briar May.” She nodded at Castor, who was on the couch with a napping Sadie on his shoulder. “The barely passable mate.”

Rome nearly choked on his own saliva when Castor shot a suspicious look his way.

Seren smiled innocently. “So I’ve heard.”

“He did kidnap my sister,” Rome said in his defense.

Briar May gave him a furious hands-on-hips pose. “Are you kidding me? That was because…” She cut herself off, seeing Waverly perk up in interest. “That was because of incidents which are in the past now. Everyone is happy. Well, we are. Yes, Castor kidnapped me to pay a debt, but he fell in love instead.”

“I can think of few worse things,” Rome muttered under his breath.

Seren grinned evilly. She deftly maneuvered Waverly onto her back. She had her shiny, gorgeous pink hair done in long braids. Waverly immediately grabbed them, but didn’t shout anything about riding her like a horse.

Christ, Rome would like to ride Seren like a horse.

Mount her like a stallion, at least. She could do the riding.

“Does anyone want a drink?” There. He could be nice when he wanted to be. He could be a good host. “That unholy terror you call a daughter was screaming up enough of a storm all afternoon that you should both be parched on her behalf.”

“Brother, dearest, I love you, but you’re truly horrible.” Briar May’s lips twitched anyway. She shared a look with Castor that probably begged him not to kill Rome.

Whatever. They were the ones who had come and intruded on his space.

“I want chocolate milk!” Waverly called from Seren’s back.

“Regular milk is fine,” he corrected.

She scowled at him. The sugar. Lord, it was in everything. He refused to let Waverly’s teeth rot out by age fucking seven.

“What would you like, Seren?”

“Water is fine.”

“For me too,” Briar May said. “If you have tonic water, Castor would love that.”

“Tonic water?” Rome gaped at him. “What kind of house do you think I’m operating?”

“Your sister was just trying to get your goat. She’s a wise woman with a good enough sense of humor and decency to put up with men like us.” He patted Sadie’s back. The little beast who never stopped crying and letting her rage at her doting, loving parents be known, had done them all a miracle and finally passed out.

Rome shuddered at the thought of any small child coming near him. If Waverly had been a newborn when he’d had to take her, he didn’t know what he would have done. It wasn’t the diapers and the spit up that got him.
