Chapter Thirty-Eight

Later that night I gape at Julian when he doesn’t flinch as Cape carries a decorative chair over his head. He plops it next to the one Julian has used as a bed the last few nights and breathes a satisfied breath. He dusts his hands and falls into the chair, settling in and checking the comfort level.

“Um?” I question from my fluffy spot in the middle of the bed. I ended up stripping my clothes and lounging in the bath for at least two hours so I’m fresh and clean in my Bella Luna set, all ready for bed.

Julian gives me an amused shrug and Cape smirks. “Oh, was you kissing me back not an open invitation to watch you sleep?”

My mouth falls open.

Julian slowly turns to look at Cape and narrows his eyes. I bite my lip, afraid of what’s about to happen. Cape made it seem like it was no big deal, and Julian did tease me with both prospects. Yet, I worry I crossed a line.

“I was waiting till her birthday,” Julian says, surprising me.

“Yeah, well, I don’t have the same moral code as you.”

“Clearly,” Julian growls and turns back to me.

I don’t know what my face is saying but Julian’s expression softens. “It’s okay, baby. I’m used to being the good one.”

That makes Cape laugh, really laugh and the sound fills me with a giddy energy.

“Do you disagree?” I ask Cape, feigning incredulity, wanting to be a part of it.

“Abso-fucking-lutely,” he howls.

“What? How is he not the good one?” I have to refrain from saying that Julian isn’t the leather jacket wearing, broody and cocky one.

“Well, I didn’t bring home a minor to fuck.” Cape smacks his thighs.

“Sue me!” Julian cries. “She’s fucking gorgeous and you know it.”

“Also,” I jut in. “He didn’t murder my dad.”

The room falls silent and the two share a look before leveling their gazes on me. Oh no, was that too much? They stare at me like I’ve grown a second head and I’m about to say sorry when Julian speaks.

“She’s funny too,” he adds, nodding at Cape who starts to burst out laughing again. “When she isn’t stuck in her head.” He gives me a side eye.

I sigh in relief and lean back into the pillows.

I don’t know what to make of Cape deciding to sleep in here, but the two being playful puts me at an ease that I don’t think I’ve ever felt.

As if on cue, Julian gets up and turns the light off. I hear him sink back into his chair, and the room is nothing but soft breaths and moonlight. After a moment, I close my eyes, and thankfully, there are no visions.

“So this is really all you two do in here? Sleep?” Cape breaks the silence.

“Yes,” Julian hisses back, and I giggle.

“Doesn’t seem very fun.”

“We’ll have plenty of fun when she turns eighteen.”

Their voices bounce back and forth in the dark and smile to myself, a little pleased with his promise.

“That’s two weeks away,” Cape complains.
