She sighed and shook her head.“That face isn’t fair.From your mother or your father?”
He chuckled.“If she makes contact, you will find out.”
Eudora smiled and sent texts to Delia and Den.The responses came in five minutes.Den was picking Delia up, and they were heading over.
“Looks like family is going to be here after all.Wanna hold a barbeque?”She grinned at him.
“First, I am going to show you around the upper floor, but you have a good point.I should order some groceries.”
“So, Hektor is gone?”
“Oh, yeah.Half an hour ago.”Sern laughed.
Eudora snorted.“Fine, show me to my makeup table and shower.”
He grinned.“You figured it out?”
“Oh, the craft room was a huge giveaway if I hadn’t noticed the soft and cozy sitting room.”
Sern shrugged.“I want you to be comfortable.”
“Uh-huh.And close by.”
“There will be no acceleration of intimacy.”
“What, like fucking in a moving car or falling off a cliff?Sorry, the mental image is mindboggling.”
Sern paused and tilted his head.“It is startling but not implausible.”
She laughed.“Right.So, upstairs?”
He slid an arm behind her and exhaled slowly as they walked into the house and up the stairs.The largest room was where he started and then something that would qualify as a wardrobe and dressing room.It had the feel of ancient royalty and less the suburbs.
The other rooms on the second level were large, alpha-sized beds, all with en suites.
So this place could host ten alphas with their significant others.
“You should open a bed and breakfast.”
He chuckled.“I don’t like other people enough.Definitely don’t like strangers.”
“Yeah.I think I know why.”She sighed and touched his hand, squeezing it.
“Let’s head downstairs.The groceries are going to arrive soon, and I want to get them put away so Den doesn’t know that this was your idea.”
She grinned.“I am curious as to what you think is proper for grilling.”
He chuckled.“So am I.Is the main room suitable for you?”
“Yes, but I still need a workroom with a ton of screens.”
He nodded.“Yes, I suppose you would.Do you often work from home?”
“In the evenings.I know that you do evening stuff.”
He smirked.“Less than I used to, but I look forward to it again.”
She looked at him as they walked down the stairs.He had to let the grocery delivery onto the property, and she was surprised when it was one of the dark elves.
