truck here overnight. If someone can get us a lift into the city we can visit with some family and then
come back tomorrow to haul everything in," he suggested.
Ryuu looked thoughtful. "Who can we get to drive you to town?"
The front door opened and Noah walked in. "Did you guys know there's a whole bunch of
people and trucks out front?" He had a duffel bag slung over each shoulder and was walking on
unsteady feet.
Ed reached out and grabbed both duffel bags in one hand.
Ryuu smiled. "Perfect timing Noah. Could you do us a huge favor and drive these two
gentlemen into Lycaonia tonight and pick them up in the morning?"
Noah nodded. "Sure, but I have to get our stuff out of the car before anyone can fit in it."
Ed and Mattie nodded at each other. "Point the way kid. We'll unload your car so you can
drive us into the city."
Noah smiled wide. "Really? That's great; some of that stuff is heavy." He beamed at the older
men. Ed ruffled Noah's hair.
"Yeah, come show us what needs to go where." Noah walked off with Ed and Mattie chatting
about The Jitterbug and how it was the best place in the world.
Jaxon groaned. "I knew he smelled like coffee. I'll never get to sleep, he'll talk my ear off all
night."
Ryuu turned to Jensen. "I'll show you the space you'll be converting, if you'll come with me."
They both headed up the stairs.
"I don't know what in the hell is going on anymore. But since Aiden is in my office, looks like
we'll have to go to the media room. I wanted to get measurements anyway to see how many feet of
cable we'll need to set up servers. Come on Hulk on Wheels!" Meryn plopped down on Jaxon's lap to
his astonishment.
"Mush!" She pointed to the media room.
Elizabeth looked to the ceiling. "Meryn! Do not treat your minion like a sled dog!" She
stopped abruptly. Had that just come out of her mouth?
Meryn erupted in giggles and Jaxon laughed. He reached down with both hands and tipped the
chair backwards, making Meryn squeal as she grabbed him around the neck, pretty much cutting off
his air. But he only laughed again and when the chair came back down on the floor he spun the wheels
and they raced down the hall.
Elizabeth couldn't believe the way her life had made a drastic turn.
Don't treat your minion like a sled dog?
Standing alone in the foyer, she began to laugh. How had she survived up until now without
these crazy people in her life?
The front door opened and she was surprised to see her mate walk in.
"Where is your charge?" she asked.
He walked over and pulled her close nuzzling her neck. The gesture sent a jolt of electricity
between her legs. "I explained what happened to Colton and Darian; they graciously offered to look
after the little bastard while I check in on our renovations. I'm assuming that one of the trucks outside
belongs to the construction team." He ran the tip of his nose back and forth over her neck.
She relaxed in his arms. This was exactly where she wanted to be. The encounter with
Sterling had left her more shaken than she cared to admit, even to herself. She loved how Gavriel
always seemed to be able to give her exactly what she didn't even know she needed.
"Yes, Ryuu is showing them the study now. Jensen the foreman will have to call in two fae
craftsmen to get the closet finished by tonight so my things can be delivered tomorrow. Noah is taking
the delivery drivers into the city for the night and picking them up in the morning. They are leaving the
truck here overnight and complete the delivery tomorrow." She explained and with Ryuu's apron in
her hand she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"When I heard that little punk had tried to hurt you, I seriously wanted to kill him. Where is
Aiden? I don't want that deviant living under the same roof as you," Gavriel growled looking around.
"He's in his office on the phone with his brother asking about said deviant. Meryn already
asked Aiden to send him away, but because of how new the program is, we can't afford for it to seem
like we're playing favorites," she explained.
Behind them Ryuu and Jensen were coming down the stairs. Gavriel stepped back and
wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Ryuu walked up and Elizabeth handed him his apron.
"I take it you're the foreman?" Gavriel asked.
"Yes, sir. Nice place you all have here." Jensen said.
"How long would it take your crew to build an addition to the Alpha estate? Big enough for
five trainees?" Gavriel stared at the foreman whose jaw dropped.
Ryuu began to chuckle and walked away tying his apron back on.
"Sir? Are you serious?" the foreman asked.
"Deadly." Gavriel responded.
"That kind of project takes time, materials, man hours..." Jensen thought about it. He looked at
Gavriel. "How urgent is the request?"
"If we don't move one of the trainees out of here by the end of the week I may lose my
immortal soul for murdering the little shit in his sleep," Gavriel snarled.
"So kinda urgent then. Okay, let me call in some favors. I'm not going to lie, sir, this might get
pricy." Jensen flushed a bit.
"Do whatever you have to. Call whomever you have to. The sooner you get it built the larger
the bonus," Gavriel offered.
Jensen nodded. "Let's get this closet built for your lady and I'll start making some calls." He
nodded and headed out the door already yelling for his men.
"You're the most incredible man I have ever met and I love you." Elizabeth hugged her mate
tightly.
"And you are the most important thing in my life, how could I not ensure your comfort and
safety. It's best for everyone if they have a space of their own. Maybe after time, the urge to rip out his
throat will diminish." He shrugged. "If not I can always torture him during drills."
"My hero!" she pretended to swoon.
He dipped her down, kissed her lips and then straightened them both. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
