He ran his hand down Cody’s back, hoping he survived waking him up. It was worth the risk to his life when Cody opened his eyes and smiled. “Sol. You came back.”
“I told you I would. And I brought presents.”
Sol nudged the box on the nightstand and Cody’s eyes lit up. “Drew was telling me about them. He said—”
Cody pushed himself up and stared wide-eyed at Sol.
“What did he say? What’s wrong?”
“He said he’d make sure I had them at my wedding. Did we get married? Did I sleep through it? Did you fuck me so hard you gave me amnesia? Well? Answer me, Sol!”
“We did not get married. No, you didn’t sleep through it. I tried to fuck you so hard I gave you amnesia, but it didn’t work. I’ll have to try harder next time.”
Cody smacked his arm before grabbing the box. “We totally got hellhound married. It was the biting thing, wasn’t it?”
Cody shoved a doughnut in his mouth and groaned. It sounded a lot like the one he’d made for Sol the night before. Sol scowled.
“Don’t scowl at me. I’m fine with it. I mean, you’re gonna have to put a ring on it, but you should probably tell me you love me, first.”
“You told me not to.”
“Since when do you listen to me?”
Sol scooted closer and took the other half of the doughnut out of Cody’s hand. He shoved it into his mouth, then grinned at Cody’s scowl.
Cody grabbed another doughnut and Sol moved around so they were both leaning against the headboard. Cody settled against him, and Sol let out a sigh. “I love you.”
“I figured as much,” Cody said.
But he had a twinkle in his eye as he held out the other half of another doughnut.
“You don’t have to say it back.”
“Okay.”
Sol growled.
“I’m immune to those already. Oh, hey, what’d the goddess have to say anyway?”
“Nothing much. Just made me alpha of the pack.”
Cody blinked, then laughed. “Yeah, right. Which doughnut do you want next? I’m glad you brought the whole box. We can share them.”
Sol decided to let him live in denial for a little longer. Besides, he wanted another doughnut, too. He pulled apart one of the really gooey ones and held it out to Cody.
“Wait… were you serious?”
“Yes, I seriously love you.”
“Not about that. Clearly, you’re in love with me.”
Sol growled again.
“I meant about the alpha thing.”
“Oh, yeah. I was serious.”
“Did I get hellhound married and become the second in command of a supernatural force of super soldiers in one night?”
Well, when he put it that way. “Yeah?”
“Goddess, I love you.”
Sol grinned. “Yeah?”
“No seriously, we’re going to have a crazy, insane life, aren’t we?”
“Pretty much.”
“Do you think the pack would get mad if I called them my puppies?”
Sol snorted. “I can only defend you from so much, Cody. There are lines.”
Cody finally took the doughnut Sol held out. They chewed quietly for a moment before Cody turned to him again.
“We’re going to actually and for real have a crazy insane life.”
“You up for it?”
Cody crawled into Sol’s lap and cupped his cheeks in his hands.
“Yeah, HellBent. I think I am.”
