“Well, you know he’s sort of… crazy? Off-putting at least. And he’s absolutely enormous. I kept thinking he was going to crush her accidentally. And for all her talk, she’s pretty innocent…” Tessa trailed off, her concern evident.
“Hmm. Sound like any other couples we know?” Jace asked, his voice teasing. Tessa blushed and smacked her hand against his arm, her expression miffed.
“That’s not the same thing at all! They’re… and we’re… it’s just not the same!” she insisted.
“He’s obviously dedicated himself to her protection. What more could you really want?” Jace asked practically.
“Lots of things! I want Camilla to have love, and trust, and loyalty… I want her to have what we have,” Tessa said shyly.
“And she will. Believe me, if Camilla’s half as incredible as you are, she’ll have men falling at her feet. And judging by that temper of hers, she’ll give them a run for their money,” Jace said, amused.
“It’s just that… well, what if he’s not the right one for her? She’s my baby sister, and I want her to have the world.”
“The first time you met me, did you think I would be the right one for you?” Jace asked with a smile.
“Well, no. But if it makes you feel better, I did think you were some kind of sexy male model. You were too pretty to be true,” she said with a sigh.
Jace let out a deep laugh, entranced by his female. She had a strange but wonderful mind that always kept him on his toes.
“I think you’ll find that Camilla can handle herself just fine. Besides, we have better things to worry about,” he said, taking a mock-serious tone.
“Like what?” Tessa asked, a smile curving her lips.
“Like this,” Jace said, pulling her close and kissing his mate for all he was worth. She made that little sigh he loved so much, and they were once again lost in their own little piece of mated bliss.
