The house felt so warm that Kai couldn’t help but smile as he stared at the cup of tea that Atticus had given to him, his heart felt full and warm as he took another sip.“I heard that, Atticus!” Teresa called through gritted teeth, she was still right beside Catherine, who was smiling so hard that she could feel her facial muscles dying.“I swear to every living god that I meant everything I said as a compliment and not a death wish.” Atticus called back, his brows raising so high that it was almost obvious he was scared of Teresa.He wasn’t scared of her but their dynamic had become one that made Teresa such a big bully that every single man, including Kai, knows not to cross her deadly path.“I don’t know about that but I’m also swearing to you that I’m not going to kill you.” Teresa called back, and Lorenzo couldn’t hold back his laughter.“That’s her basically saying she’s going to kill you the next chance she gets,” Lorenzo said amidst laughter as he made his way towards Atticus

Kai’s gaze met his grandfather’s who only shrugged, he had no idea whether or not he should tell them and it’s not because he didn’t trust them to keep it a secret but because he didn’t want to laden them with more things to carry.He had only just found out about the divine realm and regardless of the help, and what his grandfather had told him, he had his own doubts because he couldn’t stop thinking about what they were doing when they were in a pinch.They vowed to protect him and Catherine but they had comfortably sat on their own hands and watched as they fought against a realm that’s practically immortal.“Nothing much, I promise,” Kai said, yawning and scratching the back of his head as he laid on the couch so comfortably that the gang almost didn’t want to believe that it was really ‘nothing much’.“We’ve been through too much to let ourselves get bothered by anything else, I know you can feel the energy still cackling in the air….” Kai’s voice trailed off as he smiled.“But r

They were both quiet for the longest time, doing nothing but listen to each other breathe, they were both exhausted but now that they were together, in each other’s arms, neither of them wanted to sleep.Catherine sighed, and turned around, her gaze instantly meeting Kai’s and holding it there for a long moment before she finally cleared her throat, wanting to say what she’s been keeping in.“I didn’t think you would make a decision as rash as that.” She said, that wasn’t what she really wanted to say but it was a start, the kind of decision Kai had made because of her were all the kinds that could have been really detrimental to his health.“Why would you think that?” Kai asked, chuckling for a bit and then stopping when he saw the seriousness in her eyes. “I mean, you should know that when it comes down to you, I wouldn’t think twice.” He finished.“I know,” she replied honestly, and that was exactly what she was scared of, why wouldn’t he put himself first? Why wouldn’t he even thi

As if those were the words Kai needed to hear to take the next step, he wasted no time getting on top of her, eliciting a chuckle out of her as she ran her fingers into his hair.“You look like you’ve been waiting for me to ask.” She said amidst her chuckle and Kai didn’t answer immediately, his dick was kicking so hard against her thigh, his breathing had paced and he needed time.He didn’t want to say anything that would compel her to think he only wanted her for her body, of course he knew that she knew he loved her wholeheartedly but still, he wanted to make sure his action matched his words.His forehead lolled against hers, their breaths mixing as he looked at her, and in a very slow motion, took her lips into his mouth and sucked on it as if that was the only thing he needed to love.“You have no idea.” He finally spoke, his voice gravelly as his tongue forced her lips apart, pushing past her defenses and engaging in a playful tug of war with hers.Catherine’s breath hitched, a

They both laid there without saying anything, the electrifying air between them was enough, and the fact that they’d both felt just how real they both are was even more than enough.Kai couldn’t help the smile that tugged at the side of his lips, he had thought that he was going to hate his new life, but he wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.“What? Can I assume that you’ve made up some nasty scenarios in your head and you’re laughing because of that?” Catherine’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts.He didn’t respond, and instead, he gave in to the smile and was laughing like a man gone out of control. There was a hole in his heart, one he had thought that no one in this world would be able to close.But…. Finding his real family, he didn’t know when that hole started closing on its own. That wound had fully healed, and now everything he could have done for the Benson sisters are things he would do for his real family.He wished he didn’t have to go through that ordeal
