Drantos glanced back at Dusti. She sighed, clutching the bedding to her chest. He knew she could overhear everything. He looked back at his father.
“I’ll pass. It’s going to be a long time before you’re ready to step down and have me take over. Humans have these things called honeymoons, and my mate deserves the best. That would be me spending at least a week alone with her. You have this, Dad.”
His father appeared stunned.
“Don’t come to our window again. And I’m buying curtains.” He closed the glass between them, locked it, and returned to the bed. Dusti smiled.
“I can’t believe you told him no.”
“You’re my priority, Dusti. Did I ever tell you that VampLycans keep dens? They’re safe bunkers hidden in the ground. We built them in case we ever went to war with the GarLycans or humans. It’s not the most romantic place but no one but Kraven knows where mine is located. He helped me build it, and I did the same for him. We could lock ourselves inside and no one would be able to find us.”
A glint of excitement sparked in her eyes. “Really?”
“Yes. How would you like to see our den?”#p#分页标题#e#
She looked tempted but shook her head in the end. “Bat and Kraven might come back. We need to be here.”
“They won’t return until Decker is no longer a threat. He’s stupid and crazy. I can take a cell phone and Red can text me when he hears from Kraven.”
Dusti grinned. “It sounds like a plan.”
“Yes, it does.” He leaned in, brushing his mouth over hers. “You’re always going to come first to me, sweetheart. My family is just going to have to adjust.”
