Warriors' Providence (Cadi Warriors Book 2)(46)

"I do need a few things to wear, and a bra would be nice, but I thought Kagan grounded you."

Giselle gave Providence a look that said 'really.' Providence couldn't help the laugh that came out. Just saying the word 'grounded' to a grown ass woman sounded ludicrous.

"He did, but that just means he has to go shopping now too." Giselle led Providence through the manor, to hunt down Kagan. "I'd feel bad for what I'm about to do, but Kagan has been working a lot and needs to take a break, plus he's got the credits." Giselle wagged her brows at Providence.

Providence had completely forgotten about money. This just kept getting better and better.

"I can't be a mooch. We have to find something for me to do." Providence insisted.

Giselle laughed and raised her eyebrow at Providence. Considering Providence knew next to nothing yet about Cadi society, it was highly unlikely she was gonna go right out and find a job.

"Ugh." Providence groaned. "I feel like I'm becoming more trouble than I'm worth."

"Hang in there, we'll figure something out." Giselle encouraged as they found their way into a large room that looked like a gym.

Kagan and Madhava were training with the warriors. Madhava was swinging a sword looking positively delicious as his muscles rippled and flexed, dripping with sweat.

Providence looked around for Dagaa but he wasn't in the room. She sighed in frustration. He'd been up and gone before she awoke this morning. She'd been hoping to see him after all that had happened yesterday. She needed to talk to him and try to sort some things out.

"To what do I owe this honor my lovely Pet? Hello Providence." Kagan greeted them.

"Since I am grounded, you my big man are taking us shopping." Giselle said cheekily.

"Jeezelle we are in the middle of training."

"Look buddy if you ever want to touch my boobs again you will take me to find something to strap these puppies up." Giselle shoved her tits out, taunting Kagan.

Kagan held up his hands in surrender.

The more Providence saw Kagan and Giselle together, the more she noticed how cute the couple was. Kagan was domineering and Giselle pushed his limits, but then both of them gave in and mooned over each other like a couple of teenagers.

Madhava jogged up with a smile for Providence. It transformed his face. Providence found herself caught up in the way his eyes twinkled, the tilt of his mouth, and the dimple in his cheek. He had her smitten.

An image of Dagaa entered her mind and Providence groaned.

Providence felt like a dog chasing its tail. How did she get herself in these messes?

"Providence, Giselle."

"Hey." Providence smiled back at Madhava.

"Madhava you mind handling things today? I'm apparently going shopping." Kagan asked Madhava.

"Not a problem." Madhava replied with a bow of his head.

"Let me wash up I'll be out in a few minutes." Kagan said to the two women before heading off to take a shower.

"Here I have something for you." Madhava went over to a bench along the wall and rummaged through his cloak before jogging back.

Providence couldn't help but admire him coming and going.

"Here." Madhava handed Providence a device the size of a cell phone.

"What's this?"

"It gives you access to credits. Get whatever you want."

"Thank you." Providence didn't know what else to say. She wasn't used to this sort of thing.

Madhava wrapped his arm around her back and pulled her in. He didn't seem to mind that everyone in the room was watching as his lips descended on hers. Madhava was new to kissing, but he'd taken to it like a fish to water. His tongue peeked out teasing her mouth followed by a little nip and a rumble in his chest as his kiss deepened. Providence practically melted in his arms. She had to grip him to keep from sinking to the floor. When he released her, she was breathless.

"Have fun fiery warrior." Madhava said with a grin before returning to his training.

Giselle stood staring at her with an open mouth.



An hour later Providence found herself standing with Giselle trying to explain what a bra was to an elderly Cadi seamstress while trying not to laugh.

"No Marita this is how they usually are." Giselle pointed to her breasts "And they're only going to get bigger, the more pregnant I get." Giselle explained to the woman who was sizing her.

"Oh I see." The seamstress replied. “Well I'm sure I can make something. If you two want to go into the sitting area, I'll pull out some different material for you to pick." The seamstress said as she left the dressing room.

"Okay so this isn't the worst shopping trip I've been on." Providence chuckled when they were left alone to get dressed.
