“Come on, my little one. No more questions.”

“Fine. I hope there’s food on this date. Knox has been more demanding these last few days.”

I laugh. “He’s a growing demigod. What do you expect?”

“We’re not taking the elevator?” she asks as I lead her to the stairs that lead up to the attic.

“No, we’re going up.”

“A date in the attic. Oh, now my interest is piqued.”

I reach to palm her ass and give it a little squeeze. “You say that as if I don’t know how to have a proper date. I’m wounded, little one,” I tease.

“Sorry?” she says, making a cute little face at me.

I can’t help but dip my head and plant a kiss on her sweet, sexy lips. This past month has been the greatest of my entire existence.

My little mate is perfect. She makes me smile and laugh. Something that was highly rare before she arrived.

“Kendrick,” she gasps as we enter the attic of the clubhouse.

I grin from ear to ear as she spins in a circle, looking around with awe in her eyes. This is better than the reaction I was expecting.

“You really listen. Thank you,” she sings.

She’s been having thoughts of wanting to go out in the sun. We haven’t allowed our mates to roam out and about the city without us. Since we have so much going on, on top of our responsibilities, there hasn’t been time for one of us to go out with them.

I don’t want her to feel like a prisoner. Guilt has been nagging at me. I’ve taken her from one gilded prison to another. I truly don’t want that for her.

Looking around, I smile as I take in what this must look like for her. The attic is flooded with sunlight I’ve created just for her. I’ve lined the floor with grass for her to take her shoes off and wiggle her toes in it as she longs to.

Thinking of her desire to do so, I walk over to her and kneel to remove her shoes from her little feet. Either of us could magic her shoes away, but I want to do this for her.

I place a hand on the back of her ankle and glide my palm up her smooth skin. She places her hands on my shoulders as I lift her foot and remove her right shoe first.

Lowering my head, I kiss her cute toes. Placing that foot back down, I then repeat the same actions with the next. Once both shoes are off, I run my hands up the backs of both legs and knead her sexy, thick ass as I look up into her eyes.

“I will bend the world to see you smile.”

She cups my face in her hands and presses her lips to mine. I deepen the kiss as I stand and tug her into me. She moans into my mouth.

I break the kiss and press my forehead to hers before we get too carried away. There’s still a full date before us. I want to spoil her and feed her before I fuck her to sleep.

“Come, let me feed you two.”

I help her lower to the blanket. The deep sigh she makes once she’s seated causes me to laugh. She places a hand on her swollen belly and smiles up at me.

My heart swells as I thank the gods for her. Ray seems to be happy to be carrying this child. I have so much admiration for her.

“What?” she says as she tilts her head.

“You are beautiful. The gods favored me.”

“As they have I. You are very handsome, mister. Now come sit with us. We’re hungry.”

“As you wish.”
