Elaru chuckled with amuseht”

Kiel’s face darkened “You still intend for us to share?!”

She looked at him with confusion “Of course, there is just one bed in here What can we do but share?”

“Floor is an option” He snarled

Elaru pouted “No way A bed, no round Why are youdeal out of this?” She continued in a teasing tone “Are you afraid of getting cooties?”

Kiel’s hands twitched, he had a sudden urge to strangle her After a few seconds, he restrained hih

What was it about her that caused him to lose his cool so easily?

Kiel reverted back to his standard response pattern – when teased, tease back

“It depends, do you share your bed with ave her a lopsided smile

Elaru didn’t see tone “Not really I don’t remember the last time I slept next to a male” She stopped to think about it

“Ho when I was out with papa and Wade”

Papa? So she was a daddy’s girl, was she? Only little kids called their fathers “papa”

“So hich one did you share your bed with?” He couldn’t help but wonder

“Neither” She laughed “Papa tosses around like crazy and Wade latches onto my boobs while asleep like a leech”

Kiel steeled his expression, suppressing a gape that threatened to ee Wait, what?! Is Wade a little kid with a mother complex?

“Watch your language” He squeezed out, but she conored him

“I slept on the floor and I had them share the bed But papa kicked Wade out of the bed in the ht, and he joined me on the floor And then I had to leave the room and sleep on the roof because Wade kept accidentally touching hed merrily “He is such a twit That’s the last time I let him sleep anywhere near me”

What kind of a childhood did she have to talk about such things so casually? And what kind of a father let his own daughter sleep on the floor?

And who the heck is Wade?!

He didn’t even notice he voiced that last part out loud until Elaru responded “Wade is a distant cousin of ether so he is like a brother to me”

“Ah, I assurope their sisters’ in your family?” Kiel’s eyebroitched

Elaru opened herit out, she actually reconsidered her answer After thinking about it for a few seconds, she sed

What is that supposed to mean? Kiel smacked his hand over his face in frustration Should I bla?

He sighed and removed his hand I’ll just have to teach her sohts were interrupted by the sight in front of him

Elaru was stripping her clothes off She stretched like a feline, as if flaunting her perfect body

“What does it look like I a?” She rolled her eyes

“I aht here!” Kiel motioned towards himself

“Exactly Why aren’t you taking off your baggage?”

That’s when he noticed that she was just taking off her accessories – her scarf, goggles, gloves, bags and a feeapons

He sighed in relief So she wasn’t that stupid But just to avoid any future trouble, he responded with: “Warnlike that in the future”

Elaru sht you were aware Didn’t you cover your eyes a second ago?”

Kiel was dumbfounded What was he supposed to reply to that? Tell her that it wasn’t out of consideration for her privacy but hi himself because of her stupidity?

Arrgh! This woman will be the end of me!

He face-palain

“Next tily

Kiel got the urge to facepalain, but unfortunately, he couldn’t, because he was already doing it

After a while, he sighed in resignation and followed her suit If you can’t beat thes He started taking off his arm protectors when Elaru stopped him
