“Shit!” Priest grabbed her hand. “If you gentlemen will excuse us.”
Cas shook her head as he dragged her from the room.
“Let’s get that wine open,” Amir said.
Cas couldn’t help but smile. Ellais was now blue with sadness, of course, but the anger and guilt had been replaced with hope and love. She knew that his squad brothers would see him through.
Chapter Six
Priest swung open the door to his quarters and escorted her inside. “These are my rooms.”
She walked in and immediately noticed the lack of color. Smiling, she eyed her mate. He was beaming so proudly, she didn’t want to discourage him.
“It’s very… clean looking.”
Priest shut the door, then led her around the room. A cream leather sectional created a, homey-looking nook in front of a very impressive-looking television.
“Don’t tell Meryn, but I love to game every bit as much as she does,” he confessed.
“What kind of games?”
“You’d think being a unit warrior, I’d like first-person shooter, but I actually love survival games.”
“Minecraft?”
He blinked. “No way.”
“Ark, Conan, Valheim… shall I continue?”
“Platform?”
“Console.”
He hurried to the wall beside the tv. “I have an Xbox and a Playstation.”
She eyed his setup. “Same.” She pointed at the wall. “Do you think we’ll have room to mount a second tv?”
“I’ll make room.” He stared at her. “Never in a million years did I think my mate would be a gamer. You’re just so…”
“So what?”
“Elegant. Articulate, gorgeous, perfect.”
“Why can’t I be an elegant gamer? Is this a sexist thing?”
He scratched his head. “I think it’s more a fae thing. They’re the race that has yet to embrace human technology.”
“Well, this fae has lived her adult years amongst the humans and was there for every iteration of games as they evolved.”
“Meryn will try to recruit you for Call of Duty. Tell her she’s out of luck. You’re on my team.”
“I thought you didn’t play fps?”
“I mean, shooting nazi zombies is always fun. She has Jaxon, Noah and now Nigel and Neil. She can’t have you too.”
She turned to look at the room, and the lack of decor and color made sense. Most of his attention was focused on this sitting area.
Seeing her look around, Priest pointed to a far wall. “The bathroom is to the left. On either side, I had them install his and hers walk-in closets. On the right, there are two offices with a small kitchenette in the middle with a jack and jill half bath.”
