Jaron nodded. "Yup." He grabbed a piece and popped it into his mouth. It was sweet and fruity, dissolving on his tongue.
Keegan watched him, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Is this a honeymoon suite?"
Jaron shrugged, trying to play it cool. "We just got mated. I thought it was only appropriate."
Keegan's smile widened, and he stepped closer to Jaron, sliding his arms around his mate's waist. "I didn't know you were such a romantic," he teased.
Jaron leaned in and kissed Keegan, letting the vampire taste the sweetness on his lips. When he pulled back, he said, "There's a lot about me you still don't know."
They hadn't spent enough time together yet.
Maybe they never would.
Jaron hated that thought, so he pushed it aside.
"What do I not know?" Keegan asked. "Tell me everything."
Jaron gave his vampire a smile and drew him onto the bed.
He leaned back against the pillows, pulling Keegan close. He ran his fingers through the vampire's silky hair as he began to speak. "When I was a kid, I used to sneak out of the house at night and go flying. I'd soar over the city, feeling like I could touch the stars. I got caught so many times but I never stopped."
Keegan chuckled. "A little rebel from the start, huh?"
"You know it." Jaron grinned. "I also had this weird obsession with collecting rocks. I'd fill my pockets with them and then forget about them until they wound up in the laundry."
"Why rocks?" Kegan asked, tracing patterns on Jaron's chest with his fingertips.
"Honestly, I don't know," Jaron said. "I guess I just found them more interesting than the gem stones the rest of my family fawned over."
Keegan hummed. "So you like rocks and flying. What else?"
Jaron considered the question. "I love the sound of rain on a rooftop. The smell of freshly baked bread. The feeling of the sun on my face." He paused, then added softly, "And you."
"There's the romantic again." Amusement tinged Keegan's voice.
"Is that a problem?"
"No." Keegan leaned up to look at him. "I just never thought I'd end up with a romantic. Then again, I never really pictured myself in a relationship at all."
"You never wanted one?"
"I never thought I could have one," Keegan corrected.
"And then you met me." Jaron flashed his mate another grin. "And I wouldn't let you get away." He turned on his side and extended one of his wings over his vampire. "Now you're mine."
"All yours," Keegan agreed.
"So tell me about you."
"There's not much to tell."
"I don't believe that."
"Okay." Keegan thought for a moment. "You said you wanted to touch the stars when you were young. That goes for me too. I don't keep those star charts around because I really think they help. I just find them cool."
Jaron laughed. What a dork. "It's okay, I won't tell anyone about your secret nerd side."
Keegan smacked Jaron's chest playfully. "You better not. I have a reputation to maintain."
