Sage shrugged. “Some. Most rent when needed. I have more than enough money to afford the luxury of having my own. My own plane, I actually have two, my own yacht, and my own helicopter.”
“You have another plane and a yacht?” I asked. I thought it was just the one that we took to Florida. Had no idea Sage had two.
He nodded. “The one you know about is my personal private jet. Then I have one that's big enough to fit over two hundred members of my pride. I also have several properties, one on forest land where we hunt on full moons.”
“I want to see it all,” I said, because I loved learning more about Sage.
He nodded. “You will. I want to share everything I am and everything I have with you.”
I tried to face him, but my seatbelt kept me restrained, so I unbuckled it to turn in my seat to face him. I reached up, caressing his face. “If we survive this battle, I'm never letting you go. I want to share my entire life with you.”
“I'm not letting anything get in our way,” he said.
“Sage,” was all I could say. I climbed into his lap, kissing him more passionately than I had when I was drunk on lust from drinking Salino's blood. I ground my ass over his hard cock and we both moaned in pleasure. I kissed him all over his face. “I love you... so... fucking much,” I said between kisses to his forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then I glued my lips to his once more. My tongue slipped inside his hungry mouth and we kissed like there was no tomorrow.
“We'll be arriving in three minutes,” our pilot said.
I pulled back because, for that moment, I'd forgotten we were in a helicopter going to Damon's home, and that we weren't alone. All I could focus on was Sage. My dick was poking a tent in my sweats, but I forced myself back into my seat and strapped in.
Sage was panting hard, as was I, because we were just that into each other.
I felt the heat rising in my cheeks and knew that I had to be blushing like crazy. I couldn't even look MB or Shi in the eye... not yet at least.
Sage chuckled as he brushed the back of his hand over my red cheek. “You're adorable.”
I sucked my teeth and sighed, because I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. I mean, had that pilot not said anything, who knows what I would have done. “You could have stopped me.”
His smile was wicked. “And why would I ever do that?”
The heat in my face went up a few notches and he laughed again, before kissing me. His lips calmed me as they claimed me, and I was lost in him once again.
Sage pulled back and adjusted his pants as his own erection began to subside. “The first chance we get to have some alone time, I'm going to tear your ass up... again,” he said.
I grinned at him. “You better. I'm yours.” We'd had sex only a little while ago, but it didn't matter. I could never get enough of Sage.
He growled and the sound sent vibrations throughout my entire body. I couldn't see a future without Sage in my life. Like him, I didn't even want to imagine such turmoil. No, this was our chance at happiness and I wasn't going to let vampire emperors or Dark Gods get in our way.
“Well, I wasn't expecting to see that kind of show,” MB said with a smirk.
“Please don't tell me you're the bashful type,” Shi teased her.
MB snorted. “Not a word I've ever heard to describe me.” The look she gave Shi was almost challenging.
Shi gave her a shady side-eye, but remained silent.
If I didn't know any better, it would seem like the two of them were having their own pissing contest. Now, even I had to wonder who'd win in a fight between them. Considering I'm biased, my money was on Shi.
The copter landed and only Sage and I climbed out as the blades slowed their rotation. I still kept my head ducked low as we made our way over to Damon and his two bodyguards. It did surprise me to see that he had been the one to greet us on the rooftop. Once inside, he began to speak.
“I have one of those things you warned me about. Well, it's actually one of my former griezels,” Damon said.
My heart leaped into my throat and my pulse quickened. “Oh my god, you found one?” I asked, keeping pace with him.
He nodded. “I have teams of my best hunters out on search and destroy missions. I did want one alive, but according to reports, it was far too difficult to bind him. He had his griezel abilities and whatever else he gained after being turned. Very troubling. It took four of my best to take him down. After that encounter, I ordered everyone to the safe houses. I can't risk any of my griezels being turned.”
Hell no, not if it took four of his best to take one out! “Can we see it?”
“Did any of your griezels get bitten by it?” Sage asked. He was right beside me as we walked to wherever Damon was taking us. He had the bag I'd be taking with me to Damon's other locations.
