I snap out of my thoughts before looking away, blushing. He looks like something out of someone’s dreams, and I get to have him for the rest of our lives. Then the vision of him holding our child flashes through my eyes, and I can’t help but almost want that. At the end of the day, I’m sure he will be a wonderful father, considering how he is with Storm. Does he want kids sooner rather than later? But if we have children now, it’ll feel like it was ordered by Luca rather than our decision. Our relationship has been dictated enough by others. Children are something we can decide for ourselves.

Soren shuffles out of bed next to me, and I bookmark those thoughts for later when I can ask him. We dress and join everyone downstairs. Serena and Abe have two seats next to them, and we join them in the breakfast array.

Everyone is making small talk when Serena turns to me, waggling her eyebrows and whispering, “So, did you guys have as kinky of a night as Abe and I did?”

I balk at her question; we are in front of family. Not to mention, IknowSoren is straining to hear our conversation, and based on the huge grin plastered on Abe’s face, he heard it as well.

“Serena. Not now.” I give her a side-eyed glare.

She pouts, turning back to her breakfast. “When can I visit you? But like a planned, expected visit?”

“Pleaseplan a visit. The guard had to go to the hospital for a broken nose,” Soren mutters next to me, and I can’t help but giggle a little at his statement and Abe’s shenanigans.

“It will be this time, as long as you let me see my sister,” Serena says casually, cutting into her sausage, “Otherwise, you’ll be greeted with more than a guard’s broken nose.”

Soren can’t help but let out a teeny tiny smile. He likes Serena and her feistiness. She’s always been that way. My heart melts a little at his smile; he seems more at ease today than yesterday.

“When do you fly back?” Abe asks.

“Today, shortly after breakfast,” Soren answers before I get the opportunity to speak.

Soren’s always in a pissing contest with Abe; he doesn’t like me talking to Abe. I swear it’s because it’s another dude, and Soren is possessive. But at least he isn’t possessive in the same way as Tristan was. In fact, they aren’t even comparable.

“That’s a bummer. Well, I’ll just call you to schedule something, okay, Freya?” Serena and Abe walk away from the table, leaving us with my parents. They’re deep in a conversation with Soren’s parents; they don’t even acknowledge us, which is fine by me.

I continue pushing my food around my plate, not wanting to eat right now. Soren stares at me, “Two bites of everything, and we can go.” My eyes widened at him. “If you think I’m joking, we will sit here all day and night.”

He talks to me like I am a child. I look at our parents to make sure they aren’t paying attention, and they aren’t, except for Luca. He’s watching us like a hawk and even looks pissed. Soren told me at one point that Luca thought it’d be best to not get close to me, but he couldn’t help it.Oh well.

“Soren, I’m full. I’ve already had my fill of breakfast.” I bat my eyelashes at him.

He grins. “Cum is not sufficient breakfast.”

“Maybe not to you, but it is for me. I’ll take a little more of that if you’d like.” I offer up to him.

He shakes his head. “You better hurry up. I’m pretty sure your parents will talk to you next.”

My eyes widened at him. We have a staring contest for a moment, but I cave first and take two bites of everything. I only did it since he was probably right. We were going to be the next victims of their conversation.

“See. How hard was that?” Soren questions, wrapping his arm around my neck as we walk back to our room.

I roll my eyes. “I still would much rather have your cum,” I grumbled to him.

He pulls me closer to him and presses a kiss into my hair.

Welcoming us back to our room, Storm immediately runs to us, jumping up and licking kisses on any available surface for Soren and me. I kneel in front of her as she kisses my face. I giggle and pet her vigorously.

“Let’s start to pack so we can leave. I’m ready to have you all to myself again.” Soren comes up from behind me, wrapping his arms around my middle.

I smile genuinely, and for the first time in a while, I’m excited about being on our own.

Chapter twenty-seven

Freya

Whenwearriveatthe cottage in Germany, I take in the picturesque setting. No one was around for miles; a pond, plenty of trees, and ivy trailed up the house. It looks like something out of a fairytale. Storm sits between us and shakes with excitement as she knows we’ve arrived at our destination.

“Do you like it?” Soren asks as we get out of the car.
