Story: Cosmo
And now with this knowledge, he felt as if he could breathe.
If they never had children, it wouldn’t matter to him, but it did to Cosmo.
And so they would finish their explorations of the house and create a glorious home together.
Suddenly, something that Bakli said pinged in his brain. “You said other worlds. There is the human world, Lunastra, the Land of Summer. Are there others?”
Bakli gave him a pursed lip and the most adorable little frown ever. “Why in the universe would there only be three? Those are the strongest openings, but they are not alone.”
“Oh, that could complicate things.” He chewed on his bottom lip. Hopefully, they’d be able to communicate. “Well, I suppose we will search for them. Look for them, protect them. Oh dear…”
“The magic will provide.” Bakli’s laugh was merry. “For now, work on your house and your family. This core family will be together for a very long time, and this place In Between will become a warren of joy. Allow yourself to experience it.” He frowned deeply. “And no more napping!”
“How about small naps?”
“Small naps are fine, no more than a month.”
His laugh huffed out, happy and deep, almost knocking Bakli down. “Oh, you absolutely have my word.”
He wasn’t sure his Cosmo could go an entire month without anything.
Maybe without sleep?
That he could imagine.
But why would he sleep so long now? He had his mate to keep him busy as well. He loved Cosmo so.
“Now, about my hoard…”
Chapter
Fourteen
Cosmo helped Cullen move a chest of drawers into his bedroom. They’d found it in Hawk’s attic, which was full of the most amazing shit, and Cullen had immediately claimed it as his. It was huge, and he was panting by the time they got it into place.
“Why didn’t we make Corbin and Hawk move this?” Cosmo asked.
“Because Corbin would have called it for his seed collection.”
“Oh, good point.” Cullen’s house was fascinating. It was a massive A-frame, formed from huge logs, or what seemed like massive beams, but something had happened, and the house had hundreds of secret doors and hidden places to wander, tunnels to explore. It was a marvelous place—not scary, just fun.
And somehow, no matter how often any of them wandered, no matter where they went, they ended up back at the big kitchen that formed the rear of Hawk and Corbin’s house.
“I think it looks perfect here, don’t you? What are you going to put in it?”
“Toys. I think it would be so much fun to have a place with a ton of toys.” Cullen patted the dresser, bouncing. “I want this to be a game room.”
“That’s cool, I like that. Put the dangerous ones at the top, hmm?” One day, there would be babies. One day, these houses would be filled with family.
“Yes. We put them in order of age. Crawling, toddling, and then the adult toys all the way up at the top.”
“Good deal.” He helped get the piece in just the right place, then stepped back to watch.
Oh, it was perfect. It fit just right.
And Cullen was making it this…colorful, wonderful place full of pillows and blankets and illusions. He could get lost in there for days.
“Perfect. Now help me move my bed to that wall.”
