kissed it with just a touch of tongue.
She snatched her hand away and leaped up. “I don’t think so, Rahmiel. At least, not yet. We really don’t know each other that well. And I didn’t appreciate waking up this morning and not being able to remember things. I’m glad we did that binding and all, but I don’t think I’m ready for an affair.”
Rahmiel stared at her, mouth open. “An affair? We’re bound,” he finally said in an outraged tone.
Kari decided this conversation could go on for a long time.
“I’m going back to bed. With Amber, not you. We can talk some more when I wake up.” Kari left the room.
A few moments later, Rahmiel burst into Amber’s bedroom, where both girls were settling down to sleep for a few more hours.
“Come back and sleep in our bed, Kari. I promise I won’t touch you.”
Kari ran her eyes over him. He was wearing just a white cloth wound around his groin, and his wings were raised a little and quivering. His eyes were stormy, cheekbones red. He looked absolutely edible. But not edible enough to make her want to sleep with him. She felt grumpy and tired.
“I don’t think that would be a good idea, Rahmiel. We’ll talk in a few hours.”
He stormed out of the room.
Amber raised an eyebrow in disbelief. “Wow, you’d rather sleep with me than him?”
“Well, not really. But I told him no sex until we know each other better, and if I sleep with him I’ll probably jump him.”
“No doubt,” Amber said in a faint voice. Then she frowned. “Was he pouting? Was his bottom lip sticking out? Can Angels pout?”
“I’m pretty sure they can. He didn’t like the no sex idea.” Kari buried her face in her pillow, embarrassed.
Amber started to giggle. “An Angel pouting.”
Kari joined her. Suddenly, everything seemed hilarious.
“There is no way I’m going to be able to sleep now, Amber said, climbing out of bed. “Plus, Tressa might feel a little uncomfortable with those Angels. I’m going to help her cook.”
“All right. I don’t know if I can sleep, either, but I think I’ll try.”
Rahmiel could hear the girls giggling as he stomped down the stairway to join his friends.
The older woman, Tressa, was busy cooking, and Tehmuel was helping her by cracking eggs into a bowl. Rahmiel snorted. He could probably win a bet that Tehmuel hadn’t cracked an egg in five thousand years or more. These guys must be bored to the point of insanity in Angel land.
He went in the living room. The boy was playing with a small house cat. Rahmiel looked at the cat with interest. The last pet cats he’d seen on Earth had been quite a bit larger than this long haired fluff ball.
“So, why aren’t you asleep with your girl?” The boy’s tone was only a little mocking.
“She said that we don’t know each other well enough and we have to wait until we know each other better, talk and stuff. She went to sleep in the other girl’s room.”
Auriel grinned. “Hmm. I thought you said she was just crazy about you.”
Rahmiel frowned. Boys his age could be so obnoxious. He remembered that now.
“She’s been through a lot. She’s tired and needs her sleep.”
“Maybe she doesn’t know human women are supposed to be subservient to their Angel lovers? Wasn’t that part of that oath you all made human women take years ago?”
“I never made any woman take that idiotic oath. That came from one of those tribes of Angel worshipers.” Rahmiel shuddered. “I avoided those women. How would you know about that, lad? You weren’t even a babe in arms back in those days.”
Auriel shrugged. “I was tutored at the Grand Library. My tutor would fall asleep, and I would wander around, reading stuff.”
