“I always do.” I smirk.
“Don’t we know it.”
“What are you lot whispering about?” Raven asks as she enters the kitchen, making me jump guiltily. Ace laughs while Thorn shoots me a withering look. I can’t keep secrets for shit, and I vowed there wouldn’t be any more lies between us so before Thorn can jump in with something, I answer her.
“We’re talking about Christmas.”
For a second her eyes light up but just as quickly her face falls again. I pull her into my embrace and kiss the top of her head.
“I promise it’ll be the best damn Christmas you and Phoenix have ever had. Together.”
She gives me a small smile like she doesn’t really believe me and I decide there and then that it’s a promise I will not break, even if I have to go there and kidnap Phoenix myself to bring her home.
“I’m sorry,” I whisper in her ear on impulse.
“What for?”
“I’ve been a moody asshole, haven’t I?”
She smiles because she’s too polite to say yes, even though once upon a time she’d have called me out on my shitty behaviour and probably broken my door down to chew me out.
“Did you at least channel it into something creative?”
“I tried.”
“Well there you go then, it wasn’t a waste. But maybe the next time you need some inspiration for your muse, we could get creative together.” She winks and my dick instantly stirs to life. I want to drag her to my room for inspiration for the rest of the damn week. It’s been way too long since I had a taste of her. I’m formulating my response when Ace interrupts my filthy thoughts.
“Princesa,” Ace calls. “Help me.”
“Sure. What do you need?” Raven pulls away from me with a bright – forced – smile on her face.
“Shopping. We go?”
“Of course.”
Together, they leave the room, and I start plotting how I can bring Phoenix back, the law be damned.
Ace’s Letter
(Translated with help)
Good morning princess in training. I hope you are having a lovely time with your grandmother. We are all missing you, but we are getting ready for your return.
I cannot decide if we should decorate for Christmas or if we should wait so that you can help us. We are going to have a real tree and it is a lot of fun to pick one out, so maybe we should wait and take you with us.
I also thought it would be nice if you decorated your bedroom too, so we will have to go shopping for pink Christmas decorations when you come home. Or any colour you like.
Until then, I am baking lots of cookies and freezing them so that you can try them when you come back. I have lots of new flavours but they never turn out as good as when my favourite helper is with me. I miss your help in the kitchen.
I can not wait to have cuddles. Did I say we miss you?
Be good.
See you soon.
Love,
Aljaž
P.S. I baked these cookies for you yesterday and used a special delivery man to bring them to your house with this letter, so they are fresh. Tell me what you think, are they too chocolatey?
