Chapter 205
"Look at that, you even tremble like a cat after it comes out of the water."
"Killian, I swear I am not in the mood to hear you talking about a cat right now. I know you purposefully threw me in the snow," Amelia said, rushing to take off her coat now that they were back at the house.
Their fun was interrupted after Killian "accidentally" lost his balance and Amelia slid right into snow.
"It was truly a mistake but this was a good revelation that you are in need of new coats. You were trembling far before you reached the frozen river. Blackwells don’t have high-quality coats," he said, picking up the coat she threw on the floor. The fur wouldn’t be enough to deal with the coldness of the mountain or maybe Amelia just wasn’t someone meant to be out in the old even for a second.
"You were moving around so skillfully and it just so happened that when we reached a big pile of snow you lost your balance and I was pushed in that direction? I’m afraid I cannot believe you," Amelia said, going to the fireplace to get it going but then she remembered her unique husband. "A little help with getting a fire going please."
Killian took his right hand off the coat and snapped his fingers.
Amelia stood in awe at the fire slowly growing in the fireplace even though there wasn’t any wood. If she was ever going on an adventure, there would be no reason to bring any tools. All she needed was Killian.
Amelia sat down right beside the fire to warm up while Killian continued to inspect the coat. "This is just a thought but if I were to become a demon, would I be able to snap my fingers and make a fire? Oh, wait. A better question is, can I do this without having to become a demon? You know, like some of your skills rub off on me?"
Killian looked away from the pathetic excuse of a coat to Amelia who sat on the floor. "For someone who didn’t want to change who they were, you certainly have a lot of questions about demons. There is no way for my skills to just rub off on you. Even with sex but if you want to try until it happens, I am happy to help you."
"I didn’t mean with sex. I meant as your wife doesn’t this make me special other than the fact we are married? Does it make us have some sort of connection in your world? For me as a human."
"It does. There is an emotional connection to knowing when the other is hurting or when they are happy. Since you are human, it will take a while for you to be able to understand it and know when what you are feeling is actually concerning me. The best person for you to speak with is the Queen of the underworld. I was informed they would be joining us for dinner tomorrow night. They’ll be joined by other important people both inside and outside of the underworld," said Killian.
