Chapter 170: Can’t a guy just have a little bit of fun?
Everyone went to breakfast, leaving Sir Forsythe, Cass and Sir Sanders alone at the campsite. Cass didn’t mind. This was when Cass found out that Sam, bless his soul, had given Sir Forsythe a few of his romance books for him to pack away into his bag.
He’d also, as if he knew better, had given Sir Forsythe the giant demonology book for Cass to shove into his side bag.
Sir Forsythe had said nothing about the book, and Cass was grateful for it. Sir Sanders had given Cass a look, but when his gaze had met Cass’, he pretended to lock his lips and throw away the key. Cass’ eyes creased with his smile as he’d done that.
It was such an absurd thing to see from someone with dog ears that it had made Cass want to laugh.
However, Cass shoved the book into his bag and kept out one of the more tame romance novels. The one about a priest and a demon. He thought it was fair to read something like that right now. He was giggling to himself the whole time, hoping one of the priests would come by so that he could give them a heart attack.
That didn’t happen, tragically. Instead, everyone came back, fed, after Cass had had his morning meds and some water and snacks, all while reading his book.
Everyone seemed surprised by his relatively good mood, but it was only Lucian who seemed pleased to see him in good spirits. Lady Fiona still had a tightness to her jaw, but Cass could tell it wasn’t directed towards him. Even Vespertine seemed to be in a mood, while Lady Ava gave Cass a small wave.
Lucian made a beeline for him, still half naked, and glanced at the book that was in Cass’ hands. He couldn’t read the binding, but he did seem interested. He bent, getting close to Cass’ face as he tilted his head, trying to read the words on the pages available to him. Cass was glad that he had just finished a rather steamy sex scene.
He knew Lucian would tease him if he caught him in the middle of that.
