Chapter 448: Unbreakable
A/N: Song For The Background ~ Never Let Me Go By Florence + The Machine
I heard rustling sounds followed by footsteps and then splash.
"Fuck!" Dace roared and I twirled instantly with wide eyes. Dace was half submerged in the water, hissing, probably from the temperature because of the steam coming off it.
I laughed, out loud, holding my stomach when it got too much.
"And why the fuck are you laughing?"
"Sorry..." I said between laughter, tears at the corner of my tears threatening to spill free. "It’s just... you’re a werelion and I thought the heat never bothered you. I guess the water is too hot for you huh?" I giggled while walking close to the pool. "Nice to see you get worked up about something" I mused.
He glared at me and before I could satisfy myself with more amusement he dragged me into the water and I screamed at the hotness.
"DACE!" I screeched, kicking and screaming at him. He laughed wholeheartedly. "It’s not fucking funny!" I barked trying to get my wet hair out of my face.
"Is it now?" he mused, moving to where I assumed the regulator was.
"Just not too cold" I rushed and he moved back to me.
"Why are you scared of cold water?" he asked genuinely curious and it was odd seeing some flicker of emotions in Dace’s golden orbs, they weren’t hardened like they used to be, they were soft as they looked at me, they were soothing. I’m not sure he’s even aware of this right now. Whatever wall clinging around him was temporarily gone, so I let mine down too.
