bet he’s just worried what it’ll mean for their relationship.”
Cia shrugged, taking a deep breath.
“Mom, what does Dad smell to you like?” She knew her father’s perfume. It was one with pine needles and some wooden essence.
“Your father smells to me like a clear stream in the early morning hours. There’s something wild about him, something that has nothing to do with his perfume. He smells best to me when he gets out of the shower and hadn’t used any shower gel or lotion. It’s clear and mouth-watering in a way,” her mother explained, ending her sentence with a dreamy sigh.
“He smells eatable to you, doesn’t he?”
Her mother laughed. “Not quite the word I would have used, but if I’d be thirsty, he probably could be the only one quenching that thirst.”
Cia slowly nodded, wanting to say something when her mother cocked her head.
“Dinner is ready. Your dad just placed the last fork on the table,” she reported and Cia felt like crying right away again. She missed those special powers.
“I wish I could do that,” she sighed.
“It still wouldn’t make you the right one for him if you are not meant to be,” her mother said gently, obviously knowing exactly where that wish originated.
Cia couldn’t help but walk over and hug her tight.
“Right now I am no longer sure where I am meant to be,” she mumbled and her mother patted her back.
“Time will tell, sweetie, time will tell. Now, let’s have dinner. Go and wash up.”
Cia shook her head with a smile. Even though by now she looked older than her mother – thanks to the humanity – she still felt like a little girl around her.
“Yes, Ma’am,” she grinned, following her mother for a night that felt more normal than any night had in the past.
Kaden was still worrying his bottom lip when he opened the front door; freezing the moment the raspberry-vanilla-smell hit his nose more prominent than before, and just then he spotted the couple on the sofa.
“Hey there, Cupcake,” he grinned, watching how a very turned on Jaden pushed her off his lap, getting up so he could stand in Kaden’s line of sight, not that he needed that. His mind had taken in enough of her to know that she was a beauty: brown hair that fell past her shoulders, not as skinny as Jaden usually picked them and definitely rather on the small side.
“Why is everyone calling me that?” she snapped, coming to stand next to his twin. She had violet eyes that sparked with quite fury, then though she only stared.
Jaden had forgotten to mention his twin, he guessed. He gave her a smile.
“I’ve always been the more handsome one,” he winked, her expression softening the slightly. If he wouldn’t have looked that closely, he might have missed it. “And we call you that because you smell like one. What’s your name?” he wanted to know.
“She won’t tell,” Jaden growled. His twin’s expression darkened, if that was still possible.
“Maya,” Cupcake said at the same time, giving him the tiniest of smiles.
Kaden couldn’t help but watch her. She looked breakable, but that added only to her appeal, or so he thought.
“Get the fuck out, Kaden,” Jaden snarled, looking ready to attack him. Finally Kaden remembered that he had promised he’d stay away from that girl and was supposed to tell his brother that Colbin wanted to see him – and her. All the emotions playing over his twin’s face scared him though. There was something so intense about Jaden, Kaden wasn’t sure he had ever seen that in him.
“Colbin wants to see you,” he finally said, keeping his eyes steady on Jaden.
“Can’t, got something else to do,” Jaden replied curtly.
“More likely someone else,” Kaden teased, unable to keep his eyes on his twin. The girl blushed deeply. “Don’t mess with Colbin anymore, Jaden. He’s mad enough. Besides, you need to bring her.”
“Bring me where?” She certainly had spunk, but something about the way she looked at him
