Rafe’s POV
I closed my eyes and tried my best to calm down. After a while, I returned outside and handed her over a water glass filled with warm water, as it was cold.
Sitting in the lounge chair, watching the kid in silence, she accepted the water without any protest or showing any hostility towards me after that kiss.
Well, she kissed me back as well after I let her go just after the brief touch of her lips. So what happened later, she was the one to escalate it. Not like I was putting blame on her, because I was the one to start it out of my own greed to be close to her, to touch her. But I appreciated she was well aware of her own actions.
"The beautiful night calls for the drinks," Lucian said, to which others agreed.
At the mention, Jason soon brought the liquor bottles from inside the home, but two were different—two tiny almond milk bottles that were meant for the kids.
Jason passed each bottle to everyone. The liquor bottles to us, while he offered a milk bottle to Raven. "You are still a kid, so this is for you."
Raven accepted it.
Jason went to Eira and offered her one. "For you."
She didn’t look at him and frowned.
At least this guy was now trying to communicate. But given her temper, she wasn’t going to forgive me for that torture anytime soon. To be honest, bastard deserved it.
Lucian went to Eira and offered her his liquor bottle, "Want this one instead?"
She accepted the opened bottle and had a sip of it already.
Roman settled in the chair next to her. "It’s not a strong one, so you will be fine."
The Eira we remembered was minor and never had drinks, so that’s why Jason must have brought milk for her.
But time had changed, and god knows what kind of evil stuff had been downed her throat all these years. Alcohol was nothing in front of it.
"She is a big girl now," Lucian commented as he looked at Jason, who simply got himself one liquor bottle and settled in one lounging chair, away from hers.
"Yeah, she just tried to prove it to me a while ago," I commented with a wicked chuckle and settled in the lounge chair next to her.
She glared at me and looked away.
My brothers knew what I was talking about.
Kael had all his attention on Raven. He opened a milk bottle for him and said, "You should drink it slowly while sitting."
The kid was truly so obedient to him.
But then Kael noticed something. He gently rubbed Raven’s arms and said, "You seem to be cold. Let’s get you covered first."
"I had brought one for him already," I told him and looked towards the table I had placed it on. "Huh? Where has it gone?"
Just then Fluffy barked. The bastard had gotten on the ground and was sitting on it like a king.
"I’ll get another one," Lucian said, but...
"I have it. Come here," Eira said as she looked at Raven. "It’s big enough for the two of us."
Woah! She finally talked on her own, and that too nothing bitter at all.
