Soul Relenter (Soul Saga #3) (52 page)

“When do you want to do it?”

“How about now?”

She nudged him gently then stood up. She threw his large shirt over her body and Aleco watched her move about the room.

“I love seeing you wear that. You are every guy’s fantasy.”

She shook her head. “And only one man’s reality.”

“You got that right.”

They both grabbed the guild swords and walked down to the beach. The stones were thrown onto the sand and they glowed in the light of the sunset. Aleco stood beside Accacia, still
naked. Aleco placed his sword on the ground and stood behind Accacia, pressing his broad chest into her back. He put his hands over hers as they gripped the pommel of the sword, and together, they destroyed the elemental stones, severing them into pieces.

Accacia reached down and gathered the broken pieces and tossed them out to sea, watching them disappear into the waves of the ocean. Aleco wrapped his arms around his wife and they walked back inside the house, shutting the door behind them.

They went back into the bedroom, and Aleco lied beside her and held her in his arms. “What’s for dinner?”

“I’m your wife—not a maid.”

“What’s the difference?”

Accacia rubbed her nose against his
, loving him despite his harsh attitude and blunt words. He was a man she never expected to love, but she had fallen so deeply it was inconceivable. The first time they met he refused to let her go, holding her arm so she couldn’t run away. She was in the middle of the Continent, lost and afraid. At the time, she loathed him and was frightened for her life, but now she never felt safer than she was with him. “Stop being an asshole.”

“You know that
’s never going to happen—ever.”
