The Fourth Zaldizko

I yelped with fright at the sight of him and Small Cap looking down on us from the bed head. Dionysus"s beady eyes blinked with his warm version of a wink.

Small Cap leaped onto my shoulder. I patted his head.

_"Was Freends mating?"_ He innocently asked that stirred an embarra.s.sed blush to my cheeks.

I pulled up some of the soft brown blankets to cover my chest.

"Um, morning Small Cap." I avoided his question.

"Oh the sounds of hot pa.s.sion I was surprised to hear from my Ambry Port last night." Dionysus"s added. "I"m very happy Master gave me access to the room."

"Good morning Dionysus, Small Cap. " Leinard coolly greeted the pair like it was nothing unusual. "If you"re here means it"s nearly that time."

"Indeed." Dionysus winked again.

I frowned, wondering what time he was referring to. It was the first time I realized that he wasn"t hung over.

"Your first day at the academy and I don"t get hung over." Leinard answered to my thoughts. "Especially when I was able to work off my stupor by making love with my special one all night."

"Small Cap, you"re welcome to explore the garden whenever you like," he said to the spider to change the subject.

_"Really?!_ Small Cap excitedly asked as his eight eyes caught blurred outlines of trees and filtered daylight. He already felt the swaying breeze and coolness of a crisp morning outside from where he was.

Leinard rose to open a bit of the sliding door. I blushed at the sight of his naked body from behind, eying his firm b.u.t.tocks.

"Come on Lazy Bones, up!" Dionysus squawked sharply in my ear.

I scrambled out of bed and found myself being chased into an enormous and extravagant bathroom towards the back of the room. Surprisingly, I wasn"t feeling much pain. Just a slight dull ache around my hips. Leinard had obviously been as careful and gentle as he could. This fact made my heart race for him even more.

"I"ll help him from here. Can you prepare our clothes?" Leinard smoothly asked the canary.

"Of course!" Dionysus flew off to do his master"s bidding.

I gawked at the gleaming black tiles and shiny gold trims, The shower area was separated from the oblong in-ground bath by a wall of sparkling clear gla.s.s. Soft white fairy b.a.l.l.s hovered over our heads to cast a subdue and dreamy light over the area.

Leinard moved past me to turn on a shower. Water spouted from an enormous floral disc of a shower head, which hung from the ceiling high above his head. Steaming water rained over his body, washing away the residues of our night time activities.

He gestured for me to join him. I smiled as I stepped around the gla.s.s wall and allowed myself to be pampered as he soaped my back and gently cleaned me.

A short while later, we dried and entered the room to dress.

I frowned at the outfit Dionysus had laid out on the freshly made bed for me to wear.

Navy single b.u.t.ton waistcoat, navy slacks, white shirt and blue tie. My eyes widen at the navy-blue and white trim blazer sporting a star emblem and words Evadale Knight Academy sewn to the right breast pocket.

"I"m wearing that."

"Would you rather go to the academy in your birthday suit?" Leinard chuckled, already half dressed in his usual colonel uniform.

I sighed and dressed, deciding to think nothing off it. Within minutes, I was ready for a new day. When I saw myself in a long mirror, I didn"t mind the uniform. It made my body look sleek and smart.

Dionysus seemed proud of his accomplishments when he appraised me before we ambled up the stairs for the door. Small Cap made good on Leinard"s offer and stayed behind to explore the gardens.

"Here," Leinard said when he straightened my tie and tenderly kissed my forehead.

Why did I feel that this was what it was like to be a newly wed?

We parted ways when we entered the Gold Leaf sitting area. I met my brothers in the formal drawing room of the first floor.

I chuckled at the sight of them also wearing their academy uniforms, which made them look more manly and high hat. My chuckles eased when Death stormed up to me and firmly inspected my neck and visible areas of my skin.

"Famine." He chewed his lips, obviously holding back his anger.

"You"re an adult, so I can"t say anything about who you love. I caution you to be careful. s.e.x does not always mean love."

"Death. I know you care about me. I do love him and he loves me." I spoke my rea.s.surance.

"I thought the same way about Daniel, look what happened to me and our home. Famine. You trust with your heart too much. Sometimes you need to use your head."

I stared at Death, noticing his blood shot eyes and figured it wasn"t from waking up with a hangover.

"Thank you for being a caring big brother." I wrapped him in a hug. "I"ll be fine. If not, you"ll be the first to save me and smack sense into me right?"

Death sighed. "Since when did you become so grown up."

"Come on gits." War yawned to break our moment. "Let"s do this, and save Pesti."

Jensen and Wilfred entered the room to escort us to the academy.
