Eternity Embraced by Larissa Ione Read Free Book Online Page B

this year.  But eventually.  I don't want to get old and force you to watch me die."  She nibbled on her lower lip for a moment, as though trying to come up with her next words.  "I've learned so much about the underworld in these last few months.  About vampires and the demons we call our friends."
    That still blew him away, that he could actually be friends with demons.  But Tayla and Eidolon regularly invited them to dinner and hospital events, and Kaden and Andrea had spent a lot of time at Eidolon's brother Lore's Italian house he shared with his mate, an ex-angel named Idess.
    Kaden reached out and tucked her hair behind one ear, more of an excuse to touch her than anything.  "So hanging out with these people has you jonesing to become one of them?"
    "It's made me realize that I can do a lot of good if I'm stronger and harder to kill.  It also means I can spend more time with you."  She cupped his cheek and brushed her thumb lightly over his skin.  "Well, what do you think?"
    "I think I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.  So yeah, I'll make sure we have really long lives."  He raised an eyebrow at her.  "Though you might come to regret that."
    Her laughter buzzed through him, all the way to his soul.  "I told you I'm through with being a quitter.  You're stuck with me, buddy.  For eternity."
    He wrapped his arms around her and sealed his lips to hers.  "I'm ready for eternity, Andrea," he whispered.  "Ready when you are."
