Chapter 904 It’s Home Again Part 2

"What are you doing?" Kamila asked. She was used to Lith giving her butterflies in the stomach, but the blue will-o’-the-wisps in the living room were new. Also, she had been expecting a warm reunion, not a sweaty one.

At least not until they moved to the bedroom.

"I’m making sure that the perfection of your health matches that of your heart." He avoided using the word ’body’ for several reasons.

His paranoia made him fear that Kamila would suspect he was shapeshifting her. Also, Kamila was already self-conscious about her appearance because of Lith’s family good looks. He wanted to avoid adding oil to the fire.

"I was going to take a quick shower while you’d set up the table, but now it might take a while. Care to join me?" She asked.

"Usually I would jump at the opportunity, but we’re both starving." Among its many effects, Invigoration always made it subjects work quite an appetite.

"You know that if I get in there with you, we’ll come out only when the food is cold, the beer is warm, and the moon is high." He replied.

"It doesn’t sound like a bad plan to me." She reached for his lips while her hands caressed his hair. It was a slow, sensual kiss that awakened the hunger they had for each other.

Lith tried to keep his cool, but Kamila’s hands moved down his neck, back, and finally reached his ass. His willpower turned paper thin at that point but it held.

"Damn, woman. Kiss me again like that and you’re not getting any sleep tonight." He said.

"Make me." She panted in his ear, making what was left of his rationality crumble.

A few hours later, after Lith had fixed their dinner at the best of his abilities, they dined together. The first thing Kamila did after getting out of the bedroom was to retrieve her army suitcase and take the Camellia out.

She then recharged the magical flower with her imprint and put it inside a small vase they used as centrepiece.

"Why do you bring it at work? Show off much?" Lith teased her.

"No, silly." She giggled. "Between the fact that I often slept at the Ernas Mansion, the night shifts, and the emergencies, it’s been a long time since I knew where I would spend the night twice in a row.

"I always keep your gift with me because I want to make sure it never withers. Also, I consider it my good luck charm."

Her words made him happy and brought a smile to Lith’s face, thinking back at how awkward had it been the moment when he had gifted the Camellia to her.

It took him a while to tell her all that had happened during his absence. Things like his meeting with Xedros or the truth about his battle against Dawn couldn’t be shared during a call, no matter how secure the amulet was supposed to be.

"So that’s what you were doing instead of submitting your report." She grunted. "First Faluel and now a Wyvern. I guess you’ve a thing for cold blooded lizards if you prefer their company to mine. Maybe it’s because you’re a Wyrmling yourself."

"Oh, please. Xedros is a male and an ass. You’ve no reason to get jealous. As for Faluel..."

"I’m just messing with you." She giggled, cutting him short. "Gods, you fall for it every single time. Guilty conscience much?"
