Finite: A Dark Paranormal Romance (The Sephlem Trials Book 4)
Page 43
Slowly nodding his head, June realizes, “They swore their firstborn? Didn’t they?”
My smile’s a sour pinch of bitterness, because while I dislike Dad would make such a promise, without them, I wouldn’t exist, anyway. And though there’s this weight hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any second, my parents will battle the gods of heaven and hell to protect me. The effort they put into being with each other is nothing compared to the determination of my protection.
Nodding, I add, “So, if you want to date me, we’re in for a whirlwind of feats and ventures.”
June cuffs my cheek. He says, “Well, Neliah, I mean, I’m nowhere near as strong as your dad, you’re kind of heavy. And, I’m not nearly as fearless as your mother. Your dad scares the crap out of me. But, if it’s enough, I’m just a boy who likes a girl. And um, I don’t want to see anything happen to you.”
I fight the girly smile that’s making me blush. “That’s enough.” I take his hand. I’ve gotten used to the electric shock that zaps me when we touch. “So . . . let’s go tell them we’re dating.”
June’s white eyes darken with anxiety. His cheeks turn bright red. “Oh god. Did you already tell them I was a Nemenite?”
“Nope,” I sing. I thought about it, but dropping the bomb on Dad when he’s least expecting it works much better for me. “Since my mom’s friend Laine, Dad is much more accepting of Nemenites than the old days.”
“That doesn’t make me any less nervous.” We open the back door and step out into the yard. I call, “Mom? Dad?”
