“Wow.”
Vy chuckled.
The second we stepped out of the truck, Vy was swarmed by men and women asking questions and needing advice. As he was swept away in a sea of people who seemed to hang on his every word, I leaned against the truck and watched him in his element. His back was straight, his head held high, and his expression serious and focused. There was no doubt he took his responsibility seriously and that his ket greatly respected him.
Feeling proud, I smiled just as he glanced up and met my gaze. He arched one eyebrow in question, presumably asking why I was smiling.
“I love you,” I mouthed.
He flushed, and even from a distance, I could see gold seeping into his eyes.
“Robert,” he called. “C’mere. Let me introduce you.”
Taking in a breath of the clean evening air, I hustled over to the group with Vy at its center.
“Who’s that?” a man I’d never met asked.
“I’m Vy’s mate.”
My little bird trembled in reaction to my easy announcement, and the gold swallowed his eyes. Grasping his hand, I stood by his side, lending my quiet support and making sure he was safe and happy. That day and every one going forward.
Cardeno C.
CARDENO C.—CC to friends—is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few “awwws” into a reader’s day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno’s stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset. Cardeno feels that characters write their own stories and just hopes to find enough time to get those stories on the page.
Cardeno’s Home, Family, and Mates series have received awards from Rainbow Awards, the Goodreads M/M Romance Group, and various reviewers. But even more special to CC are heartfelt reactions from readers, like, “You bring joy and love and make it part of the every day.”
