Gideon [The Marujan Brothers Series] Book Two (19 page)

Malakai shrugged. “Hey, we all wanted
the same thing. No big deal. I’ll see you around.” And he turned to
walk off.

“
You’re leaving?” Esyth
murmured.

Malakai smiled and gave her a wink.
“I’ve got my own shit to hold down.”

“So I’ll see you around then, Baamel?”
Gideon asked.

“
I still don’t like you,
Maruj. We’re enemies, don’t forget that.” He then grinned and wiped
a palm over his beard. “But you’re alright.”

Gideon watched as Malakai Baamel
strutted off down the hall and disappeared from their view. He then
averted his gaze to the woman standing before him. Finally! He
could take her home now and—

“
GIDEON!” It was
Hadaen.

“Shit, here we go again!” he whined,
clutching Esyth tighter to him. When would he get a break? In a
minute, he saw his brother rushing towards him with Amelia at his
side.

“
We know what happened,”
Hadaen said, breathlessly. “I felt it.” He then looked at Esyth and
smiled. “You alright?”

“I’m okay,” she replied, eyeing Amelia
sheepishly Then in a second both women were embracing each other,
crying and sobbing and doing all that women did at a time like
this.

Hadaen chuckled and pulled his brother
aside. “You did this Gideon! You made this happen for us. The
Marujan kingdom owes it to you.”

Gideon grinned. “Well…does that mean I
was right to not listen to you?”

“No!” Hadaen snapped. “And don’t do it
again. You could have been killed. Now there’s something else that
we have to deal with.”

Frowning, Gideon stared at his
brother, waiting. “What? What is it? Will it take long ‘cause I
need to—”

“
Faolan is
engaged.”

Gideon stopped talking and
laughed. “You must be joking.
Naaa.
You
are
joking! To who?”

“I’m serious,” Hadaen said, reaching
into his coat pocket and shoving a piece of paper into Gideon’s
hand. “I got this yesterday.”

Gideon snatched the paper and read
through the handwriting swiftly. His mouth was wide open and his
eyes popping when he was finished. He then looked up at Hadaen and
whispered, “And we’re invited.”

Hadaen nodded and folded his arms over
his chest. Gideon sighed and rubbed his eyes. Boy was he tired! He
needed to get Esyth home immediately and he was desperately in need
of a bath, some good solid food….and definitely some
sex.

“
The adventure never ends,
does it?” Haden muttered.

Shoving back the paper, Gideon
sighed.

“Yeah, well you started it… Over seven
fucking centuries ago.”

Stay tuned and look out for Faolan’s story, the last
installment of the trilogy…coming in 2015!!
