Chapter Six

I looked great. But he looked better in his black jacket , black jeans and a simple white shirt I felt immediately overdressed.
" I feel really over dressed now" I said with a slight tinge creeping into my cheeks as I surveyed my family around.
"Nonsense you look beautiful Riv ." Gavriel sniffled. I tottered over to hug him in my heels even though I knew how to run in them.
"Why are you crying Gavriel it's not like you haven't seen me like this before." I said hugging him tight.
"Yeah but Every time I'm sending you on a mission not a date."
" Gavriel I'd hardly call this a date more like friendly dinner" I said even though I felt the complete opposite of my statement.
"Rowan, your crying" I said pulling him also into a hug then followed by Aelin hugging us.
"Well we raised you,  your like our daughter and now your going on a date with one of our brothers who we've worked with for the past centuries it's a big deal to us and with his reputation for females." Rowan said hugging me tighter and giving Fenrys a pointed look as I wriggled away and walked over to Fenrys and grabbed his muscled arm I melted a little inside.
"Rowan seriously it's not a big deal I'm taking her to dinner it's not like we getting married" Fenrys shouted at them across the courtyard as we walks away arms in arm where Evangeline ,who'd arrived earlier quite unexpectedly something to do with trouble in the capital , started giggling.

Soon we arrived down to the beach where there was a beautiful candle lit dinner in an alcove hidden from view where we sat down. It had been about hour when I saw Fenrys straightened and stiffen before relaxing I turned with a inquisitive eye
"Are you all right Fen?"
"I'm fine" he grabbed my hand "honestly I'm okay." He added as an after thought after seeing my raised eyebrow . Soon the hours were flying by we were talking and drinking and about to walk back before it started to get really cold and obviously I was freezing due to my stupid choice in clothing but he was all fine after Fenrys noticed and gave me his jacket which for the muscle mass I had (which really didn't show on my killer curves) he was a lot bigger than me I thought as we walked along the sea front as we strolled back to the tavern. The leering pirates stumbled towards us grabbing at my waist they were obviously drunk I thought as I spun around to hit them to find Fenrys snarling at four unconscious bodies littering the streets.
"You know I can handle the my selves I am trained by the strongest immortal fae warriors to live and Rowan too."
"I know you can handle your self Riv I didn't want blood on that magnificent dress of yours you look ravishing in it."
I must have been blushing at his actions which I definitely wasn't expecting as he grabbed my waist and put an arm over my shoulders holding me tight we walked back to the Coral Reef Inn where they were probably all sat on my bed waiting for us to get back quiz us knowing what Rowans like the nosy bastard.

Eventually we got back to the Inn without anymore incidents. Laughing softly we made our way back through the oak panelled corridors trying to avoid all of the creaking ones till we got to my room it was well past midnight and we found Aedion curled up on the rug, Lysandra in ghost leopard form sprawled near the door, Aelin curled against Rowan on my bed whilst Gavriel and Evangeline in their respective rooms asleep apparently. Fenrys just grabbed my hand and tugged me out of my room.
"What?"
" Come on just stay in my room tonight seeing as they are all in there"
" Are you sure ? " glancing over at the sleeping figures sprawled around my room.
" it's only Gavriel in there and for you I promise I'll keep my clothes on" he said smirking and two can play at that game.
"Okay then let me just get changed into some night clothes then I'll come down the hall" I said softly venturing into the room looking for my black lace night gown that only came mid thigh just about covering everything although it was rather tight around the top. I'd found it had it on with his jacket wrapped around my body to hide the view from sailors dragging gods knows who into their bedrooms in case they mistook me for one of their common whores.
