Cass chuckled. 'Once you've met Emilia, you'll understand why,' he teased. 'She may not be my mother but I've spent far too much time with her growing up for her not to rub off on me.'
He was amused, but not so much as to stop for a second what he was doing. With every word followed a kiss, a brush against whatever skin he could find as his fingers moved to unclasp, unbutton or remove. He wanted Percy naked, and the sooner the better.
'And you put up with me,' because you love me, 'because you can't get enough of me,' he whispered, his lips brushing softly against Percy's as he moved to push the robes off his body.
