"I created a Pinterest board," Nate felt comfortable admitting after he was sure Eva's spirits had been lifted. His chest rose and fell when he breathed a heavy sigh of relief with Zap nestled against him. His lengthy arms were wrapped around her fluffy robe-adorned body, which was Nate's latest clue to how deep Eva's depression had run. She was always stunning, but even her evening wear was generally beyond impressive. The Queen of Asgard was rarely anything but fierce. Inside, Nathaniel was ecstatic he'd been able to come to her rescue, at least emotionally. His love for Eva truly knew no bounds.
"My queen, you may test my limits all you want," Nate dared after her thanks with a suspicious smirk on his lips. "I've yet to find a task I won't complete for you," the rancher from Iowa turned God of Darkness and King of Helheim told his love. Nate pulled away from Eva only to give her an exaggerated bow which brought his head to the same level as her cloth belt. His arms, which had been fully extended outward, returned and snatched Zap by that belt. Caltrops pulled her close then kissed her slowly and softly. "We can," he added distractedly. "Sleep here every night..." he tempted without much subterfuge.
"The entire top drawer of the dresser is filled with chocolate melting wafers," Nate shared quite seriously. "Three flavors," he teased. Was he lying? She'd have to stay and find out.
