Such an affectionate smile graced Siroos's lips at his mate's innocent question.
"Of course! They would love to meet you. Tonight, after the celebration, you can spend time with them. As much as you want," Siroos happily answered; the smile made his eyes crinkle at the sides, and the hardened contours of his face smoothened out.
How handsome he looked when he smiled so affectionately at her.
Cassandra returned that smile, "I am looking forward to it."
Siroos placed one arm under her knees and the other behind her back, picking her up. Cassandra hooked her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his hard chest. He safely carried her to the wash area and gently placed her in the bathtub, containing cold water.
"Let's get you ready for the celebration," Siroos winked with a deliberate grin, getting inside the bathtub with her. Cassandra could only shake her head, knowing what he meant.
