I throw myself back into my own mind as I quickly cut all ties with him. As I come to back in Dante’s bedroom, I’m shocked to find my subconscious has allowed my body to react to Evi in my absence.
I’d honestly almost forgotten what it felt like to want a woman in that way.
I glance down at her as she continues to sleep on top of me. I feel guilty for even contemplating waking her, but I know I’ll need to eventually.
I’ll give the girl a few more hours before waking her. At least judging by what Seven’s up to, he doesn’t expect to return before morning.
But what was he doing in there?
He hasn’t used the darkroom in ages, what would make him start developing pictures again?
Is that why Dante seemed so bothered about the possibility that Evi got in that room?
What do they know that I don’t?
These questions only serve to lessen my physical desire for Evi, which is exactly what Idon’twant right now.
I grit my teeth together as I force these thoughts and questions from my mind.
I can worry about that later. Right now, I need to focus on my current task … Evi.
I can’t let there be any doubt in Seven or Dante’s mind about me, and the easiest way to do that is give themexactlywhat they least expect from me.
Dropping down into myself, I gradually let my subconscious take control again as I wait for morning to come.
