“Baby, we’re already the worst kept secret.”
“Please, Wrath,” I begged. “Just keep it between these walls.”
“You gonna tell me why you’re so fuckin’ freaked?”
“One day,” I lied.
He sighed. “Let’s go back to sleep.”
I nodded, snuggling closer, trying to crawl inside of him. He was the only one who could keep my demons at bay, even if it was temporary.

Iawoke toan empty bed, grabbing Wrath’s pillow and pulling it close as I forced myself to wake up. I honestly didn’t want to get out of bed. Here was a fantasy. Here was safe.
I stretched, finally throwing the covers off and padding to my own room where I took a quick shower and dressed.
Heading downstairs, I passed Sundance’s office on the way to the kitchen and heard him call my name, so I backtracked, peeking my head inside. He was sitting behind his desk, but he closed his laptop and stood waving me in.
“Hey, sweetheart. Come in.”
I smiled, stepping inside. “Hi.”
“Your flight okay?”
“Yeah. Thank you so much for letting me stay.”
“You’re family, honey,” he said. “You’re always welcome.”
I bit my lip. “Are you doing okay?”
“Workin’ through it.”
“I have some crystals that’ll help,” I offered. “And I could burn some sage in here to cancel out negative energy. Also, the feng shui in here is all wrong,” I continued. “You need more metal to bring focus. We could also move a few things around in order to—”

I wrinkled my nose. “That it’s off limits.”
“You already had this conversation?” Sundance mused.
“That was ages ago,” I rebutted. “Times have changed.”
Sundance smirked.
“Come with me, Moonbeam,” Wrath said.
“Are you taking me to coffee?” I challenged.
“Yes,” Wrath confirmed. “And bacon.”
“Oh,” I squeaked, turning back to Sundance. “Sorry, big man, there’s bacon. I’ll have to cleanse your office another time.”
“Okay, sweetheart.” He laughed. “See ya later.”
Wrath waited for me to step out of the office before closing the door and giving me a smack on mybutt.
“Hey!”
