After a quick shower, I gingerly walk down the stairs, smiling to myself as I go. Last night was incredible. Knight was something out of a dream and I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but the way he looked at me makes me think everything is about to change. There was a softness behind his navy eyes that I’d never seen before and it was all for me.

I smile wide as I walk into the kitchen, spotting Duke and Knight already eating at the table. Duke’s sitting straight up, taking the time to chew and swallow before the next bite. Knight’s slouched forward, shoveling food into his mouth like a freaking slob. I have to try hard to smother a laugh. It describes their different personalities so well. “Morning guys. What’s for breakfast?” I ask cheerily, forcing my feet not to literally skip into the room. I can’t help it. My heart feels so light.

“I made eggs and toast, nothing fancy,” Duke answers through a yawn, politely covering his mouth and then shooting me a soft, adoring smile. I return the look, ignoring the way my cheeks heat before sitting down and looking over my options.

“Eggs, toast, and bacon,“ I correct, inhaling the greasy, applewood scent and groaning my appreciation. It’s not a lot, but it’s somehow the perfect breakfast. Maybe since Duke made it.

My father gave up on his extravagant meals for the whole family just a couple of weeks in. Now it’s back to me fending for myself, or on occasion, Duke whipping up something simple. Rose cooks dinner a couple nights a week too, but she works weird hours as an office manager for a health clinic and doesn’t always make it home in time.

I make myself a plate and then dig in. A few bites later, something knocks against my toes. I lift my eyes and catch Duke smirking at me, tapping his fork against his plate in some complex melody. He reaches his foot out again, playfully kicking at mine without a word. Laughing, I kick back, and soon we’re in a vicious game of footsies under the table. I spread my feet wide and go for both Duke and Knight this time, almost howling with laughter at how ridiculous this is.

Knight slams his palm on the table when I touch him, and I jump from the loud noise. “Don’t touch me,” he says in a low voice, glaring at his breakfast like the food did some terrible disservice to him. I’m only now realizing he’s yet to look at me once this morning.

“Oh, for once, don’t be such a grump,” I tease, pointing my fork accusatorially at the asshole. I didn’t expect him to get a whole new personality over night, so the vicious tone doesn’t bother me one bit. It’s same old Knight, only… maybe he’s mine now.

“I said,” Knight growls, lifting his gaze to mine and shocking me with the hatred burning there. “Don’t. Touch. Me.” He’s got a fork
