THE SENTINEL

The Love Cave’s first floor includes a lobby with a front desk, a tiny side office, a lounge, a small meeting room, and a dining area connected to a buffet just outside a narrow kitchen. The hotel offers twelve rooms on the two upper floors. The space is manageable with a small staff. For now, it’ll be our home base.

Tonight, we eat in the dining area. Rather than shove the small tables together, we choose to remain in separate groups. I want real privacy with Violet, but that won’t be an option until later. Still, with Avery now reattached to Savannah, I should enjoy more alone time with my woman in the evenings.

I can’t tell Violet’s mood, which leaves me leery. Her personas come with clearly established traits. Tonight, she seems a little like a ghost. But not in the way she was back in Shasta. When I engage with her, she lights up. Once she isn’t my focus, her mind falls back into the shadows.

“What should we do tonight?” I ask while Io and Pollux chat nearby in their toddler speak.

“Can we look at pictures of what the house will be like when it’s done?” she asks, sounding not much older than my niece and nephew.

“Of course.”

“And can we watch ‘Best in Show’?”

“Sure.”

“And can we do that thing I wanted to do earlier?” she asks, holding my gaze. “I think you can relax when it’s nighttime, and the world is quieter.”

I share her smile, imagining us breaking in our new sheets. Violet loves sex, even if she hasn’t figured out how to get herself off yet. She just wants to wrap her naked body against mine and let me run the show.

I’m fully on board with her learning how to take what she wants. I just can’t have her doing shit for my sake only. Transforming Violet into my doormat would be easy. At times, I’m even tempted to manipulate her to follow my lead and obey. I like getting my way, of course, but I always fight the urge. If she said no to Pema or the firehouse, I’d have sulked, sure. But I wouldn’t make her submit, not after O’Meara.

As we finish up dinner, the hotel’s front buzzer echoes. I reach for my weapon and move toward the front doors while also pulling up security footage. Colton and Heidi stand on the other side—him still in his work clothes while she’s dressed for cocktails.

I open the front doors, wave them in, and lock everything down again.

“Paranoid?” Colton asks.

“No, because I’m prepared.”

“Can we talk?”

“Should I involve myself?” Savannah asks without looking in our direction.

“What can you do?” Avery mutters.

While they hiss at each other like pissed cats, I gesture for Colton and Heidi to walk down the hallway to the meeting room. Before I follow, I let my gaze hold Violet’s. I consider asking her to pull her chair to the table where Avery and the others eat. I don’t signal her, though. Violet isn’t a child. She knows how to eat alone or move her chair.
