Chapter thirty-eight

Bliss rained through Faye’s body, soft and gentle, echoing a pleasure she’d never experienced alone. She stretched her arms overhead, dragging her legs together. She would need him to show her what he liked so she could return his affection. She knew a lot in theory and eagerly wanted to apply them to Rune.

Faye curled on her side with a lazy smile, still catching her breath. Her brow pinched. He wasn’t at the edge of the bed. Faye twisted to glance behind her at the bathroom. The door opened to a darkened room.

“Rune?” Faye called, sitting up. An empty silence rang within her as she stood, covering herself with her towel. Her euphoria faded with each step. Leaning into his bathroom, she found a darkened room staring back at her.

Faye rocked back on her heels as her face fell. He left. Hurt and shame warred within her, colliding so fiercely it eclipsed her anger. She pulled her towel tighter around her. Faye left his room needing to get away. From him. From his scent. From everything that reminded her of him.

She made her way back to the south wing, holding her tears at bay. Not caring who saw her as she walked. She’d been so happy just minutes ago. He’d left without a word, leaving her feeling used and dirty.

Soft light filtered into the room through three tall arched windows. Faye trudged past them, her begrudging steps leading her to the bathroom. Faye closed the door and let her towel drop to the floor.

She turned the shower on and sat in the spray. Hot water sluiced over the back of her neck and shoulders. Faye hugged her shins, lowering her head to her knees. Her tears fell, hot and silent, as she hugged her legs tighter.

“Bitch?”

Faye stared at a tile beside her, letting the tears fall from her unblinking eyes. She didn’t fight the misery threatening to consume her. Didn’t respond to the knock at the door. Didn’t acknowledge her sister as she stepped into the bathroom.

Sparrow opened the glass door and crouched into Faye’s vision. “Hey, are you— What happened?”

Faye met her sister’s gaze, and her tears somehow came harder.

“It’s okay, you’re okay,” Sparrow said, getting to her feet and awkwardly stepping over her. Her sister sat down and wrapped her in her arms, pulling her close. Sparrow rocked her, resting her cheek on the top of her head as she stroked her back.

“Did he hurt you?” Faye vaguely registered the viciousness in her sister’s voice.

Yes! No. She squeezed her eyes shut, clinging to Sparrow’s arm. Her voice came out a broken plea, “What’s wrong with me?”

“Nothing is wrong with you,” Sparrow said against her hair.

“He’s fated to me,” Faye sobbed. I feel it. “Why am I not enough?”

“Oh, honey,” Sparrow said, squeezing her tighter. “You are more than enough. This is that shadowy fuck’s damage, not yours.”

Sparrow held her as she cried. There was something wrong with her. Some integral piece she was lacking. Faye knew it. Rune knew it.
