“How the hell am I supposed to do this?”

The ceiling above my bed fails to offer a decent answer or sensible advice. Even worse, the demons are back, mocking me. What right do you have to try and fix anyone? How can you help him if you can’t help yourself?

The demons have a good point. I have no answer for these questions harder than Bastien’s head. But what if? Maybe we could fix each other. Not that I deserve absolution, but what if?

The rest of the night is rough and passes slowly without much rest. Cranky from the lack of sleep and still in my pajamas, I tiptoe to the kitchen for some coffee.

It comes as no surprise that my dreams failed to produce some grand epiphany to help Bastien see beyond the dark shadow left by his father. Why would they? I’m constantly reminded that I have to be batshit for thinking I have license to try to help him at all.

Speaking of batshit, my only idea involves doing something so incredibly stupid that I’d have to be crazy to try it. Or desperate. Good thing I’m both.

Pulling a cup from the cabinet, I move on autopilot, thinking through how this might turn out. If my plan works, I could end up dead, silencing the demons for good. Or Bastien and I could end up fighting our demons together.

I glance around the kitchen at my solitary life filled with ceramic dicks and shake my head. Okay, maybe I’m a little crazy myself, not to mention lonely. Exhausting all other arguments, the only question left worth asking is, what the hell have I got to lose?

Another point to the demons is that I even considered going through with my crazy plan… and have apparently now decided in favor of it.

It probably means I’m insane, but I’m going to push Bastien, intentionally get under his skin. I’ll test his patience and drive him mad until I prove my point that there’s no way he could hit a woman, even provoked.

Assuming my theory is correct, his attraction to me won’t let him walk away easily. If I’m wrong, he’ll be gone in under three seconds. All I have to do now is figure out how to do it, how to push him without being bratty.

The last drops of coffee sputter out of the machine, and I pull the cup off to dress it how I like. Instead of working on a plan, I think about last night’s kiss while stirring my coffee. Bastien’s hold on my body was tight, possessive. The way he pinned me to the wall, his hungry mouth, his erection straining the fabric of his shorts, everything was straight out of an erotic fantasy land. He absolutely hijacked the moment, which I absolutely didn’t mind.

Even though he backed off, Bastien made one thing abundantly clear. He wants me. As much as he fears becoming his father, he can’t seem to fight the urge to be near me. At least I’ve got that point going in my favor.
