“Tell me about last night.”

Atlas lifts his eyes to mine, backward cap pulled over his head as he uncaps his water bottle while we stand on the back deck. Lucifer’s words are ringing in my head, and so is the text from this fucker to my girl the other night.

I hold Rain close, staring down at his wide eyes, his fingers reaching for my face. Lucifer is showering and I’m not sure where Sid is. All I know is I’m glad she isn’t out here. After her bullshit about Ella in Luce’s office a few minutes ago, I’m not feeling too brotherly toward her right now.

We passed my girl on the stairs and I know I should have stayed and talked to her, but it feels like I’ll have to discuss a whole lot of shit I’m not ready to yet. What is it that’s keeping me from reaching out to her?

All the shit Lucifer said to me last night? About not looking in my own backyard? It’s the thing I’m good at, handling everyone else’s problems while I don’t even glance at my own. Except I’m not so great at it, am I? It’s why I have all these fucking scars on my back.

“There’s nothing to tell.” Atlas swallows his water, crinkling the plastic of the bottle as he stares out into Lucifer’s renovated backyard.

“You trying to fuck her?” My heart races in my chest as I ask the question and Rain’s fingers scratch at my chin.

Atlas snorts. “You expect me to say yes? So, what? You can carve me into pieces and feed me to Ella in her cookies?”

I don’t answer that question as he avoids my gaze. Instead, I cradle Rain close and drop my voice to a low whisper, my breath brushing across my nephew’s fuzzy head of hair.

“If you lay a hand on her, I’m not going after you.”

The plastic bottle in his hands crinkles, but he doesn’t look at me.

I stroke the side of Rain’s cheek, staring at Atlas’s. “I’ll come for your mom. I’ll fuck with her head like you’re trying to fuck with Ella’s, because I know your dad treats her like shit. But I’ll be nice to her. I’ll be her goddamn best friend.” I smile as he closes his eyes tight, his jaw flexed. “I’ll pay Natalie a visit too. I’ll get them in the same bed, fuck them back-to-back.” I dip my chin and kiss Rain’s head, covering one of his ears with my hand, pressing the other to my chest so he can’t hear me. “Then I’ll slit both of their throats and watch them bleed out all over each other. I’ll record it, so you can see them take their last breaths, covered in my fucking cum.”

Atlas doesn’t respond. I don’t need him to. I just need him to hear me. For a second, I think about asking him if he saw what went down that last night we were both in the dark on Corpus Ave together, but with the threat between us, I decide I don’t want to know.
