Chapter Seven

Common sense stated that I should probably go to Seethe to try to work off the Night. Last time I’d checked, I didn’t have laser lights, strobes or glow sticks in my bedroom. But the Seer in me railed against that argument, insisting that any vision was just of a possible future, the most likely future, but not necessarily an assured one. I could make my own future. End the reign of the Night here and now, before I might somehow be lured into finally ruining everything with Luke once and for all. There would be no foreplay, no making out and gentle touching. Just fucking and orgasms, a Night-draining workout that would be free of emotion and completely impervious to efforts for romantic validation. Yes, I needed a good fuck, like Luke had said, which was why a few minutes later I found myself escorting a lovesick-puppy-eyed neighbor I found in the lobby into my apartment.

I fought so hard to keep it clinical, emotionless. He kept trying to interact with me, talk to me, touch me, make it all real, and I’d had to shut him down every time because it wasn’t something I could handle. It had taken every mental block I possessed just to finish, and after ten minutes of fighting my own conscience tooth and nail, I was rewarded with a climax so unfulfilling I was almost able to convince myself that any sexual aura I had must’ve been eliminated.

I practically expected a professional handshake as I opened the door to lead him out into the hallway. I couldn’t help but think it was better that way, that that made it hurt a little less when I realized just how deep I was digging the hole—Of course, the only thing that really made it better was the hope that if I dug far enough I’d come out on the other, Luke-inhabited side. But somehow, the thought of fucking nameless guys to keep the man I loved in a platonic role in my life… It was starting to ache in the most sensible way anything in my life had for the past week.

The door swung closed behind him, and I breathed out a sigh of what I imagined had to be relief. I was already exhausted, and that was anything but encouraging. I reached for my threads, trying to feel for the sickly heat of the Night, to see how much was left, to see how many more soul-draining sessions I was going to have to suffer through before this all could just finally end—

“I thought he’d never leave!”

Arms clasped down tight around my chest, hugging me tight. I squirmed away, twisting and shoving against the person until they finally backed up enough for me to get a look at them.

“What the fuck?”

Jake stared back at me, eyes hungry with something that made my stomach churn painfully. He reached forward to grab me again, and my threads twisted sharply as magic I barely managed to focus
