“What are you doing tonight?” Sam asked as we left the restaurant after the best meal I’d ever tasted. He hadn’t bothered to rebutton his shirt, and I still hadn’t gotten used to the sight of all his skin and muscles on display.

“Going home. I have some studying I could be doing, but I’ll probably end up watching a movie instead.”

“Alone?”

I shrugged. Considering the only family member I had who shared my taste in movies was Nacio, who no longer lived in the house, there was a good chance it would be just me.

Sam paused outside the elevators without making a move to push the call button. “I want to show you something.”

“Show me what?”

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes.” It was probably stupid to trust him when I knew for a fact that he was keeping secrets from me, but I did. I trusted him with my life, my secrets, and my pain.

Sam held out a hand to me, just like he had more than eight years ago. And just like then, I placed my hand in his and let him lead me down hallways until we were pushing through the door to the stairwell.

“Please tell me we’re not climbing these to the roof again.”

He gave me an amused chuckle. “Don’t worry. We’re going down and it’s only one flight.”

I recognized the dark hallway, lit only enough to see a few feet in front of my face, instantly. In all the time I’d been coming to Youngblood, I’d never found a way to the labyrinth of hallways where I’d run into Sam. In fact, now that I thought about it, I’d never seen signs for the stairwell either. There was a set of emergency stairs right near the elevators, but those were different stairs. I was sure because they had windows on every landing, unlike these.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“The back rooms.”

I blinked at him. “As in the back rooms that you thought I was trying to get to when I first ran into you?”

Amusement laced Sam’s voice when he answered. “One of them.”

“What exactly are the back rooms?” I’d heard rumors over the years, mostly centering around various illegal activities. But Sam wouldn’t take me to a drug bar or a brothel, right?

“My sanctuary.”

Well, that totally cleared things up.

I laced my fingers with Sam’s, and to my surprise, he didn’t comment. We rounded a corner where a bouncer blocked our path to a door. He didn’t ask for our IDs or any other passes. He did shoot me a curious glance, but he didn’t say anything as he nodded to Sam and opened the door for us.

Beyond the door was another hallway. Doors were open along either side, offering glimpses of the rooms beyond. Sam pulled me into the first room on the right. It was a large space with pool tables taking up most of it. Lamps with green shades hung over the pool tables, creating little pockets of light that were easily swallowed up by the dark wooden walls.
