Cassius

HER BODY WAS SPREAD across mine, chilling me to the bone, though I would never admit it out loud lest she move. And the last thing I wanted was for her to move her leg even a fraction to the left or right.

There.

Nearly on top of me, that’s where I needed her, where I wanted her. Dark Ones didn’t typically sleep, so I knew she must be simply relaxing while she let me sleep.

Though it didn’t explain the way she was laying across me.

“Safe,” she muttered. “It’s ridiculous right? That I feel safer in your arms than any other, yet you wouldn’t stand a chance against a man with a gun, let alone a Demon.” Stephanie raised her head, her eyes swirling with specks of white as she reached for my hand.

I held it, my warmth and her ice meeting against our palms.

“How long did I sleep?” I changed the subject.

“Twelve hours,” she whispered. “I got tired of waiting for you so I went downstairs to watch movies with Genesis since she hasn’t been feeling very well…” She frowned. “If… if I see a future of someone, do I tell them?”

“Whose future are we talking about?”

Stephanie swallowed, her eyes darting away from mine. “Genesis. Her labor won’t be easy, Cassius.”

“For centuries, women have survived it all the same. Have a little faith.”

Her head whipped back. “Faith?”

“Yes.” I licked my lips. “Belief in something that has not yet come to pass, belief that regardless of the circumstances, we can still expect the best possible outcome in life.”

“Is that the human side speaking? The one who never loses hope?”

I smiled as a comforting warmth spread through my chest. “Yes, I think it is.”

“I like it.”

“Sometimes… hope is all we have.” I frowned as I said it. “And even if we had knowledge of the future, would we truly do anything differently? I should like to think so, but knowing humanity as I do, they would still squander each and every moment, unable to fully grasp the realization that each second that ticks by is another gift that they have been given, a gift given only because of great sacrifice by not only their ancestors, but ours.”

“Twelve hours of sleep turned you into a philosopher, I think,” Stephanie mused, brushing my dark hair away with the back of her hand. Her ice cold fingertips cooled my forehead. I kept them there and closed my eyes as her hand shook.

“Your dream…” she started, while I tried to keep my breathing even. “Did you mean it?”

“Which part?”

Her eyes searched mine. “If you were allowed to love me—would you?”

I opened my mouth just as the door burst open. Ethan made his way inside took in our comfortable state and shook his head.

“I don’t have time to address whatever the hell this is.” He pointed to us, “Because it seems like our little pet in the dungeon won’t stop screeching until he sees you.” Ethan sighed, his eyes flashing with irritation. “He’s chained, he can’t hurt you in your current state, it’s probably best to see what you can get out of him.
