The dinner last night might have been a disaster, but despite what the guys thought, it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

Not even close.

With Randall, it could’ve been so much worse, but I didn’t tell them that. All that would do is raise questions I don’t want to answer. I’m more than happy to let them be pissed off about the way everything went down and our apparent lack of intel.

Zander had found me in the music room, and while I was grateful, I knew Randall only wanted to put his pieces in place last night. I’ve played this game of cat and mouse with him for far too long not to recognize how he works.

After Randall was gone, Zander all but hauled me back through the house and down to the car before he went back in to grab the guys. I doubt that's all he did, though. If it was, he could’ve just called them, but going back in made me think it had something to do with Jake.

I let my mind wander to Jake for a moment. He was confusing. I didn’t really trust him. How could I? He hadn’t exactly been warm and welcoming when I first met him. If anything, he was a bit of a creep. Not to mention his sister clearly has issues with me, and, of course, his father is Randall. What the hell about any of that would make him trustworthy?

Yet, for some reason, last night I had, in fact, trusted him. He’d directed me to Randall's office, and I hadn’t even questioned him. He could’ve very well led me into a trap.

But he hadn’t, and I wasn’t sure why.

When I had followed him out of the dining room, my thoughts had been on Spencer being alone with Randall, but I’d originally planned to ditch Jake to search the manor. Somehow I’d not only stayed with him but enjoyed the time in the music room, especially when he was playing.

Shit.

I push all thoughts of Jake away with a sigh of frustration.

I’m not sure what time it is, but I can feel the sun shining down on the bed through the crack in the curtains, and I know I need to get up.

Kratos set the meeting for late enough that I wasn’t worried about that yet. But laying in bed allowed my mind all the time and space to wander in every which way, and I was starting to annoy myself.

“What could you possibly be frustrated with so early in the morning, Killer? You haven’t even opened your eyes yet.”

Kratos's voice was deep and rough from lack of use first thing in the morning. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t one of the hottest things I’ve ever heard, which was saying something because his usual deep tone was already pretty swoon-worthy. The sound rumbles through his chest, under my ear, and laying on his chest only makes it deeper. I can’t help the chuckle that escapes me. He’s right. I hadn’t opened my eyes yet, though.
