I couldn’t move.

Not because I didn’t want to, but because I couldn't.

I was sore.

Jeez, I was sore.

But I didn’t want Keaton to know. I let myself get carried away yesterday. I clung to him, I asked him wistful questions. I pretended he wasn’t what he was.

But he was.

I needed to remind myself of this. I couldn’t risk forgetting he was a heathen -

Who made sure you were okay.

Who made sure your first time was pleasurable.

Who cuddled with you afterwards and didn’t leave for an hour before smoking a cigarette.

Who didn’t smoke in bed.

Who came back and curled around you with an arm over your waist, molding himself to your naked body.

Speaking of which, where was he now?

I didn’t feel him behind me. Maybe that was a good thing. I needed time to think. I said some pretty stupid things last night.

Do we have to wait to do it once a week?

My face pinched as blood rushed to it. God, could I sound any more pathetic? The second I had the opportunity to show Keaton that I was cool, that this meant nothing more than a simple business transaction, I turned into a sappy fool. What, did I think he was going to suddenly fall in love with me?

Of course the fuck not.

He certainly wouldn’t start reciting Shakespeare to me. He wouldn’t make love. He wouldn’t be gentle with me. He wasn’t going to change. And he certainly wasn’t going to fall in love with me.

I decided the best thing I could do was get up and…

I didn’t know. What could I do here? After the heated conversation with Ambrose and Keaton, I didn’t trust myself to explore the Void unsupervised. I had a target on my back and I wasn’t going to be a dumbass about it.

I stood up. The floor was cold and I practically yelped, bringing my feet back up on the bed. But the strain from the clipped movements only caused my soreness to throb, and I groaned.

The house remained silent. Keaton must not be around then. I wondered where he was. My eyes went back down to my ring. So far, it had yet to burn, which had to be a good thing. He wasn’t cheating on me.

You’re really worried about cheating? You’re not supposed to care one way or the other. Let him do whatever, whomever -

I growled. I didn’t want to think about it. Even if the voice was right, even though I didn’t even consider the fact that there was a chance I would even care.

But I did.

I wasn’t sure if it was because of pride or something more, something dangerous.

I sucked in a breath.

I had to stop. I had to get out of this traitorous bed and move. Too many memories haunted me from the night before - his hands tracing my curves softly with calluses palms,
