CHAPTER NINE

DIABLO

“Diablo!” Skylar shouts later that day and my heart is filled with glee. Who knew he’d put on his sandy socks so soon? Thoughts and prayers, Skylar. Thoughts and prayers. It might not have been a scorpion but this will do just fine.

I pretend not to hear him, my eyes narrowing as I focus on my smudged Warhammer Rubric Marine. I really need to get back to Lex and his majestic skills because what I am doing is an abomination. People would laugh at me if they saw this.

“I know you can hear me, you little shit,” he bellows, and I bite back a smirk. Must not look guilty. I’m as innocent as an angel.

A shadow falls over me and I peek up at Skylar, who is frowning at me.

“Sand. In my socks? What are you…thirteen?”

My lip trembles and my stomach aches from trying to hold the laugh at bay.

“Whatever do you mean? You sound insane.”

“You put sand in my socks.”

“I did not. That must have been the geckos.”

“There aren’t geckos out here. Only lizards.”

“The lizards then,” I say and then focus my gaze back on the first-born Space Marine in front of me. “That’s the culprit.”

“Do you know how hard sand is to get out of clothes? And the fact that you went outside to get it. Putting your life in danger…you could have been seen!”

“Goes to show how shitty of a bodyguard you are. Can’t even keep track of me.”

Skylar huffs, proverbial steam coming out of his nose and ears. “You’re not to go outside. Those are the rules.”

“There’s nothing around. Not even so much as a White Walker.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“There’s nothing here but sand! Unless I get blown away in a dust storm, I’m perfectly safe!”

My lips tick up and so do his before they slam back down into a frown. “You’re a disobedient brat. Do I need to show you how to be respectful…again? It’s growing quite old, Diablo. Really.”

I shift in my seat, my ass still sore from earlier. To be honest, I don’t know if it could handle another spanking. Well, maybe it could. Maybe it would elevate things to new levels for me. Maybe I would transcend. Find nirvana.

Hmm, doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me. Maybe we should try it.

“I’m perfectly respectable. You just have very high standards. No one can live up to them.”

He holds his socks up and waggles them around. “No. No one can keep up with you! Your mind is messed up.”

“Facts. Don’t bore me with them.”

Skylar shakes his head with a laugh and drops the socks to his side before walking away, leaving me to watch his ass and thighs flex as he moves. It’s very distracting. I hate that my eyes are glued to his glutes whenever they make an appearance. This has to be a mental illness of some sort, an obsession.

Surely I can find a psychiatrist to prescribe something for me. There have to be drugs that stop the eye-fucking of hulking lumps of man meat.
