Goth night sounded like just what he needed. All those angsty emotions he’d outgrown during his twenties were back swirling around inside. Kit pulled on his black jeans and old black biker boots, black tee and his favorite leather jacket. He put on kohl eyeliner that he’d picked up earlier and realized when he looked in the mirror that he missed this part of his life. Back before tragedy hit his family hard, leaving him with nothing but emptiness.

Aunt Mal tried, but his father and brother and he had been a tight threesome before Declan’s death. She couldn’t fill the gap that his drunk father and dead brother had left.

Pushing all of that back into the past, he locked his door and walked down to Rory’s house. He was going to pretend he was just Kit and she was just Rory. She was the woman he’d made love to that very afternoon and he hoped to do it again soon. He wanted more with her and that had nothing to do with her being a Gilbert.

He knocked on her door, and when she opened it, his heartbeat pounded in his ears. She had on dark eyeliner, too.

She flushed. “Maybe later if you play your cards right.”

“Oh, I intend to,” he assured her. He helped her get her black leather jacket on and then noticed she reached for her cane.

“Everything okay?” he asked. She hadn’t used it earlier.

“Yeah, my thighs got a bit of a workout earlier and feel weak,” she said. “Does it mess with my look?”

“Did I hurt you when we had sex?” he asked hoarsely. Dammit, he should have been more careful with her.

“No. I just don’t use my legs that way usually,” she said with a tinkling laugh. “We can practice and get them stronger. That’s what my physical therapist always says when I try something new.”

“I don’t mind practicing. So where are we going?” he asked to distract himself of the images in his head of her naked underneath him.

“The speakeasy.”

“I don’t know what that is,” he admitted.
