Several drinks later and more discussion about looking for bonesâbut none about boxes and brothersâwe take the short walk along the dirty city street back to base. The cobbled street opens out to where the older building sits at the top of a hill, and as we approach the gates I stare at the place, shrouded in darkness.
"Secret isnât a word Iâd associate with this huge-ass building behind shiny gates," I remark.
Cillian walks beside me. "What happens inside, and the people connected, is secret. Doesnât matter if the place can be seen."
"True," I reply. "A lot happens behind closed doors, I guess."
"Precisely."
"Oh, speaking of which..." I turn and start to walk backwards, watching them. "Dex. Morgan. Did Cillian explain youâre all my lovers now?"
"What?" Dex looks at Cillian. "Explain."
"I said that to Bastian to make him back off Syv."
"Weird choice of words," says Morgan with a short laugh. "Wishful thinking. Cillian?"
He digs his hands in his pockets. "Spur of the moment. Sorry, were you keeping yourself for someone special?" Cillian asks and fights a smile.
Morgan pulls a face at Cillian as he passes him.
I stay walking backwards. "Weâve known each other, what? Two days? I think I need to know you better before I start a harem."
"Harem," Morgan calls over his shoulder. "Youâre weird. Both of you."
"Thatâs a no, then?" I call back and laugh to myself.
Dex catches up and Iâm flanked by him and Cillian as we head back to the Institute. He makes no comment on the harem joke. I get a sense that Dex isnât the sharing type, but who knows? I side-glance him. Dex isnât paying attention to me, instead scrutinising every face that passes by. Two guys chatting are too distracted to see us, and they almost walk into our group. Immediately, he curls a hand around my waist and guides me to one side.
Iâm too surprised to react with a protest. Our intense exchange in the library was true. This strange guy wants to protect me.
