Chapter 7

Rip “Yes, I’m sending someone to pick it up, but it’s going to be reheated. So can we get it raw?” I asked the person who answered the phone call from Benihana. I got why they wouldn’t want to give their meals out raw, especially seafood, but it was one of the best places in Chicagoland to get it. “Okay, fine, forget it. We’ll reheat it. Thank you.”

I hung up the phone and let out a sigh. All I wanted was to make it up to my mate that I never realized he’d need fish. Yeah, I’m a dumbass, but I was trying! And after what he said about special seafood being a sign that a penguin’s mate was happy, I was all over it like white on rice. At least everything was set up for dinner.

I left my office in a hurry, thinking Lys would have showered without me. Damn. I really did like how close I felt to him last night when I washed him and combed his hair. I was just eternally grateful he was giving me the chance to fix everything after spending so much time with my head up my ass. I got to his door and knocked.

“Little birdie, are you in there?”

“We’ve already had sex today, so you won’t go feral. Why don’t you go take a run with Ariel?” he said through the closed door, and it sounded like he’d been crying. Ariel? What had people been telling him? And why did he make it sound like running with Ariel was dirty?

“How did you know about that?” I growled and tried to open the door. “Let me in, Lys.”

“No,” he whispered so quietly I could barely hear him. Fuck! This was not happening! “I was so stupid to give you another chance.”

“It’s not like that, baby. Open the door, and let me explain. This is not what you think.

“I hate you, Rip,” he cried out, and there was a thump against the door. “I truly hate you.”

“Don’t say that,” I whimpered. My dreams of Lys were going up in smoke in front of my face, and I didn’t even know how it happened!

“It’s true, even if I was pathetic enough to let you bite me. But none of that matters now. I found a way for us to get out of this. Someone will be here in a few days to reverse all of this.”

“No! Don’t do this, Lys,” I shouted and kicked the door. “Let me in. I’m not running this time and giving up without a fight!”

“Why? So you can talk me out of it and use me to get your pack jobs?”

“That was your idea. What happened between my office and now? Who are you hearing all this from?” None of this was making sense.

“Nice of you to deny any of it,” he answered instead.

“Lys, open this door! That’s not what I meant. I don’t care about the jobs.”

“No!” Lys shouted, and then I heard retreating footsteps. He’d been on the verge of killing himself yesterday, and I wasn’t going to risk him doing it today.
