Grayson

I turn over under the sheets, the sluggish wave of sleep trying to pull me back under. Something soft and warm presses against my bare chest.

Cin.

I can't help but smile as I remember last night. I reach over to wrap an arm around Cin and breath in her scent. She snores softly. I hug her gently as I draw closer, my eyes growing drowsy.

Something buzzes loudly, the rattle of metal vibrating against a hard surface. Shit, my phone.

I let go of Cin and roll over quickly to reach for my phone on the nightstand to the side. The light from the bathroom's left on, but it still takes me a second to find my phone. I'm half asleep, too, or I wouldn't have answered the call without checking who was calling first.

"Hello?" I say into the phone. I immediately regret answering when I hear the voice.

"Grayson!" Dad screams.

I pull the phone away from my ear and lower the volume. I'm wide awake now. I glance back at Cin, but she's still snoring. I get off the bed and walk to the corner of the room. Dad's yelling, but I can barely understand what he's going on about.

I already have a good idea of what this is about. This has to be about that fucker, Damian.

"He published the testimonies?" I ask when Dad pauses with his ranting to take a breath.

"What do you think, you stupid, good-for-nothing piece of shit—"

"You're the one that couldn't keep Writing on the Wall in check," I hiss. "You had months to cut them off when they were getting started. This is on you as much as anything I did."

I don't even mention that his fucking projects are the reason for this shit in the first place. If he had kept his hands clean, none of this would have happened. Dad explodes with another flurry of curses and useless shit. Cin's stirring now, though, so I just hang up and turn off the phone's ringer.

The sheets fall away from Cin as she sits up, revealing her topless body.

"Is something wrong?" Cin asks.

I stare at the curves of Cin's breasts, then glance back up into Cin's sleepy eyes. "No, everything looks fine from where I am."

Cin glances down at herself, then shakes her head as she pulls the sheet higher to cover herself. "You know that's not what I meant," she says, but she's smiling slightly. "Were you on the phone? I thought I heard you talking—"

"It's fine. Nothing to worry about."

Cin frowns. "So, there is something."

Shit. She's not as sleepy as she looks. She's going to find out eventually what happened, and when she does, she'll probably end up feeling guilty about it, blaming herself somehow.

"Please, Cin. Just enjoy what we have right now." I move over to her and lean over for kiss. She lifts her head to meet my mouth but breaks off the kiss quickly.

"I should get going," Cin says as she climbs out of the bed and begins getting dressed. Her elf costume is on the floor, but she was smart enough to bring a spare shirt and pair of jeans.
