CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Raini shoved Khloë’s feet off her lap with such force the imp almost slipped off the sofa they were sharing. “For the eighth and final time—”

“Ninth,” Harper chipped in.

“—I’m not massaging your feet.”

Khloë pouted. “You did it for Devon yesterday.”

“She’s pregnant,” said Raini. “When you’re knocked up, I’ll … well, I’ll light a candle for your poor unborn child.”

“I would make a wonderful mother,” declared Khloë.

Everyone simply stared at her.

The imp raised her shoulders. “What?”

Devon cleared her throat. “So, Piper, how does it feel to be anchored?” she asked, relaxing into the armchair that was a carbon copy of the one on which Piper herself sat.

Aside from the fact that being bonded to Levi this way had a sting in its tail … “I feel stronger. Steadier. And it’s a relief to know that although my demon can still reach for supremacy sometimes, it can never have full power over me.” Piper would always remain the dominant of the two. “I still can’t quite get used to how my mind reaches for Levi’s all the time, though.”

“It’ll become metaphorical white noise eventually,” said Harper, sitting on the rug near the toys her son had abandoned when he raced out of the room to go exploring the apartment with Keenan close behind him. “Have you told your family yet?”

“My mom and stepfather know,” said Piper. “They’re pleased for me. They’re actually planning to drop off some of my stuff so I can stay here until the danger passes. Which reminds me that I’ll have to pick a room to sleep in.”

Raini’s brow furrowed. “Pick a room?”

“Yeah.” Noticing the women exchange odd looks, Piper frowned. “What?”

Harper scratched her cheek. “I figured you’d be sharing Levi’s room, that’s all.”

Ah, so they were aware that he and Piper did the dirty. Bouncing her gaze from female to female, Piper said, “I didn’t think you knew.”

Khloë lifted one shoulder. “We kind of guessed.”

“You never mentioned it,” said Piper.

“We didn’t think there was any point,” Devon told her. “You and Levi were never couple-y, so it was clear that you were intent on keeping the fling on the down-low.”

Piper fiddled with her fingers. “It wasn’t a fling. We just had sex occasionally. We’re not anymore, though. We agreed beforehand that we’d stop when we bonded.”

“Ah.” Raini bit her lip. “I gotta admit, what with how intense he is around you, I wouldn’t have thought he’d be good with that. Are you?”

“It’s better this way.” Piper looked from Harper to Raini. “I know you two mated with your anchors, and I know it’s not really unusual. But it won’t work that way for me and Levi. You can’t begin a relationship with someone who isn’t open to having one. He’s not.”

Harper inclined her head. “He does tend to keep his relationships the epitome of casual.” She twisted her mouth. “I don’t think he’ll find it easy to stick to this agreement you two made. I’ve seen the way he looks at you. It totally gives me tingles.
