KEEPING HER SAFE

This scene is from Chapter 19 of Saven Deception, and it’s the morning after the scene in the auditorium with Dante and the cave scene where Logan and Sadie shared their first kiss.

“I’d like an explanation for your behavior yesterday. There better be a good reason for drawing attention to yourselves in such a manner,” our father says in that carefully controlled voice of his. Calm on the outside, he fixes Dante and me with a stern look, and I know he’s itching to yell at us. He’s only holding back because Neve’s here. And she’s only here because she also has a vested interest in protecting Sadie.

I’ve thought of nothing else since I spoke briefly with my father last night. He was rushing to a meeting, so there wasn’t time to fully update him, only to ask that he smooth things over with the powers that be to ensure there are no consequences for the three of us. At this juncture, I don’t feel like there’s much choice but to reveal who Sadie is to me. Otherwise, father may jump to the wrong conclusion. He hasn’t stopped pestering me about choosing a preferred earthen, and it’s the sole reason why I’m persisting with the endless merry-go-round of dates. Purely to keep him off the scent for the time being until I figure out a way of safely conveying the news that Sadie is my Eterno. That will nip the conscience transfer issue in the bud. But it doesn’t solve the Dante dilemma.

Once he discovers who and what she really is to me, he will use her to discredit me. Or worse still, up the ante on his stalking campaign. I can’t subject Sadie to that, so until I figure out how to diffuse the ticking bomb that is my brother, I need to keep her at arm’s length. A challenge that seems insurmountable after yesterday.

My lips twitch as the memory of our hot make-out session resurrects in my mind. Hella, she felt so good in my arms. Like we truly belonged together. I touch my mouth, recalling the taste of her as her lips moved against mine. Closing my eyes, I can almost smell her beside me. Like sunshine and rainbows. Pure golden and imbued with such inherent goodness and happiness. The way Sadie makes me feel is indescribable, and she’s changing me, in ways I never could have imagined. I feel different around her. Like I want to be a better person, a better man, to be truly worthy of her. The most powerful sensation sweeps through me, and it takes considerable willpower to stay focused in the moment.

“Am I boring you, Logan?” my father asks, his suspicious eyes keenly observing me.

Dammit. I totally zoned out. I clear my throat. “Of course not, Father. I—”

“We both wanted the same part,” Dante interjects before I can offer up any explanation. Father quirks a brow. Dante shrugs like it’s no big deal. “It’s Romeo and Juliet. Who doesn’t want to be Romeo?” He shoots me a sly look.
