Chapter 4

“Harley, can I’ve a phrase?”

Harley squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her lips collectively to maintain the profanity threatening to spew out from doing so. The person she’d almost change into a magician to keep away from had lastly cornered her.

Nonetheless, she continued to wipe down the bar. It was a ritual she and Blue had began upon discovering nobody else had achieved it in what had seemed to be a very long time. Whereas it was needed, it was additionally therapeutic to her.

A memo that Set off hadn’t acquired; in any other case, he wouldn’t be standing behind her risking his life.

“It’s fairly smug of you to imagine that I’m concerned with you,” she replied as she leaned towards the counter she’d simply cleaned and folded her arms throughout her chest.

“So that you’re telling me that you just haven’t fantasized about me? It’s not my identify that you’re calling out as you stroke your clit?”

She rolled her eyes earlier than turning to choose up the bucket of soiled water left over from cleansing.
