Milan checks his watch and leaves his cup on the kitchen counter. “Our time’s up, my little rat. Till tomorrow.”

“Wait, can we speak? Milan–” I begin, however he’s out the door, and I’m left within the kitchen and the silence is buzzing too loud in my ears.

My coronary heart is in my head, beating so quick I feel it’ll explode.

I sit down on the desk, attempting to assume via all my choices. However there are none. It’s both them, or Rosey. And I got here right here for her. She’s my household. She’s my all the pieces. They’ve turn into my household, too… however who am I with out Rosey? Nobody. One half of a human. And who am I with out Orion? Logan? Kai? A damaged soul.

“Maisy!”

Orion’s guttural voice startles me. I soar, and wipe my tears hurriedly.

“I’m right here.” I get down on my knees and begin amassing the damaged items of the cup off the ground. “I dropped my espresso.”

“Thank God! The connection to my safety cameras wasn’t working. Glad you’re okay.” He sees me kneeling on the ground and chuckles. “I’ll have to begin charging you for the cups.”

“It slipped,” I say sweetly.

He sniffs the espresso pot. “Did you make extra?”

“How’d you inform?”

“It smells totally different. Can I attempt it?”

“Certain. Please do. Though I’m undecided I prefer it.”

I watch him from the ground as he pours himself a cup and tastes it. His face contorts, however I do know he’s attempting to not make me really feel dangerous. I don’t like Milan’s revolting espresso both! I wish to shout.

“It’s… not for me, darling.”

I push myself to my toes and throw the damaged shards within the rubbish. “I don’t prefer it, both. Right here, let me pour it down the sink. I’ll make a contemporary one.”

I take the pot and stand on the sink, ready for it to empty. Orion wraps his arms round my waist from behind and presses our our bodies collectively. I lean again into his chest, permitting his scent to overwhelm me. Possibly that’ll assist me resolve. I’m torn. I can’t see myself not being with him, and but, the mere point out of my sister awakens the fighter inside me. I’ll save her.

“Mmm, final night time was wonderful. You had been divine. My goddess,” he mumbles in opposition to my pores and skin, nuzzling my neck and gently grinding his bulge in opposition to me.

“Yeah, and then you definitely left me. All of you.” I drive a chuckle, and transfer away from his arms. “Let me make the espresso.”

He tilts his head to take a look at me. “Are you okay?”

Now will not be the time to scrutinize me. I add a number of scoops of his espresso to the filter. “I feel my interval’s approaching, that’s all. I’m a bit moody.”

“Certain. If that’s all it’s.” He kisses me and slaps my ass. “I’ve to go. I solely got here to verify on you. I see you’re completely nice by yourself.”

“Yeah. So long.”

All I’ve been doing right now is pondering, planning, and avoiding Orion. I had a very good ten hours earlier than I noticed him once more, they usually had been too quick as a result of my mind not solely went into overdrive, it received jammed. Pacing as much as the highest of the steps and all the way down to the basement, again and again, with my head down and thoughts racing, attempting to make sense of all of it. But, I nonetheless couldn’t determine something out.

All my life I knew what and who I used to be after. Kill Milan, discover Rosey. Not essentially in that order. I awoke with that thought, I went to mattress with that thought. All my life, up till the second I met Kai, Logan, and Orion. They difficult my life. They made it higher, however as a substitute of getting peace of thoughts, I’m bewildered. They had been supposed to guard me, assist me discover Rosey, after which… after which Rosey and I’d be on our approach to Mexico. Or someplace farther, the place no person would discover us. The best way issues are actually, I’ve my boys on one facet, and Milan and Rosey on the opposite.

I may have threatened him with the DVDs, however they had been stupidly given to the police. I may’ve gone to the media and uncovered him. There are all the time one or two journalists prepared to threat their lives for fame. Why didn’t Orion hearken to me?

Orion received again an hour in the past and he was able to play, saying he wished to get forward in our recreation earlier than Logan and Kai be part of us later tonight. He and I’ve performed occasionally, not full-on intercourse, however he’d tease me, degrade me, reward me, and by the point Kai and Logan would be part of us I’d do something to get their love. Who would’ve thought that phrases like these would rouse the needy, disadvantaged little lady in me?

And I didn’t need something greater than to have intercourse with him tonight, however seeing Milan up shut and private has put me off. I have to determine it out. I may by no means observe via with what he’s requested me to do. Betray my boys? By no means. However may I, for Rosey?

So, I denied Orion. He didn’t prefer it, however put it all the way down to my imminent interval. I even complained of stomach cramps. Needed to make it plausible.
