Everything is part of the grand scheme…

“Are the girls up yet?” I ask, acting casual.

Dev shrugs, so I turn to Nate.

“Yeah, I think they were fighting over a bathroom,” he tells me, quiet and nervous.

I go upstairs to check on them. My room is empty, but I hear muffled voices coming from Bunny and Kendra’s bedroom.

I approach closer and listen.

“Don’t you think it has anything to do with that case in Alaska?” Kendra’s voice cuts through the door, hushed but distinct. “A group of friends in a remote cabin… I get it—it sounds too familiar. And it’s been a while since you worked on something paranormal. Maybe you’re just not ready?”

“I know what I saw,” Bunny says. Her voice is tense, laced with that delicious uncertainty I love. “His eyes… like, there was this weird shine in them.”

Hm. She’s talking about me.

Interesting.

Is she finally catching on?

“Glowing eyes, really?” Kendra replies, clearly skeptical, still clinging to reason like a security blanket.

I knew why I picked you. That doubt makes you predictable. Soft.

“And his tongue…” Bunny continues, voice dropping lower. “Kendra, it wasn’t human.”

I smirk to myself.

“Babes, what exactly are you saying?”

“I don’t know… but something was out here last night. We’ve all heard it. And when I got up in the middle of the night, he was just standing by the stairs. It was weird.”

“So you think Ghost is possessed by a ghost or something?”

“Or something.”

The confusion twisting inside that pretty little head of hers—so raw, so tender. Silly, Bun-bun. Soon, you’ll understand.

“Look, you got spooked and your imagination went wild,” Kendra brushes it off. “Now, tell me how it was!”

“I mean, it was amazing…” Bunny’s tone shifts to something softer, and I know she’s blushing. “Better than I’d ever imagined. He made me come so many times I was about to pass out.”

My cock stirs at the memory. The sound of her voice flushed with pleasure, remembering how I split her open and watched her unravel.

“Well, now you’re just bragging, bitch!”

They both giggle.

I knock on the door, firm and measured. “Hey, you two, breakfast is ready. We should head out soon.”

“Um, okay. We’ll be down in a sec!” Kendra calls.

Then Bunny whispers, barely audible, “How long was he there? Did he hear us?”

Oh, I’ve heard, baby…
