Page 75 of Eye of the Hurricane
“Probably best we stay distracted for the other eyewall then, hm?” I ask, spinning around in his grip to face him.
“Once not enough, Kitty Kat?”
“You know it’s not.”
“I do. But I needed to hear you acknowledge it.”
He picks me up off of the ground, wrapping my legs around him, and takes me back to bed. And we make the same bad decision again and again… and again.

“Don’t kill me,”Audra says the second I walk in the door for family dinner.
Not exactly something you want to hear from one of your best friends as soon as you walk in.
“What did you do?” I ask, pointing a finger in her direction. Just behind her, Ravyn is standing there looking guilty too. “What didbothof you do?” I groan.
Audra offers a sheepish smile. Ravyn is wearing a smile that has me breaking a sweat.What in the fuck did these two knuckleheads do?.
“We might have invited the girls to family dinner,” Audra says, wincing.
“What girls?” I ask.
It’s a dumb question. I know what girls. I know it’s Katherine and Luna. But since we hunkered down together for the hurricane, it’s been radio silence.
“Your girl and her best friend, dumbass,” Roman cuts in from the kitchen. I stick my middle finger in the air for him.
“Not my girl. And it’s fine because she’s not speaking to me, so there’s no way she’ll show up anyway.”
Ravyn gives me a look letting me know that’s not the case.
“They… Well, they’re on the way,” Audra cuts in.
I groan.
“Perfect. And what gave you this marvelous idea?”
Roman’s head snaps around in my direction. “You must be talking to Ravyn, I know you’re not taking that tone with my girlfriend,” he says, pointing the knife he’s using to cut up cucumbers at me. I roll my eyes.
“She was my best friend before she was your girlfriend.”
“Don’t care. Watch your mouth.”
The little brother in me wants to argue with him. But the best friend in me is glad Audra has someone who will defend her so fiercely. Especially after everything she’s been through.
“I assumed since you guys had spent the night together the night of the hurricane that you had talked and were no longer practicing distance.”
“Well we’ve got more distance now than we did before. We haven’t talked since I left her house the next day,” I tell them.
“Maybe you’re bad in bed,” Ravyn suggests.
“How do you know we were in bed? And why do you twoinsiston gossiping?” I ask.
“Katherine told Luna and Luna told us,” Audra explains.
“And she said I was bad in bed? I find that hard to believe after the night we had.”
