“Because. This is serious shit. We’re talking about murder.”

“And you think it’s no less serious with Saul in the mix?” Bastion asks incredulously.

“No, but Iris is out of control. I don’t know why, but she’s getting reckless.” I drop my head with a weary sigh, my chest pulsing with pain.

“I can’t have Saul all up in my business,” Cyn mutters. “Besides, I’ll kill the fucker just on principle.”

“What about Hate?” I ask, shrinking away when he turns an icy stare my way.

“What about him?”

“He told me I was in the way and you could get hurt. Maybe it’s bett—”

“Fuck!” Cyn slams his fist on the table.

Wincing, I bow my head, and he leans his forehead against mine, saying softly, “You let me worry about my cousin.”

“What did I miss?” Jig says with a playful grin, his wet hair spiked around his face.

“We need to make a plan,” Cyn says, setting me aside gently and standing.

Yawning behind my hand, I glance between them warily, unsure what will happen next but knowing it’s probably going to be bad.

When I get to Cyn, he’s gazing at me with concern, and his eyes soften. “Why don’t you go rest?”

Translation—you don’t need to know what’s going on. I get it, but I’m annoyed because this is about Iris and me and my fucking uncle. I’m worried, but Cyn doesn’t like the word, no, so tiredly, I nod and follow Jig, who leads me from the room and back up the stairs.

We stop outside a different room this time, with dark blue bed covers and bare walls. I step inside and glance back at him curiously and he says, “This is where Cyn sleeps.”

Nodding, I sit on the side of the bed and sigh, smiling when Jig says softly, “Don’t worry so much, LB. It’ll be okay.”

“Promise?” I whisper.

“Promise,” he says without hesitation before kissing me on the head.

“Sleep,” he says gruffly.

Once he’s gone, I undress and lay on my stomach, dropping into a deep sleep despite the terror burning my veins.

The end is coming. I can feel it. The question is, will the people I love survive?

???

Sometime later, I rouse when Cyn pulls me gently into his arms. Laying my head on his chest, I snuggle deep and moan when his warm palm smooths over my ass. The rough pads of his fingers feel sinful against my skin, and I wriggle at the contact.

Cyn chuckles but says roughly, “Hold still, I don’t want to hurt you, beauty.”

“Mm,” I murmur, looking up at him. He’s so beautiful the sight makes my throat ache, and on impulse, I grab my phone by the bed and open the camera app, snapping a picture of him looking at me through lidded eyes.

Unfortunately, when I do, I see a text from Iris, and my stomach drops. But I ignore it and smile at Cyn softly. I’m running out of time, and I’m desperate to create memories I can hold close when all is said and done.

With a smirk, he pulls me down beside him and takes a picture of us together. Although the gesture warms me, I grab the phone away immediately after, relaxing when he doesn’t so much as glance at the screen.

I set it aside with an urgent need and meet him eagerly when he pulls me in for a sensual kiss. He licks inside my mouth slowly, his lips curving in a wicked grin when I grab his cheeks and moan into his mouth.

Staring into his bright eyes, my heart pumps heavily as he makes love to my mouth, and when I can stand it no more, I push to my knees and pull my shirt over my head.

His burning eyes drop to my breasts and he licks his lips before running a finger over a nipple. Fire races through my system, and I tip my head back at the surge of tingles, moaning and bucking against his dick.
