His expression remains closed, jaw set, chest heaving in slow breaths. A wave of nausea grabs me by the throat. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry- “There is no need to cry, dear.” Irene pats my shoulder. “We are just chatting. Let me guess- you feel guilt because of the history between your father and Koen’s…

“Not here.” “Oh?” I bite into my thumbnail. “It’s a very small space, Serena, and you are . . . Your scent destroys my focus. It’s better if we’re not too alone.” He leads me to the green area behind the building, past the playhouse that must have been installed for Sem’s youngest patients. The…

“It’s okay, Saul, I- “ “Maybe later we can discuss that werecrab thing?” I frown. “You seemed pretty opposed thirty minutes ago.” “Well, I had to. You know how Amanda and Koen are.” “And how’s that?” “Sticks in the mud. Unimaginative. But the werecrab thing has potential. And I’ve been thinking of writing a book,…

But I’m getting sleepy. And he is, too. And then the fever starts. Every single time he sets a hand to his cock, he will have this moment in his mind. IGO TO MY ROOM, AND WE BOTH KNOW WHAT FOR. Just like we both know what it means when I come back flushed and…
