He nodded.

“Yeah, he just needs to work through this, and speak to me. I’ll make him feel better.”

Jolie wasn’t sure if he’d be okay or not. This was a rough one, and she knew it.

“He’ll forgive me, right?”

Jacques kissed her on the tip of the nose.

“He will.”

Only, for the first time in a long time, she was pretty sure that Jacques just lied to her.

Yeah, this was going to suck.

Upstairs

Private Room

Logan couldn’t help but stare at Cerise. She was sitting on the bed, and he was right beside her. They’d come upstairs, and found a space to lay low until Rinnon called for them.

Now, he was thinking about her and them having sex.

It was clear she knew what he was thinking because it made her laugh.

“What?” he asked.

Cerise smiled at him.

“We’re going to have to discuss some of the things we share now, because I am in your mind, and I can hear everything you’re thinking.”

Immediately, he blushed.

“Oh.”

She leaned over and found his mouth with hers. The kiss was sweet, and it made him sigh with contentment.

This was nice.

When she broke the kiss, she grinned.

“I’m not sure I’d say nice. Nice is a walk in the park. Maybe more than nice.”

He was so happy.

Well, now, since he wasn’t in intense pain and feeling like shit from drinking her blood.

Honestly, he was shocked he’d been able to do it. If someone told him he’d be drinking his mate’s blood, let alone tasting it…

He’d have told them they were nutty.

“Well, aren’t we all nutty?” she asked.

Yeah, she’d been right, and he knew they needed to talk. Logan was pretty sure there was a lot to learn, and he wanted to do just that.

“What’s going to happen between us?” he asked.
