? Spazzn - Decap and Gyrefunk ?

Isat there for a good three minutes before finally racing out behind Lux. On the way, I shot Vic a quick text letting him know I was taking care of it and to disappear before someone caught wind of his presence.

That should take care of him, but I wasn’t holding my breath. He was more curious these days, more vigilant. Always asking fucking questions and showing up anywhere at the drop of a hat. But anonymity was still that of importance to him, so although there was a slight chance Lux or Suki might have already seen him, there’s no way he’d risk it further by following me out the door.

Barreling down the steps, I jumped off the final three and bolted to the back of the building as soon as my feet hit the pavement. I couldn’t seem to move fast enough, my limbs still somewhat weak after the strain I’d put my body through to keep my dick in check.

Took every fucking ounce of self-control within me, and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy.

A smaller, mostly emptied car park was all that awaited me when I made it around back. Surrounded by tall palms, there wasn’t a soul in sight.

At least none that I could see within the lighting from the streetlamps.

“Lux?” I hissed, stepping around three large dumpsters, the gravel crunching beneath my boots.

No answer.

But then suddenly, I was pulled into the shadows between two of the receptacles.

“Woah!”

Lux had me cornered, small hand clenching the front of my tee, eyes paralyzing me in entirety.

“Were you lying to me?” she growled.

“About?”

“About the stalker! What else?!”

“No,” I shook my head, “why would I lie about that?”

“Because you’re you, you idiot, that’s why!” She pushed me further into the steel at my back with a grunt. “Who is he?”

“I told you, I’ve never seen him before.”

Why did you follow him here?” she pressed.

“Because…”

“Because what?!”

“Because it’s clear he wants to hurt you, and that’s not gonna fly with me,” I grit out.

Those baby blues jutted out, but she didn’t speak a single word. I couldn’t decipher the expression on her face.

From the erratic tempo of my breaths, you’d have thought I ran a mile. My heart was jackhammering and I couldn’t understand why after what happened inside that building not ten minutes ago.

But then I saw it.

That fire.

It didn’t just spark in her eyes—it burned everywhere. Hotter than any hell. From the inside out, I could feel it.

Scorching me.

Calling to me.

And just like the last time we were alone, we collided, more intensely if that were even possible.
