Without thinking it through, I lifted my arm to the top of the bed frame and held my wrist against the metal, snapping a quick picture.

I sent it to him, with a message.

Me

Tied myself to the bed

Not going anywhere

As the checkmark told me my message was sent, I reread it and froze.

There was another clear message behind my words. An unintended one.

He answered immediately.

Enzo

Don’t tempt me, Princess

My face flushed.

The rest of my body did, too.

He thought I was hitting on him. Maybe Iwasaccidentally hitting on him.

Shit.

I shoved a hand through my hair, and typed back another message.

Me

Would tempting you keep everyone alive?

Enzo

Not this time

My heart pounded.

Not this timewasn’tno.

It wasmaybe next time.

And it was far, far better than nothing.

I dropped the phone next to me and tucked my legs under the bedding. I should’ve gone to the closet for clothes, but his duvet was heavy and luxurious. He didn’t seem to use a top sheet, so the feel of it was nice on my legs.

Part of me wanted to text Silas or call him, to make sure he knew what was coming, but it wouldn’t help him if I made him more of a target. I needed to leave the distance between us.

Letting out a shaky breath, I grabbed the remote and tapped on the first streaming service. It opened up to profiles for all of the brothers.

Enzo.

Huntie.

Clay-Clay.

I bit back a tiny smile. The brothers must have a thing where they changed each other’s profile names to mess with each other.
