Sirena returned. She kissed my forehead before going to slide onto Shadow’s lap. He smiled at her and pecked her lips.

“Angel, are you OK?” I asked.

She gave me her sweet smile and signed quickly. I was getting good at signing, but she was a fuck ton better and faster.

“She said she’s fine and that she understands Cady’s fears. She’s not upset,” Shadow said.

I nodded, feeling relieved. “I just worry about how Sin will respond if it’s his. I think it’ll fuck him up. He doesn’t want a kid with her.”

Sirena signed again.

“You’re right,” I murmured. “We’ll love the baby anyway, and we’ll keep Sin in line. He does have us to lean on.”

Her words made me feel better. I’d been freaking out over the possibility or her saying fuck it, but if she were still in a good place with it, then I would be too.

“You guys really do look good together,” I admitted, staring at Shadow and my girl.

He smiled. “I think so too. It’s her, really, who looks good.”

“I won’t deny that,” I said.

“Would you look at the time?” Asylum got to his feet and grabbed his jacket.

“Where are you going?” Shadow asked.

“Out. I have to meet with myself in the forest. You three have fun. Shadow, don’t splooge on my pillowcase. I’ll be pissed.”

“Man, shut up,” Shadow muttered, his cheeks red.

I chuckled and waved Asylum off. The door clicked closed behind him, leaving me with Sirena and Shadow.

“So what do you guys do? Just sit in here when you’re not in class?” I asked.

“Pretty much,” Shadow said. “In the evenings, we go to the clearing and Sirena practices with her ax. She’s pretty good with it, aren’t you, cupcake.”

She nodded, her eyes gleaming.

I sat forward, intrigued. “I’d love to see you in action sometime.”

She grinned at me, letting me know she had no qualms about that.

“Sometimes I kiss her,” Shadow continued softly. “Touch her.”

I raised my brows as he moved his hand up her thigh. He looked over and smirked at me, making me scowl. He was testing me. Of course, the little prick was.

She kissed him and got up. I watched her enter the bathroom again, the door closing softly behind her.

“Do you know how to fuck her?” I asked, rising to his challenge after she was gone.

He visibly swallowed. “I’ve never…with anyone…I don’t know. Mirage had me doing some practice. He, uh, kicked me in the balls whenever I came too fast.” He winced and looked at his hands in his lap.

“Virgin.” I nodded. “She’s hot. I get it.”

“I want to.” He looked at me. “I just don’t want to embarrass myself. Again. God knows I’ve done that enough,” he muttered.

“I have an idea.”

“What’s that?”
