“All of it,” he added.

“Why? Aren’t you scared of what is underneath?”

“Last time, we fucked. This time, we are making love, and I want you to know I’m making love with you for you, not because of the front you put up to the world.”

It was most likely the most romantic thing anyone had said to me.

I pushed away from him slightly, my hands linked behind his head. “What else did you and Dad talk about?” I was really interested in the direction the conversation had taken and the terror that passed across Maiden’s face when he thought I had heard it.

“Just shit to do with Lynx.”

I arched an eyebrow. “Like what?”

“He’s leaving the club.”

Before I could react, the power blacked out. I screamed and latched on to Maiden.

It wasn’t the dark that scared me, it was the fact that in the window behind Maiden, I swear I saw Kurt with a gun pointed at us and one finger over his lips, telling me to keep quiet.
