“So… When Morwen raped me… I, uhm… I ended up having an orgasm from it. Even at the time, it felt… gross. Like… It was an orgasm, but it didn’t feel like one. If that makes sense.”

“Yeah, he did the same to me,” she says. “I think he does it intentionally as a form of humiliation.”

“It was definitely humiliating,” I say. “The worst part is I didn’t see it or the guy on the train as rape at the time. It seemed just like any other day to me. How fucked up was my life that being randomly raped by someone is normal to me?”

“It just goes to show what you went through,” she says simply. “But… by the time all of this is done with… They’ll be dead.”

“Yeah,” I say with a smile. “I shouldn’t be this excited about murder, but I am.”

I look over at Dad, and he has tears in his eyes, but they are still bright red. He looks far past angry at this point. “Well, damn,” Volis says.

“Sorry. That got really dark,” Leli says to Volis.

“Please don’t apologize,” Volis says softly. “Thank you for trusting us enough to say that.”

“I wanted you all to know, and I wanted to get it off my chest I just didn’t know how to bring it up without anyone thinking I was trying to take away from what Lilith went through. One day is nothing compared to five years with that monster.”

“Your trauma is just as valid as mine, no matter the timeframe or severity,” I say.

“Okay,” she smiles. “Thank you, guys, for listening to it, though.”

“I’m going to fucking kill him if you don’t,” Vash says simply to me.

“Oh, I will,” I say. “I will be the last thing he sees before he dies.”

Chapter Twenty One

Lilith

Iwaketosunshineflooding into the room, warming me. While we were gone, the guys had the beds moved out and one big one moved in. Now, we can all sleep in the same bed, like we did at Dad’s house. They will move me, so I end up sleeping next to all of them at some point in the night, and I love it. I love every moment of being close to them. When I am lying in bed with them, none of the bad in the world can sneak their way in. It’s just me and my mates.

“Good morning,” Daemon says sweetly, kissing my forehead.

“You know that you glow in your sleep?” Kael says, kissing my neck.

“What?” I ask.

“Mhmm,” Daemon says with a smirk. “What were you dreaming about?” My face immediately turns red as I flip over to my belly to bury my face in the pillow.

“Come on,” Kael says. “Don’t be shy. What was it?”

“It was all three of you,” I say laughing.

“Oh? How did that go?” Daemon asks, a hint of amusement in his voice, making me roll to face him.

“Well… I was on top of you with Kael behind, and Callum was… standing close by,” I say, still blushing.

“You must be missing a detail somewhere to be blushing that hard,” Daemon grins, cupping my blazing hot cheek.

“It was just different,” I say.

“How?” Kael asks.

“It’s dumb,” I admit, shaking my head.

“Unless it was you, shifted, no it’s not,” Daemon says. “Say it.”

“It was consensual, just…”
