“King, I…”
“Now.”
Damn it.I unclasped my bra and pushed my thong down my legs. But I didn’t stand up for him to see me. “King, you were right…”
“Go over to your bed and spread your legs for me.”
God, he wasn’t going to talk to me until I did this. I stood up out of my chair and sat down on the edge of my bed.
“Touch yourself. Now.”
I slid my fingers inside of me. And I pictured standing in the bank. Looking at Otto as Bennett fucked me with his fingers.
“Faster,” King said. “I only have five minutes before my next meeting.”
This felt…wrong. But somehow right. Just like it had felt a little wrong when Bennett had touched me in front of Otto, Ace, and Huxley. So why did I love it so much?
I came in under two minutes. And I wasn’t sure if it was because I was still terrified, or still turned on from what happened at the bank.
“Fuck, Zoey.” King groaned as he came into his tissue.
“King…”
He held up his freehand to stop me. He tossed his tissue in the trash and then I heard the zip of his pants. “You have one minute, Zoey.”
“You were right. About all of it. There’s something else in this town…”
“How do you know?”
“They showed me. They…”
“They?”
I nodded. “I don’t just need a cure for Callum anymore. I need a cure for werecats too. There has to be something, right?”
“Werecats?” He didn’t look all that surprised, even though I’d just told him the craziest thing ever.
“Please tell me you know of a cure for them. Something like that coin you mentioned…”
“Actually…” He rubbed his chin. “That’ll work.”
“Wait, the same coin will work for both of them?”
He nodded. “Yeah. It should take care of both problems. Zoey, I’m sorry, but I really have to go. Everything will be fine. Let me know once you’ve found that coin.” He signed off.
I took a deep breath. King said it was going to be fine.
But the black screen and silence made my stomach churn.
If it was going to be fine…why did my chest still hurt?
I logged out of my camming session and pulled out my phone. I wanted to text Otto. I wanted to ask him if he’d heard of the coin with the Anubis head. I wanted to tell him that I was pretty sure I was in love with him too.
I buried my face in my hands. What was I going to do? I pictured curling up next to Otto on the couch downstairs. I’d felt so safe falling asleep in his arms. Butnow when I thought about him, I pictured his friends’ vicious claws and sharp teeth.
Something hit my window. I lifted my face out of my hands and stared at the glass. Another rock lightly hit the window.
My heart started racing.
