Oh… I…oh!
My mouth popped open.
Shit.
Thedog?
Ace was grinning, but Knox couldn’t contain himself he was shaking so hard. “No… because…” He could barely breathe. “I got him this collar so he could… so he could…” Knox cracked, tears streaking his face. “S-so he couldchargeit at night.”
Ace let out another cackle.
You know, it was nice to see him happy about something. Wasn’t very common.
“This is good, right?” I asked, eyes wide. “No way you’re gonna die, now.”
Rogue seemed utterly lost for words, his frame as still as a statue.
He was gone in the bond, too.
“I’d like to know how Knox knows,” Ace mused. “I never told a soul.”
“What?”Rogue demanded.
“Uh. I figured out after… Well.” Knox caught Rogue’s expression, laughter fading for a second. “About that…”
“Aboutwhat?”
Ace’s gaze flickered between them, fully engaged.
“You know right at the start where you almost burned down my art room?”
“You let itblow up?” Rogue demanded.
Knox shrugged. “Triedto. Nothing happened. That’s when I noticed the Monopoly board was missing a piece.”
Huh.
That’s probably when he’d mounted it down here on the wall like a decoration.
Cheeky cunt.
Rogue, however, didn’t seem to agree.
In fact, he had hit his max.
“You let itblow up?”
I felthimblow up in the bond. He made for Knox, all sanity gone from his eyes.
Oh.
There they went again.
I folded my arms, watching as Rogue bowled Knox right over the couch arm.
Still hot.
I admired the fight for a minute then crossed back to the cage, nudging the Monopoly board over to the bars with my foot.
