He shakes his head.“Don’t come running if you hear something.”
“What—why?”
“Someone’s here.”

Suddenly, he’s gone.I don’t even hear his footsteps.I hear absolutely nothing, actually.
Is he okay?Who’s here?What if the lady who recognized me said something?What if I was followed here?It could be Dale.He wouldn’t have been able to drive down from Altera that fast, but it could be someone he found down here.He has enough connections, he could hire someone to kill me.
It can’t be Dale.It can’t be someone Dale sent.Right?
I have to put on clothes.I can’t do this naked.
Taking the towel from around my shoulders, I wrap it around my head, hoping that the bleach has been rinsed from my hair well enough.I look for my clothes, but I left them in Will’s room.
He told me not to leave the bathroom.
But what if someone’s hurting him?They could be having a violent fight, completely silent.They’re vampires—anything is possible.They aren’t natural, Will said, butsupernatural.Fuck.What do I do?
Suddenly, there’s a loud thud, and anoof.
“Asshole,” someone mutters.
“You wanker,” Will says, then laughs.
He’s laughing.He’s okay.
“I should be able to come into my own fucking place without getting tackled.”Xander’s voice.
I wrap the towel around my body and hurry through Will’s bedroom and office to the hallway, where I see Xander splayed out on the floor on his stomach, and Will getting off of Xander’s back.
“You haven’t been here in two days,” Will says.“I thought you were an intruder.”
“I’ve been staying at the Oakhill Street place,” Xander says, sounding sulky as he ignores Will’s proffered hand and picks himself up from the floor.
Not knowing what else to do, but not wanting to hang around wearing only a towel, I return to Will’s room, where I find my clothes and put them on.Once dressed, I go into Will’s office.He and Xander are already in there.
“Did I say you could get dressed, little girl?”Will asks.
I pause, hands on the bottom of my shirt where I was straightening it.“Um, no?”
“Take those clothes off.We were in the middle of something before we were interrupted.”
But…Xander is right there.I hesitate.
“Now, little girl.”Will’s voice is low.“Your safe word is red if you need it.”
Xander’s face is totally blank.
You know what, it’s nothing he hasn’t seen before.Maybe he doesn’t want me here, but there’s no denying he wants me.So, sure.Why the fuck not.I lift my shirt off and toss it to the floor, inwardly smiling when Xander winces.I throw my bra to the other side of Will’s desk.My shorts get tossed to one of the chairs, where they land on the seat like a second-rate throw pillow.And my panties get dropped right where I’m standing.I hold my arms out.“Ta-da.”
Neither of them looks amused, but the corner of Will’s mouth lifts up.Maybe.
“Have a seat on Daddy’s knee while I talk to Xander,” Will says, sitting in one of the chairs and gesturing that Xander should take the other one.
