He must do something, because she squeals in surprise and pain.Then she moans in pleasure.

I remain in my office, head tilted back against my closed door, listening to everything.My dick is hard, ready.I could pull it from my pants, wank out my frustrations, but something about the way Autumn refused me has me refusing myself.

I don’t want to share my body or my blood with you.

Harsh.Deservedly so.

They fuck for what feels like hours.It could be.Time no longer holds meaning, not tonight.

When all sounds have ceased, I pack a bag and venture from my rooms.

I have to get out of here.

Autumn’s asleep; from the hallway outside Will’s office, I can hear the even sounds of her breathing.Will, of course, is awake.We rarely sleep, and when we do, it’s only for an hour or two at a time.

He hears me standing near his door and he rises from the bed.He doesn’t have to ask; I can read the question on his face.

“Yes,” I say.“I’m leaving.One of us has to.”

He scoffs.“You’re sulking because she told you no.”

“It’s not that she refused me; you know it’s not that.She’ll come around if I stop treating her like garbage.But there’s a reason I’m treating her like this—to keep distance.Distance that we sorely need.”

“We don’t need distance.”

“We do,” I say.“If she sticks around, we will, eventually, kill her.”

“We wouldneverhurt her.I’m weary of this argument.”

I clench my jaw so hard, I fear my teeth will crack.“As am I.There’s no reasoning with you.But don’t get attached to the mouse.They have short lifespans.And when you’re responsible for making hers shorter, don’t come to me to wipe you off the floor again.”

“You were happy enough to play with her when she wasn’t turning you down.”

“She goes, or I go,” I say.“And if I leave?I’m not coming back.”

Eyes ablaze with anger, he shakes his head.“Fine then.Go.”

I’m not surprised that he chose her.In some ways, I’m glad he did—I wouldn’t be able to stand it knowing she was out in the city without our protection.

But I can’t fucking stay here, too, not when I know how easily it could get out of hand.Not when we are just as dangerous to her as the world beyond.

It’s past midnight and I’m sitting in bed, scouring rare book sites on my phone.More out of boredom than anything.Autumn, as a human, needs to sleep occasionally.As her daddy, I need to make sure she gets her rest.

She’s felt guilty since Xander left.

Two days have gone by since Autumn said she didn’t want to fuck him.

Two days since he left in a huff.

Two days with her all to myself.

We’ve fucked in all the rooms.I’ve had her blood.I’ve fucked her with my mouth, my cock, my hands.I’ve filled her tight little ass with my fingers while eating her out.No matter what I do, she’s always ready for more.

My little girl is utterly perfect.

At the same time, I miss my best friend, my frerte.
