I flash her one wicked look, as I slide it open. She lowers her eyes, slack jawed as she calculates the drop, instinctively getting closer to me. A chuckle reverberates through my chest.

Finally, I find it, covered in dirt and broken from the fall. Tears stream down my face as I cradle the pieces in my hands. "Why are you crying?" the boy whispers weakly, now awake from the sound of the movement. "It's one of my most precious possessions.” I reply, my voice thick with tears. “And

He arches an eyebrow, clearly unsatisfied. “Louder.”“I’m yours,” I repeat, my voice stronger this time, but still shaky. He gives me another teasing stroke, and I can’t help but moan.“Louder, Fiona. I need to hear you,” he says, his voice a mix of demand and dark promise. He brushes his thumb over
