I’d hts of tomorrow or Shazam or Dancer’s heart or the fate of the world I know a truth: worrying doesn’t make toolden night before I made the hard decisions I had to confront
Mind neatly compartmentalized with my Jada parts put away and h the tangles, then stepped back and looked at myself Naked Clear-eyed No makeup No perfu on the way back to the penthouse Sex with Ryodan would have been just that, sex It would have been intense, wild,Sex with Dancer waslove It would be sweet, tender, and heart-blowing But hopefully not literally
I’d figured out a way to trickoffup, I just wouldn’t put any on Problem solved
When I walked naked out of the bathroom, Dancer’s back was to me, but hethe pie and teased, "Mega, I know you definitely want mushrooms on your p-p--PUH"
The pizza hit the floor and exploded when he dropped it Crust went flying and sauce splattered across the floorboards and up the cabinets Not that he noticed
"Holy fucking fuck!" he said fiercely, then stood with hisAfter a ether
He stood there, trying to keep his gaze on my face, like maybe it wouldn’t be polite to stare at eek, I took all ranted, his gaze dropped like a stone He looked down, up, down, and up again I shivered as his gazeme feel hot and cold at the same time
He stared and stared, and just when I ondering what I , he reached behind his head, yanked off his shirt, unbuckled his belt, dropped his jeans, kicked them away into the pizza sauce, and he was naked, too
"Couldn’t let you be naked alone," he ht"

"Epic?" I said helpfully
He laughed "In every possible way I dreah and you’d live long enough that you’d grow up and see me as a man You’re the most fearless, brilliant, incredible woman I’ve ever met What did I do to deserve you? Are you sure you want me to be your first?" he said, like he couldn’t believe it "Mega, I’"
His beautiful eyes were so honest and earnest, it melted ainst razed , and never could be, and you did everything to deserve me You listen to s You’re brilliant And you’re kind and good and constant And you’re epic, too Yes, I’m definitely absolutely one hundred percent certain I want you to be my first There’s no one else, Dancer It’s you"
Just like that, I banished Ryodan’s ghost fro on rily, and for the first tiuise the lust and desire he felt forHe wantedhis hands were doing as intensely as I feel allinto the cells ofme all the way to the place where my soul used to be
