I need to hts until they diffuse and go away entirely

If I stay here, I won’t be able to resist

I walk through the house, feeling as though I’ even if Fiona told me I have free rein of the property

The house creaks and whines like it’s haunted, and I have to tell myself several times not to be silly as I round corners and mistake shadows for attackers

I end in the far wing of the house – theroom where we had hot cocoa

The room I walk into is so out-of-place that I have to blink to assure myself it’s real

All along the sides of the large room sit Formula One cars, propped up on display brackets, their colors vibrant and eye catching, blooreens I count nine cars in total dotted around the long, wide room

I walk through it, glancing at the cars, and then behind the cars where the photos hang Each one shows Saul standing next to the car, his eyes intense as he stares at the carim lips

He doesn’t even smile in photos

He starts out young in the photos, a teenager ressively older until he looks as he does now, a silver-flecked fox with a bulging muscle laden body and eyes that tell ht now and finish what I started

I have to clench ly through me

I can scent her in the air, which makes no damn sense But it’s true Her scent wafts over totouches of womb and need andat me with an atavistic desire to claim her before the dark coer

Claim her Put a child in her belly before it’s too late
