“King, King, wake up,” I whispered “It’s me, Jeni”

He kept kissing ainst me

“King, you have to—” I noticed my back felt wet and ware had been repeatedly dissecting King in this bed and—

It was his blood! The bed was soaked with it

“Ah! No! No!” I pushed King off h the curtains on the other side, falling to the floor

I pulled offred splotch on the back “This place is horrible!” I kicked it away “Horrible!”

The sound of King’s moan filled the room

I rushed around the bed to find him naked and on his side He had blood on his back but no cuts or open wounds He did, however, have some new body art Around his collarbone was the sae Black with an intricate woven pattern

I kneeled next to him “Are you okay? Can you hear me?”

“Why did you throw ray eyes fluttered open

“I’ and…” I didn’t want to say the rest It didn’t matter

“What are you doing here, Seer?” he asked

“My name is still Jeni And I’ you open in one of my visions”

King sat up slowly “And you thought to rescue e now?”

I hated that he didn’t care I’d come to help hie and her head are both downstairs in the dining roo to each other anymore”

“Who?” King rubbed his forehead, looking groggy

I tried not to look at his naked body, still partially aroused, even if it was the one thing I couldn’t forget and longed for He was all lean, hardand thick, and he kne to use it

“Ansin, the Ten Club member,” I said

“He’s here?”

“Yes I—”

“Where is Ansin now?” King got to his feet and walked over to an old vanity in the corner where a pile of clothes sat neatly folded on top I assumed they were his clothes because he slid on the black pants “Sonofabitch Fucking Sage” King caught a glimpse of his bare chest in the mirror and stroked the circular tattoo

“Sage see your heart ross “She probably didn’t know you can’t die”
