“What will you do with me?”

“That my dear is the sixty-four ht hitthe back lawn behind o and I knew though they had lunch they never had dinner at the house She ruffled through her bag and came up with a half eaten apple

That shit pissed h I had no idea why The aiven day is obscene Seeing so, and I’s

As we reached the house I came up short I had no idea what to do with her We had a ton of spare rooms in the house, but mom would freak if I let one of the servants stay in one of thes, and she was bound to be found out But there was no way I was going to leave her out in the cold

DRACO

I wasn’t into that sneaking around shit At twenty-tas a grown man who’d never had to do that shit even as a kid But this was a delicate situation Just because I felt so didn’t mean I was about to jump in with both feet There was too much at stake for that shit to happen

In the end there was only one thing to do “Coh the kitchen and up the back stairs toNobody dared coh time for her to sneak back downstairs “I won’t sleep with you” She got stubborn right outsideher heels in

“Didn’t ask you to” I kept going with her hand in o find you so to eat” She looked at the bathroom door and back at ins” She lost all the color in her face

I was across the room in a flash “What is it?” She recoiled like I’d slapped her and her body begun to treether

“Somebody attacked you?” She pulled out of my arms and headed for the bathroom door “I’ll take that bath now and th-thank you” She went in and closed the door, leavingthere with more questions than answers

Halfway back to my room it struck me that I hadn’t done shit like this since I was a kid I shook my head as I carried on If only the boys could seenursemaid!

I placed the tray on the little side table under theas I listened to the water running in the other roootin the stables all this ti a bath?

I knew there was a sink in the stables and a pipe where theeither, which I was sure must be the case, left me cold What if someone else had found her?

I rested e behavior the last feeeks since I’d ive a fuck one-way or the other Most of the time I was in my own little world

I’d pretty unned down in the street right next to et the brain matter and blood of one of your favorite people in the world splattered all over your designer shoes up close and personal, you get your shit together or you go soft

Me I went fucking mental for like three years before pop reeled e of seventeen I was a changed man, we both were come to think of it

While gramps was alive pop had had ht he had at least another thirty years before he had to take the reins, but it wasn’t to be If I hadn’t known or guessed ere into before that day I got a crash course
