But then something blasted into my subconscious.
That voice.
That awful fucking voice.
“You’re ready. Come to me.”
No.
No!
It wasn’t time.
Too early. It was too fucking early.
I wasn’t ready.
I needed more time.
Just a little more fucking time.

Indigo and electric-blue light filled the space with a soothing, muted glow. It was both illumination through the shadowy cave walls, and decoration all in one shot.
Made it kind of majestic really.
We were in The Caverns.
It was mostly known as a party venue for us students here at Loxley, but it could also be made to be a calmer, more intimate lounge sort of thing.
Which was how I had it set up now.
For my loves.
I looked out at them chilling in the dark velvet seating set into one of the stone alcoves as I brought over a couple more drinks—one for me, and one for Evira that she’d wanted to try out.
It had been a whole deal managing to reserve this place just for us tonight, for our date night—something we all needed with how busy things had been lately—but I’d pulled it off.
I’d made it happen.
My charming and popular standing, and the influence I subtly exerted as a result of that here at Loxley Academy, had its advantages.
We were here because Win had pointed out to me that he’d noticed Evira and Vax getting kind of primal-antsy during our fucking the last few times.
Like, with their natures, they’d needed it wilder, rougher.
Really, a depraved, dirty chase in the forest, or the surrounding area of campus would’ve been the best to indulge in that kind of need—and kink—they both had. But with The Shadowed agents watching and safeguarding Win, we couldn’t have that.
No way in fuck would I be okay with anyone watching Evira, Winter, and Vax all sexed-up, naked, and in deliciously fucked states in front of anyone else. Just the thought of that happening made me near-feral.
So this place was the next best thing. For now.
It was spacious enough. It had the rough cave walls. Win had even reinforced it with his necromantic magic, so damage could be delivered without the place being compromised. Or caving in.
We were all set.
