“What about Wizard?”
“I am not taking anything from her.Dad screwed her over.”
“He also tried to kill you, and she showed up when you needed her.”
“I hate asking her for things.I will figure it out.”
Etienne smiled.“We will figure it out.”
She wrinkled her nose, and he grinned and then kissed her slowly.When his lips were an inch from hers, he whispered, “Get used to it.”
She tried to meet his gaze, but her eyes crossed.“No.”
He chuckled.“Did you want to see a therapist?”
She opened and then closed her mouth.“That might not be a bad idea.My PTSD is extreme.”
He nodded.“Rightfully so.It is best that you address it now.”
“Like, right now?”
“Not today.By the way, that will be covered by our pack.It is part of maintenance.”
“Oh, so I am on your insurance?”
He nodded.“The moment we sign the contract and I forward them a copy.”
“Oh.Got it.”
They resumed kissing, and the vehicle turned and slowed.Tosh said, “Home.”
He got out, Etienne got out, and then she scooted across the seat and ended up in Tosh’s arms.
She was carried into the house and muttered, “This is embarrassing.”
“No one to see it but you and me and Etienne.”
She wrinkled her nose and leaned her head against his shoulder as they headed up the stairs.
Etienne flicked on the light, and to Dex’s senses, things started to move in slow motion.
Her new clothing was removed slowly, and it fluttered to the floor.Tosh knelt and took off her shoes, setting her clothing carefully to one side.
She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Etienne.He was unbuckling his belt when her phone went off.
Dex found her phone and answered.“Hello?”
“Dex?This is Arwell.Your stuff is in the bedroom that is fourth on the left.”
“Thank you.Thank you so much.”
“We will talk soon.Have a nice evening.”
“Bye, Arwell.”
There was a soft laugh, and the call ended.
She turned her phone off and set it down.She looked at Etienne.“My friend transported all of my belongings here.I am gonna go look.”
