“Fuck, baby, you’re going to make a liar out of me,” he moaned softly against my lips. “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to fuck you right here on this couch.”
I laughed softly against his lips before breaking away. It took everything I had to move off him, but I finally was able to.
He smirked at me from his spot, his hand over the impressive tent he was sporting in his pants.
“You’re the devil,” he said through the smirk.
“Sinner,” I teased.
His smile widened, his eyes sparkling. “Always for you, baby.”
I chuckled at that and left him to go to Ellis. But my mind immediately went to Ryder and my fears for him. He’d nearly died. I wasn’t able to go see him, Ani’s orders. He wanted me to stay inside, but it was killing me. I’d thrown up earlier in the day because I’d been so worried.
If it wasn’t Ryder on my mind, then it was the horsemen.
I needed to see Enzo. I knew Evan couldn’t handle telling him right now, but Enzo needed to know before Dante got to him.
And Dante… my brother needed a come-to-God moment.
And I was God.
At midnight,I crept out from beneath Evan and Klaus and dressed in all black before tiptoeing out of the bedroom and going to check on Ellis. She was sleeping peacefully, clutching Mr. Rufus.
I’d spoken to Ani earlier in the evening, and he said Ryder was out of it on pain meds and couldn’t talk. That seemed to be the usual response I would get on the matter.
The cops weren’t coming up with any leads, and Klaus had sent more men out to look. So far, we had no answers, and it terrified me.
I pulled my phone out and hit Levin’s number, praying he’d answer me.
The phone rang five times, and I was resigned to just hang up, when his deep voice came on the line.
“What happened?” he demanded, his voice muffled. He’d clearly been sleeping, and I’d woken him.
“N-Nothing,” I said. God, I hadn’t spoken to him in forever.
“Rosalie, what’s wrong?” he pressed. “Is my dad OK?” I noted the tremor in his voice. They’d worked long and hard on their relationship, and while Levin still was a bit cold, I knew he cared for Klaus.
“H-He’s fine. I-I need a favor.”
Levin was quiet for a moment before speaking again. “I’m going to guess my dad doesn’t know.”
“Right.”
He sighed. “Where are you?”
“At the safe house Dominic set up. Can you… Can you come get me?”
He was quiet again before I heard background noise.
“I’ll be there in a minute.” The line disconnected, and I closed my eyes. I wasn’t sure if he’d come, but he was really the only one I could reach out to about this.
I kept glancing at the bedroom, hoping the guys hadn’t woken and noticed me gone. Finally, there was a soft knock on the door. I pulled it open to find Levin standing in front of me, shrouded in black.
He raised his brows at me.
“Seems we had the same idea. Maybe I’m turning into Dom with knowing shit I shouldn’t know.”
I stepped out of the apartment, locking the door behind me.
