I hit dial and wait with bated breath, feeling nervous. After the sixth ring, I lose hope and move to end the call but she answers.

“Hello?”

“H-hi.” I’m met with silence, I clear my throat and push on. “My name is Lakeland Deveraux and Chaos gave me your number.” I chew on my bottom lip nervously.

“Yeah?”

A woosh of air escapes me and I deflate. “I’m sorry, I’m totally blowing this. I’m calling because he said you might be able to help point me in the right direction of a good nursing school.”

“You want to be a nurse?” I bristle at the disbelief in her voice.

“Yes,” I snap. “Is that a problem?”

“Not at all. It’s just a shock because anyone who knows my cousins usually don’t really take too well with saving people.” I can’t help the snort that bursts out of me.

“Sorry. I understand that. When I told my boyfriend, he looked shocked but he supports me. The rest of the guys think I’m crazy.” Amelia laughs.

“Get used to it. Given the fact you know my real name I'm gonna take a wild guess here and assume you know who my father is?”

“Yeah, I do.”

“My father thought having a daughter as a doctor would benefit the family, if you catch my drift, but I didn’t train for years to patch men up long enough for them to torture others. I became a doctor to save innocent people and restore some balance to the world since my family constantly tips the scale.” I can’t explain how much I resonate with her.

“I want to do this because my father drugged me after my accident.” I spent the next forty minutes filling Amelia in on what happened to me and how my father drugged me. She was sympathetic and kind. She offered to send me through some information about nursing schools she knows of that are really great and offer online classes, but I would need to complete the practical parts of the assessments in a hospital.

I flop down on the bed and sigh, I never thought I would find my calling in life. I always thought I was destined to spend my life holed up in my father’s house, alone and always wondering what was missing from my life.

“Kitten, why are you smiling?” I lull my head to the side and smile at my snack of a man. The black shirt he wears clings to him like a second skin, those jeans hug his thick thighs perfectly. “Keep making fuck me eyes and we won’t make it to dinner with Roberto,” he scolds me playfully. I groan and pout but the pout quickly disappears when he crawls up my body and nestles his way between my legs. He rests his elbows on either side of my head and stares down at me with nothing but love in his green eyes. Knox has been working hard to heal from the loss of his sister. He and I share a random memory of Wave each day, this helps us think that she is still with us and eases some of the pain her loss has left inside us. I know Knox has been hurting over Xander’s betrayal, I can’t begin to imagine how he feels.

“Are you still tracking Xander?” I ask. He releases a loud exhale and shakes his head.

“No, he slipped the men I sent after him. He’s gone.” I cup his cheek trying to comfort him.

“I know it hurts but I try to think that our baby is with your sister and she is looking after him or her until we get there.” He smiles sadly and nods.

“One day I may be able to think about it like that but right now, I can’t. Xander knew the truth about what happened that night. He let me hate you for something you didn’t do.” My face softens.

“I’m right here, baby. I’m not going anywhere.” Knox constantly checks in on me daily and if I’m not in my usual spots he panics until he finds me. He’s trying to get over his fear of losing me but I secretly hope he never does. I love that he needs me close always.

“Well, if you didn’t agree to this stupid fucking dinner with Roberto then you wouldn’t be leaving this bed but since you did, you need to get your ass up and change.”

“I don’t want to!” I whine.

An evil glint enters his eyes. “I’ll let you sit on my face before I fuck you tonight.” Heat pools low in my belly and my eyes become hooded. I feel myself growing wet at the thought of his wicked tongue plunging inside my pussy as I?—.

“Can I watch you fuck his face?” Knox leaps off me and I scramble to sit up at the sound of Taylan’s voice.

“Don’t you ever fucking knock?” Knox snarls. Taylan screws his face up and shakes his head.

“I would have knocked but your door was wide open and I was honestly enjoying the show.” Knox takes a single step toward him but Tay takes off laughing. I can't stop the giggle from coming out of me, earning a scowl from Knox.

“You fucking encourage him!”

“I do not! You were the one who let him sit in the corner and watch us fuck the other night.” He opens his mouth and then clamps it shut, Knox knows I like being watched when he fucks me so we have allowed Taylan in a few times to watch and let me tell you, looking into the eyes of another man while you’re being fucked by your boyfriend is so fucking sexy. Try it and thank me later.

“Fine. From now on he isn’t allowed in until he fucking learns boundaries.” I snort.

“Boundaries? I think you need to learn what those are as well since you let him eat my pussy as your cum dripped out of me.” A smug look crosses his face.
