I want to fuck.

I take a breath, my stomach fluttering a little. I’m still feeling unsatisfied from this morning, and my body is craving release, but . . . no, I can’t.

Summer

I’m not stopping you.

Do Not Fuck

Ouch. Out in the cold?

I roll my eyes and shove my phone into my pocket before breaking out in a run and heading home.

Chapter Fifty-Six

Summer

My phone pings again as I enter the house. I yank it free from my pocket, ready to rip Max a new one when I see Unknown flash on the screen. I sigh and open the message.

Unknown

How was the gym, princess?

Summer

Go away.

He immediately starts typing again.

Unknown

We need to train.

Summer

I know. I will see you this evening.

The bubbles bob furiously, and then they stop, and then they start again before his message finally arrives.

Unknown

Something has happened. I need to speak with you.

I bristle.

Summer

Lucky for you, you are seeing me. This evening.

Unknown

Little fae.

He starts typing again, but I quickly cut him off with my own message.

Summer

This evening.
