“I told you I would.”

“Any trouble?”

“One male.” I lift a shoulder. “I took care of it.”

Something moves across his face and is gone. He nods once and looks east.

“We need to shift and head over to the town. I booked a rental car. We can find you some supplies. Then we’ll check into our hotel and then go and find those two males we talked about yesterday.”

I nod.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” He frowns again. “You look a little… I don’t know.”

“I’m fine. I’m excited to be back, but also a little afraid.” I bite my lip. “So much has changed…that’s all.”

“I’m pretty sure you’ve changed as well.”

I shrug. “I don’t know. In some ways I feel I have, and in others…” I pull in a deep breath. “Do you think…?” I pull some hair behind my ear. “While we’re here… I mean, I know I can’t approach anyone, but it would be nice if I could see a couple of people from afar. My family…important people to me. I miss them.”

I get this lump in my throat.

“Yeah…sure.” He nods. “It’s been a long time, Star. Don’t get your hopes up. Things change. Scarlet mentioned someone you love…we will need to be careful.”

“I know.” I nod, smiling. “It wouldn’t just be Jett. My parents and my brother too. I know they’re all alive. I checked yesterday.”

Jett still doesn’t have any social media presence. I know he didn’t die; there would be an obituary, but other than that, I am not sure.

“I understand your need to check in. Our main focus is to expose this male…or group, and to get your identification document.”

“I know.” I nod.

“Okay, well…let’s go.”

We shift together, and we fly to Mistveil City. It feels surreal to be back.

Star moans and pushes her plate away. She tilts her head back, her eyes closed. It looks like she’s in heaven.

There’s a smear of sauce at the corner of her mouth. Her tongue darts out and catches it, gliding along her full lip. I almost groan in much the same way she just did.

Jesus.

Fuck!

She has a pretty mouth. It makes me picture things I shouldn’t. Things that might involve her mouth wrapped around my cock.

It’s jarring, and it’s pissing me off.

I look down at my empty plate for a few moments, trying to compose myself.

It doesn’t help.

I only hope she didn’t see my erection earlier. Watching Star coming down those rocks toward me, naked and grinning, all bouncing tits and tight-as-fuck ass…

Holy shit!
