In a way, I hoped she had already fallen asleep, and she didn’t hear that, but in a way, I hoped she had heard. I wasn’t sure I would ever have the guts to say it out loud, and I didn’t think she would ever expect me to.

I didn’t leave that night, remaining there to still my burning need for holding her a little longer. I had daydreamed about this so many times that I couldn’t accept the thought of not turning it into reality.

However, I did have to leave the next day to get some courses from the Academy. She was still sleeping when I walked out the door.

I’ve only been missing for a couple of hours, but when I returned, the happy ending movie playing in the back of my mind suddenly stopped. She was not well. Actually, so far from it that I realized the road to recovery won’t be just a physical one.

Her beautiful body was completely naked as I entered the room. She was just standing there, hollow staring at the mirror in front of her, and I could guarantee that her mind was well beyond that piece of glass.

‘Mouse..... Mouse!? Mouse, are you ok?’ I’ve picked her up to take her back to bed.

‘Y... Yes. I can get back into bed myself, thank you.’ Her attitude was definitely not missing.

‘You were standing completely naked in the middle of the room. I called you about five times and you didn’t even move a muscle. I think it’s safe to say you couldn’t get into bed yourself.’

I only left for a couple of fucking hours, to find her in a complete mess when I returned.

I couldn’t help but feel responsible. We all had the blame for this. That’s exactly why we had the duty to fix her.

Despite her momentary weakness, Bea still needed answers regarding the mission, and I wasn’t the one who could provide them alone.

The guys and I organized a meeting downstairs, in the living room, to explain to her what exactly had happened back at the Governor’s house and to bring her up to date with the rest of the plan.

Things went on prettydecentconsidering Bea’s visible despise for both Ferris and Brax.

We considered her attitude as being an effect of the aftershock and decided to ignore it for the time being, but I knew Brax all too well and his patience always came in very limited doses. As I said, things weredecentbut no more than that, and since Bea was still pissed off at the world, guess who was the lucky bastard who needed to get her back to her room...

‘Come on, let’s take your ass up the stairs again,’ I leaned in to lift her from the small sofa she was sitting on.

‘When you put it like that, I’m considering sleeping here on the couch.’

Despite her small mutiny her arms opened to wrap around my torso. ‘Grab on tight, Mouse. I know you want to feel those muscles.’

‘Arrogant jerk!’

‘Stubborn prude!’

‘Prude!? I think I’m pretty far away from being a prude.’ She seems surprised at me calling her so.

‘Yeah, right.’ But that’s exactly what she was, the biggest prude I’ve ever known. Bea was absolutely terrified to explore any sexual drives.

‘What’syeah rightsupposed to mean?’

‘Say cock.’ I wanted to hear the word rolling off the tip of her tongue.

‘Excuse me!?’

‘See, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to mean.’ I was right.

She was holding back that dose of madness that I knew hid somewhere inside of her, and that was first on my list to explore — if I ever got a chance.

‘Just because I’m civilized, doesn’t make me a prude.’

‘It’s not because you’re civilized. It’s because you’re fucking Miss Goodie-two-shoes. I bet you never say ass or tits, not even in your thoughts.’

‘I just don’t think talking like that does me any favors.’

Are your fucking kidding me? I think it is time for me to show her what exactly the benefits were.
