“Hmm, didn’t you?” Hack asked.
“He’s not scared of spiders,” Duke drawled. “Want to tell us what’s going on?”
“You’re not scared of spiders?” she asked, staring up at him in shock. “You lied to me?”
“It wasn’t a lie-lie. It was a white lie.”
“What? How?” she asked. “And why did you scream in the bathroom if you didn’t see a spider?”
“Oh, I can guess,” Reyes said, giving Hack a wicked grin.
Butch snorted.
“I’m so confused,” she said.
“I’ll explain on the way home.” Hack took her hand. “Let’s go. You need to go to bed.”
“Oh, so no second base?”
“Second base?” Duke drawled.
Hack shot him a look as she grew red. Whoops. There went her mouth again.
“Have you explained to Sav what’s going on?” Duke demanded.
“This all just developed,” Hack said.
“No, I meant about you and his baby sister. He might have some objections, don’t you think?”
“Aidan isn’t the boss of me,” she said hotly.
They all gave her looks of disbelief.
“And I’ll talk to him when he’s back,” she said. “I don’t want to interrupt his holiday.”
She had the feeling he might not take all of this well.

“Let’s get you ready for bed.” He grabbed her ladybug onesie, then placed it on the armchair. “I’m going to go and heat you up a bottle. You get dressed and brush your teeth. Go potty.”
She wished she was brave enough to ask him to help her. She knew that was what he wanted. To completely take control. But she just wasn’t ready to be naked in front of him.
But she wanted to push things. To push herself. To see whether she could do some things without breaking apart.
Maybe tonight isn’t the night, though.
Especially as you’re tired after your panic attack.
She chewed on her thumbnail, worrying about what to do. He was being so quiet. Was he really angry with her about the stalker?
Of course he is. Hack was so protective.
I should have told him.
She should have known he wouldn’t think she was nuts.
