“I still need to,” I tease him, and then sober as I lean over the counter. “Okay, spill before our gorgeous girl comes downstairs. What do I need to know?”

“Orion and I bonded over killing Eric,” Derek says as he bites his lip. “The easiest way to get rid of a body is a pig farm, and he just happens to help out a few local farmers when they have to go out of town. They’re where he disposes of bodies when he needs to. Anyway, we were flirting, and shared the hottest fucking kiss, Ror.”

“Yeah?” I ask, voice husky. His eyes look up at me, pupils already blown from the memory. Fook, that must have been some kiss.

“Yeah,” Derek sighs, his voice breathy. “I jokingly said thank you for the date, and he said thank you for my first kiss.”

“Shit, why is that so hot?” I mutter.

Derek grins, his cheeks heating. “He doesn’t feel attracted to people usually, so Orion’s in new territory,” he explains.

“This helps explain a lot, thank you for sharing,” I say, grabbing the back of his neck and kissing him hard. “Finish your snack and come help me do the dishes?”

“Is that foreplay, Daddy?” Derek teases and my jaw drops. I fooking love when he’s a brat.

“I wasn’t planning on making an example of my brat today, but I can always demand you crawl across the room to suck my cock,” I growl.

“Unfortunately, as hot as that sounds, I need to talk to Lennon with you all,” Greg walks in with a grin.

I’m not at all embarrassed and he’s a damn voyeur, so I grin back at him.

“You all need to wear bells!” Derek yells and Greg snorts.

“Has Lennon come downstairs then?” I ask.

“I heard her coming,” he says.

“Fook, I guess we’re using the dishwasher today,” I say. I like to do them by hand when I have time instead.

“I’ll help,” Derek says, his ears holding his remaining embarrassment and are red.

We start on the dishes, and I wonder how Lenny is going to react to her chat with Greg.

It’s a lot to throw at her.

My shower was a lot of fun with Turner. He kissed me, washed my body, and I was able to feel normal for a little bit.

The guys must have told him that I don’t like water on my face, so he insisted on washing my hair. It’s so thick, I wasn’t about to complain. It’s also one of his favorite things to do.

I should probably deal with the panic I feel when water hits my face at some point. I wonder if that’s why I scratched Derek up in the shower, because I remember my face was wet when I was with him.

Xav really fucked me up, the water boarding is going to follow me for a while. Fighting off a shiver, I finish drying off, walking into the room.

“I’m going to need to go shopping for more clothes for you,” Turner says with a chuckle as he pulls on jeans without underwear.

I check the corner of my mouth for drool as I watch him. Damn, he’s gorgeous. I’m glad my libido is normal. I just wish I knew why I was so unsettled earlier when I was in withdrawals.

Sighing, I wonder if the psychosis due to withdrawal increased my anxiety from my trauma…

Fuck, I’m going to drive myself to distraction if I keep going around and around with what ifs.

“Lavender?” Turner asks, and I blink. He’s already dressed and I definitely spaced out.

“I was thinking too hard,” I explain with a small smile.

He takes a step towards me, curling his hands around my face. “You can think for as long as you need to, as long as you always come back to me, baby girl,” Turner says softly, kissing me gently and determinedly.
