I swallow, feeling like the lump that was stuck in my throat came straight from my clogged-up heart.
“Milo …” Kai grumbles with his eyes closed.
“Yes?”
“Take your hand off my dick.”
I snort when I see Milo’s hand move sneakily.
“I thought … after you started commandeering me around, you—”
“I know,” Kai responds, his eyes still closed, but brows furrowed. “We’re close. But not that close.”
I bite my lip, laughing a little. “Yet.”
Kai opens his good eye and stares down at me with judgment, and it makes me giggle. “What?”
Even Nathan chuckles.
He sighs out loud. “Good night, my little violent kitty.”
I used to hate that word.
Kitty.
It reminded me of being a weak, helpless little furry pet.
But now, when he says that word, it makes me want to purr.
LANA
Days later
After everythingthat went down inside the Phantom Society building, Nathan decided it would be a good idea to bring Rory back to her aunt, just for safety reasons. I agreed and helped him drive her back. He could’ve done it by himself, but the emotional toll it took on him was too much, so I hugged him tight and drove us back after we dropped her off.
But my first class is starting soon, so I can’t dwell on difficult decisions. Even though I know Ro’s home is a temporary one and we’ll need to find a permanent solution.
I grab my bag off the table and open the front door of the sorority building, but I come to a full stop the second I lay eyes on all three boys standing outside with a wide smile on their faces.
“Um, what’s going on here?” I ask.
“Starting your first class for the day?” Kai asks.
“Yeah …” I reply with furrowed brows. “How’d you know?”
“I keep track of your class schedule,” he says like it’s the most normal thing on earth.
“Hey, Lana!” Milo says with a cheery voice, waving at me from behind both of them.
“Hey, you’re here,” I mutter. “You feeling better yet?”
“Yeah, the stitches don’t hurt as much anymore, and the wound is healing quite nicely,” he replies with a big smile. “So I figured, why not go to school?”
“So what are you all doing here?” I ask.
“We’re taking you to school,” Milo says, running his fingers through his red hair.
Nathan smacks him in the arm. “You were not supposed to say that out loud.”
