And with that we were stepping through a portal into Sybil’s condo.
---
The morning sun shone through the gap in the blinds, waking me from my sleep. We’d moved over to my condo simply because I had the larger bed. It was already late morning, and Sybil and I had slept in. After a day like yesterday, we both needed it.
She yawned and stretched, sliding her body against mine.
I’d never get tired of the feeling of her round ass rubbing against my front. I couldn’t believe I’d wasted so many years waking up alone.
“Good morning, Kitten.” I buried my nose in her hair, breathing her in.
She arched her back, pressing her ass against my morning wood. Oh yeah, this was definitely the right way to wake up. My hands slid down the curve of her waist to her hips, pulling her close to me.
Her ring tone, an eight-bit rendition of The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love”, interrupted us.
Sybil bolted straight up in bed. “Shit! I was supposed to call to let them know you’re okay.” She grabbed her phone and answered it.
“Oh, it’s you. Hey, Gunnar.”
I grunted. What did he want?
“Yeah, we slept in, and I forgot to call. Sorry.” Sybil looked at me and covered her phone. “They called him thinking we were still over at Redrock’s, and Gunnar told them he’d check up on us,” she explained.
“I’m feeling fine. Great, in fact,” I said loud enough for Gunnar to hear through the phone. I would’ve been even greater if he hadn’t interrupted us, but I didn’t say that.
I leaned over Sybil to pick up the half-empty glass of water on the bedside table, trying to listen in on their conversation.
To my surprise, she handed her phone to me. “He wants to talk to you.”
She got out of bed and made her way into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
“Zayn?” The gargoyle’s voice came through the speaker.
“What do you want?”
“Are you alone?”
I lowered my voice. “Yeah, Sybil’s in the bathroom. Why?”
“I thought you might like to see where this Nigel character works.”
That got my attention.
“I think I might.”
“Good. See, the thing is, Avalon comes from a rich ass family, and unfortunately, she’d probably just lose her collection and get a slap on the wrist.”
“Fuck. Does that mean Sybil might be in danger if that bitch tries to retaliate?”
“Not if we send a message first. Future rumor has it that Nigel disappears from his workplace later today and is never seen again, probably because he’s suspected to be running from the EA.” He paused before adding, “Do you catch my drift?”
I nodded, understanding perfectly. I wasn’t the only one who wanted this asshole gone for good and willing to do something about it. “Of course. If I was caught enslaving and selling shifters to private collectors, I’d run too. You’d never see me again.”
“I’m glad we agree. Come by. I’ll get Tansy to distract Sybil for a second, and we can head out.”
We ended the call just as Sybil was stepping out of the bathroom.
“What did he want?” Sybil asked as she searched my room for her clothes.
