quietly around the bed. Her hair bounces across her back, and she smiles at him as she comes closer. The desire he felt for her earlier tonight grows deeper within him and he wants her. After all the mess in Elysium, he needs her close to him.  
    He reaches for her hand and gestures toward the bed, and she takes her cue and climbs in. He bends down and kisses her forehead.  
    “I’ll be right back,” he whispers as he steps back and goes around the bed toward the bathroom.  
    Vivienne snuggles into bed, turning to face the other side, where she expects Mikah to lie down when he returns.  
    While she waits for him, her mind begins to go over everything that has happened in the last twenty-four hours: the shifter in her apartment; learning about who and what Red, Connor, Andrew and Celeste are; the news of her mother’s passing; the new information about Riley. She has no doubt that he is behind her mother’s death, and she wonders how much more destruction he will create in his haste to get to her. And then her confrontation with her mother and the discovery of who her father is.
    What is she supposed to do about Red? Is she capable, after all this time, of embracing that relationship? What will Red think if she doesn’t know what to do?
    “Easy,” she whispers to herself. “You can deal with that tomorrow.”  
    Just then Mikah steps out of the bathroom. He’s wearing the same pants, but he’s shed his shirt. Seeing Mikah standing there shirtless, his inky black hair falling onto his face and those liquid eyes vibrant and blue, has her desire for him growing hot and fast throughout her veins.  
    Vivienne’s beautiful. Her soft cheeks are flushed, and a hint of a smile plays on her lips. Seeing her in his bed brings back the memory of seeing her with his other self in that dream so many weeks ago.
    He’d wanted to stop earlier, unsure of what she was really feeling for him, but seeing her now leaves no doubt in his mind that they are both on the same page, both wanting and needing each other in a way he’s never felt before.  
    But he won’t push it. She needs to come to him when she’s ready.  
    Resolving to be patient, he walks the ten steps to the bed. As he does, she pulls the covers back to receive him. Excitement spreads like wildfire through his veins. Just the idea of sleeping in the same bed as her is enough to send his heart racing.  
    But his mind is running wild with what happened earlier tonight and everything that’s happened between them in just the last few hours. He needs a chance to collect himself and bring his overwhelming need for her under control.
    She watches as he turns to sit down on the edge of the bed. He puts his elbows on his knees and rubs his face. She reaches over and lightly runs her fingers down his back along his wings.  
    He shivers with pleasure at her touch, and he can feel his wings unlocking themselves. Closing his eyes, he hopes to keep them in check. She does it again and he turns toward her.  
    She’s so beautiful, unlike anything he’s ever seen before. He can no longer resist; he climbs into bed facing her.  
    “Hi, beautiful,” he whispers.
    She slides closer to him, brushing his hair out of his eyes. He kisses her palm and she shivers.
    He wraps his arms around her, holding her close, trying to understand her mood, or her need. Having her close to him, knowing that she’s safe in his arms, helps to bring his racing heart back to normal.  
    Relief washes through Vivienne as she settles into his embrace and feels his heartbeat slow. While being with Mikah is what she wants more than anything, she’s too tired.  
    Before they can even consider anything further, exhaustion claims them and they both fall sound asleep.

    “Your plan isn’t working. We have to get out of here before we get caught.”
    “No. We wait for her.”
    “Why, she’s not showing up here. You said it yourself, you never even knew she had a mother until Link told
