Miles ran a hand down his face. “We all know he’s constantly working and figuring shit out, and that hasn’t changed, but it went wrong. Daisy got stabbed by Daniella.”
“Who saved her?” Tabitha asked.
“I don’t know. It all got a little fuzzy. We had each other’s backs, and then, the next thing I knew, we were heading to the hospital.”
“Did you get them all?” Tabitha asked. “All the Monster Dogs?”
“I don’t know. We got a lot.” Miles took a deep breath and then laughed. “You know, it is the strangest thing.”
“What is?”
“I’ve gone to the quad, and I’ve done all the fighting. I’ve listened to the stories, and I knew this was what I wanted to be,” Miles said. “But ... this was the first time I killed someone.”
He looked toward his sister. They were twins, born less than a minute apart. They didn’t look alike at all, but this was his flesh and blood.
“How are you?” Tabitha asked.
“I don’t know.” He seemed to be saying that a lot. “I’m numb right now. Lash took the patch. He took all of our patches.” He rubbed the back of his head and then took a sip of his drink. “Daisy can’t die. If she does, Anthony is going to destroy this place and anyone who gets in his way.” Miles shook his head. “I watched him and he didn’t care. It was like he had killed before.”
Tabitha didn’t say anything.
“I don’t think I should be surprised, though. When it comes to Daisy, Anthony can’t see straight. Same with Daisy. The two of them were a team.”
“They were?”
“Yeah. It’s so weird, but it’s like they knew each other so well. How they moved, until that last part.” Miles shrugged. “I guess with everything going down, they’ve had a lot of time to get to know each other.”
Chapter Seven
Another Moment in Time
“I don’t want to go,” Daisy said.
Anthony kissed the top of her head. “Then don’t.”
“People are going to start suspecting something is going on.” Daisy looked up at him, tilting her head back.
“Who cares if they do? They haven’t noticed yet.”
She sighed. “True.” She rolled over and snuggled against him, looking up at him. “I love these moments with you.”
They were once again naked after making love, and they were in her bedroom. Whizz and Lacey were at the club with her brother. Sally no longer lived with them. She knew they were hoping to adopt again soon. Sally’s room was empty, and she was not moving back anytime soon; after all, she now lived with Steven.
Her parents were amazing, and she knew there were a lot of kids that needed their love. She was already looking for a new place to live so they could adopt more than one child. She didn’t want anyone to lose their chance of having a good home because she was being selfish. She loved Lace and Whizz. They were her mom and dad, and they never would stop being hers, but it was time for her to let others take her place.
“I’m thinking of renting an apartment,” Daisy said.
“You are?”
“Yeah, I mean, it’s time I did. Don’t you think it would be nice if we didn’t have to sneak around anymore?” she asked.
“I’d like that.”
Daisy smiled. “So, you’re in?”
“Yes, I’m in.”
She pulled away from him and went to her desk, pulling out the local paper she had seen. Turning back to him, she spun to see that Anthony had pushed the blanket off his body, and had one hand wrapped around his thick length.
“I’m trying to talk about something serious here,” she said.
“Oh, trust me, this is serious. There is no way I am going to be able to watch you walk away and not want you.”
She rolled her eyes.
“That is even sexier. My little siren with attitude.”
Daisy burst out laughing. “You’re crazy.”
“I’m crazy for you, now come here,” he said.
She held up the paper.”
“That can wait. You know that wherever you choose I won’t argue. Come here, I need some loving.”
Daisy wanted to argue with him, but what was the point? They only had these fleeting moments together.
Dropping the paper to the floor, she walked over to him, taking her time and hoping she looked sensual rather than stupid.
She stepped right in front of him, and Anthony reached out, grabbing her hips and pulling her close.
Before she could ask him what he was doing, he pressed a kiss to her stomach, then another, and he actually trailed his lips up until he took one of her nipples into his mouth. She let out a moan. Putting her hands on his shoulders, she closed her eyes as he bit down. She cried out, but then he growled against her breast, sliding his tongue over her sore nipple before moving onto the next.
Anthony was always pushing her, driving her higher, making her take more of him. He would hold her at the precipice of pleasure, waiting to push her over the edge, and there were a lot of times she wasn’t sure she would be able to handle it.
