LOGINI stepped forward, taking the ring off and holding it up for photographs. The mark of the Goddess' Benevolence on my hand. And I looked at Neil, who looked hesitant. His eyes seemed so young and gentle then. He took off his own illusion and revealed the mark on his hand. The gasp that filled the hal
The day of the gala, my stomach was a mess of excitement and nerves. Neil, Dominic, and I had spent days alone in my condo. And while we still hadn't gotten past. Feeling each other up over clothing, I was pretty satisfied. They seemed happy as well. Arielle, grandpa, and I arrived together in one o
“Depressing things later. Food now. How about steaks?"That earned a startled laugh out of Dominic."Steaks… sound great."Neil moved like a man on a mission in my kitchen. Within minutes, the apartment smelled like toasted bread, cooking meat, potatoes, and something herby that I couldn’t quite nam

DominicI yawned, surprised by how tired I felt despite having napped on the ride and slept well the night before. I left my office, heading to my room. My suitcase still smelled of the sea air. It was clinging to my skin, too.I pulled my clothes from the night before out and caught the faintest sc
