ARIA I told him everything once I was calm enough. By then, I felt safe, and I needed him to know. Caspian leaned back against the headboard, one hand resting on my leg while I sat cross-legged in front of him. I I told him about the call with Stevens. I told him how Stevens had been scared out of his mind every time he'd said Rowan's name. How terrified he had been, as though someone was watching his back and he was scared for his very life. Caspian didn't interrupt me even once. He never does when he knows I have thing to get off my chest. His thumb pressed lightly against my knees every now and then as though to remind me he was right there's beside me. “I don’t understand it,” I admitted. “Yes, Rowan threatened him, but I’ve heard men sound scared before, Caspian. This wasn’t just fear. I think Stevens has been hurt. Either that or he knows there's something worse waiting to happen if he doesn't stop.” Caspian’s jaw tightened. “You don't have to worry, I'll find him.”

CASPIAN“Stevens,” I said evenly, “We need to meet. You can tell me that when we do.”“No. I told you, I can’t.”“You can,” I corrected. “And you will. We’ll make it look natural.

At least this way, we get ahead of it.”“Fuck!” There was a muffled string of curses, then I heard a door slam, a rush of water in the background and he muttered. “Fine.”I exhal

She looked like a bored cat. A gorgeous, bored cat. And I was still hung up on how I would tell her about Xander. He was in hell, and he needed a hand out of it. Nyx’s mouth curved. “Consistency isn’t a flaw.” She lifted her gaze, dark eyes locking on mine. “Unless you’re consistently bad at making decisions.”“Thanks,” I deadpanned, blowing on my coffee. “That’s uplifting.”Nyx took a slow sip of tea, looking out of the window. Her green eyes were like shiny emeralds with the light behind her. “You seem relaxed today,” I said. “I thought you'd be wound up.” “Mm.” She hummed like she hadn’t heard me, but then she tipped her head toward me, casual. “
