EDEN: Steamy Forbidden Pleasures
Someone tipped them.
Theon's eyes meet mine, wild and alive with the kill-high. 'Safehouse. Now.'
We grab what we can...guns, a duffel of cash and meds...and bolt for the shadows, ditching the SUV for a nondescript sedan hidden nearby. I drive, Theon in the passenger seat, his hand clamped on my thigh, fingers digging into the bullet graze like he's claiming the pain as his.
The safehouse is a dingy apartment on the city's edge...peeling wallpaper, a single bed with stained sheets, and a bathroom that reeks of mildew. But it's secure: barred windows, deadbolts, and enough supplies to hole up for days.
