The Unfortunate Trilogy
I flick my attention to the fireplace, seeking comfort in the glow of dying embers.
"Do you mind the dark?" Kade asks, and a floorboard creaks somewhere. "I can't sleep otherwise."
Darkness has never bothered me. It's what lurks in the dark that raises the hairs on the back of my neck. I'm not scared of Kaden Sario in the light but in the dark? In the dark, anyone can become a monster. The thought quickens my pulse.
"Dark is fine," I murmur, swallowing hard.
Shuffling sounds of crisp fabric, and the gentle thud of discarded shoes, stings my ears. I shift backward, moving away from the sounds on the other side of the bed. I pinch the edges of the blanket and pin it under my chin.
