“I’m here now. I’ll protect you.”
I wish that I could believe him. I wish I could believe that I’m safe. I wish I could rx and go back to how
things were.
But I can’t. I’m too broken. Too beaten down. Too… ruined. For anything. For anyone. I can’t even manage to
gain my freedom.
I feel like I can’t breathe. I’m terrified. That memory popping up triggered a panic attack. I know this. I used to have them often enough. But I just can’t pull myself out of it. Which means I’m going to pass out.
“Hey, baby, you gotta breathe okay?” CG said as he held me in his arms.
“H-… -I’m… trying…” I wheezed.
“Hey, do you remember that time when we were 10, and we went to visit my grandparents? Annita’s hispanic parents,” he said with a smallugh. “Remember when you idently ate amb taco and freaked out so badly that you threw up? Then you spent the rest of the day apologizing to the neighbor’s sheep. Dad had to drag you back into the house. You refused to go to sleep without me.”
“W–why… are you… bringing that up now?” I asked, starting to breathe a little better.
“Dunno,” he replied with a shrug. “It’s one of my favorite memories. You were so adorable and sweet but with such a fierce side. <i>You </i>felt so guilty over something so stupid. Then you refused, fighting tooth and nail with
all the adults, until you were dragged back inside. Not to mention the way you flipped out when they tried to separate us. You clung <i>to </i><i>me </i>like you’d rather die than let me go, and that was the moment I knew that I was <fn968b> Newest update provided by find?novel</fn968b>
in love with you.”
I pulled my head back to gawk at him.
“You thought you were in love with me at 10 years old?” I asked incredulously. “That’s ridiculous CG. You were
a kid. You couldn’t have known that.”
CG smiled as he reached up to tuck some of my hair behind my ear.
“I did know,” he replied. “Argue with me all you want. I know that I was deeply in love with you. I knew right
then that I wanted you to be mine forever, and 15 yearster, there hasn’t been a day that I haven’t felt that
“W–why are you telling me that?” I asked. “I don’t believe you.”
“One day you will, he said. “But at least you’ve calmed down now”
I paused at that. He was right. I wasn’t panicking anymore.
“Th–then let me go, so I can go to bed,” I mumbled as I pushed away from him.
I was a little surprised that CG actually let me go. I rushed to my bathroom and shut the door. I took my time brushing my teeth and washing my face. They even got me skincare products. Never in my life have I used

skincare products.

I was going to take a shower, but the clothes I had on this morning were gone. As far as I knew, I had nothing. to change into. Unless they had gotten me something.
“Hey CG, do you know if I have anything to wear to bed?” I asked as I walked out of the bathroom.
I stopped in my tracks when I looked up at CG. He was standing near my bed, almostpletely naked. The only thing he had on were his boxer briefs. His back was to me, giving me a perfect view of arge tattoo that
covered his entire back. The club’s logo was right in the middle. All around it were roses, skulls, little ck
demons, all being tied together with smoke and fire. It was gorgeous, and I wish I would have kept my eyes
on it, but I didn’t.
My eyes traveled down to CG’s butt. It was a really nice butt, I won’t lie. His thighs are massive too. I mean, all the guys are massive. No one knows who CG’s parents are, but one of them must have been tall and
well–built. Or maybe they really do take steroids here.
CG was always tall, but he was morenky than the others. He must work out now. A lot. I could tell the moment he turned to face me. The way his abs flexed had drawn me in. When he turned fully around,
disying his bare chest, his bare biceps, and his barely covered crotch… I was captivated.
Wow… he’s so huge. Everywhere. The tattoos only add to his se.xiness. He has a whole chest piece with a tiger and roses. There’s a clown covering his right side, but his left side is bare. Tattoos are spread across his legs, arms, neck, sh.it, every bare inch of him I think. But I was busy staring at the tiger and clown.
“Ahem,” CG cleared his throat, making me jump.
My eyes snapped to his, and he raised his pierced eyebrow at me. He was smirking, and those damn hazel eyes were teasing me. My face was ming, and I was seconds away from locking myself in the bathroom for
the rest of the night.
“Here, CG said, handing me the shirt he was wearing. “There’s nothing else here right now.”
Sighing heavily, I snatched the shirt and ran back into the bathroom. I quickly changed, a little pi.ssed and embarrassed that I still didn’t have underwear. However, I pulled myself together, gave myself a pep talk, and left the bathroom. All to see CG lounging on my bed, under the nkets like he was here to stay.
“Uh, you can leave now,” I said, standing next to him and crossing my arms.
I ain’t going anywhere, Fireball,” he replied as he flipped through the TV.
“But
“No buts, he cut me off. ‘Normally, I’d offer to sleep on the floor with how terrified you are of us, but after that panic attack and you begging me not to <b>send </b>you back to wherever, I’m sticking as close as possible.” Then he looked up at me “Be happy I ain’t pressing you for questions, babe
I grumbled under my breath <b>as </b>I walked around to the other side of the bed and got under the nkets. I rolled away from CG, angry but tired However, he pulled me right to his chest, tucking me to the side of him with my back pressed against him. Then he kissed the top of my head, and shut themp next to him off.
I didn’t fight him. I told myself that it <b>was </b>pointless<b>. </b>He would have made me cuddle with him anyway. It
wasn’t because I feltfortable in CG’s arms<b>. </b>
Not <b>at all</b>.

I woke up the next morning covered in warmth. It was so nice and <i>cozy </i>that I didn’t want <i>to </i>wake up. I don’t think I’ve ever been thisfortable in my life. Not to mention the amazing sleep I gotst night.
Suddenly, an arm slung over my waist and the warmth behind me moved just a little. It had everything from yesterday rushing back to me. My eyes popped open, and it took a minute to adjust, but when I did, I was
surprised to see Karma sleeping on my bed in front of me.
I was lying on my side facing Karma. He was also on his side, facing me. His eyes <i>were </i>closed, and his lips were parted slightly. He looked peaceful. So peaceful, in fact, that it had me calming down instantly. At least he’s still asleep.
“Are you done staring yet?” Karma suddenly whispered.
I stiffened as his emerald–green eyes fluttered open. I felt heat rush to my face as we stared at each other. <b>I </b>
couldn’t move, but Karma looked unbothered. He even pushed some hair out of my face and caressed my
cheek, his thumb tracing my lower lip.
“Good morning,” he whispered in a raspy voice.
“W–w–what are you doing in my-” I tried to ask, but Karma put his hand over my mouth, stopping me.
“Shhh,” he said, smirking at me. “Don’t want to wake CG.”
CG? What does he-
Oh my god. Wait… they’re both in my bed!? I was so shocked that Karma was here and at how peaceful he looked that I didn’t even register the warm body behind me. Or that it was CG’s arm that was wrapped around
my stomach.
My eyes went wide and Karma slowly removed his hand. However, that hand went right to my hip. My hip that
was barely covered because CG’s T–shirt had ridden up in my sleep. I’m very aware of the fact that I have no
panties on too.
Just act normal and he won’t touch you more!
“You embarrassed that you slept in the same bed as both of us?” Karma asked as his fingers started to draw
random patterns against me. With the way my shirt was right now, he was moving between skin that was
covered and skin that was bare. It was messing with my foggy morning brain. “You shouldn’t be, Spark. We
used to sleep in the same bed all the time.”
“When we were kids,” I hissed. “We haven’t done that since we were like 12.”
“You and I still spent most nights together though, didn’t we baby?” he said teasingly.
“Th–that was different,” I grumbled. “We rarely slept and liked to keep each otherpany. Besides, you never stayed in my bed, under the covers, while all I had on was a T–shirt!”
Karma’s fingers suddenly stopped He gave me a strange look before something akin to realization took over his features. A deep smirk yed on his lips and I gulped.
“You tryna tell me that <i>you </i>ain’t got nothin on but CG’s shirt?” he asked as his fingers slowly moved under the hem of my shirt.
I wiggled a little and tried to push his hand away, but <b>it </b>was no use. Karma only had to work his way a little

bit inside my shirt to get his answer. I did my best to re at him anyway.
“Stop it,” I whispered sternly.
“How about a game?” he suggested.
“No-”

“I have some questions for you,” he cut me off. “For every one you answer, I’ll stop, but if <i>you </i>refuse… then I’m
going to keep going.”
Well, I’m fu.cked.
