mother, of course, freaked out when I told her
about it but I got to say goodbye in a way.” Pausing I directed my
gaze to Gee. “Please tell me she isn’t a lost soul. Please tell me
Dank just hadn’t retrieved her soul yet.”
Gee stopped chewing on her thumb
nail and shook her head, “Your grandmother has gone on. Dank
checked on most all of your relatives. The ones you were close to
have moved on. I know for a fact your grandmother’s soul will
return soon.”
I let out a sigh of relief and
wrapped my arms around my waist. It was a nice memory. I’d loved my
grandmother. Upsetting my mother that day hadn’t been something I
remembered fondly but I understood why it upset her now.
“It was Leif that taught me to
ignore the souls.”
Gee rolled her eyes, “Well, let’s
give him a medal of honor for that act of kindness. Since the
reason you can even see souls is because of him.”
She was right of course. Still, the
Leif from my dreams was so similar to the boy I had known this past
year. It was hard to forget that. Nothing about him felt
dangerous.
“Now, I want some of that chocolate
stuff your mom made and I want to watch some more of that show we
watched yesterday. I’m exhausted from taking care of your ass. I
need some down time.”
It had been days since I’d seen
Dank and Gee hadn’t left my side once. I knew this wasn’t her ideal
job and I hated she was growing tired of it. I got up from the
couch and headed for the kitchen, “You want soda or milk with your
brownies?” I asked her.
“Milk. It makes those brownies
taste better.”
The
excitement in her voice caused me to laugh. I cut both of us a
large chunk of brownie and poured two tall glasses of milk. We
could comfort eat and watch Gossip Girl while she
cackled and made fun of everything they did. The crew from the
Upper East Side amused Gee to no end.

I hadn’t seen Pagan in three days.
Stepping into her room, I watched her as she brushed her hair. The
jeans she was wearing were a little too snug for my comfort. I
didn’t handle jealousy well. It would be safer if she wore
something a little less sexy. My eyes traveled up from the tall
black leather boots she wore to the extremely tight fitting jeans
that cupped her ass like a glove. Then the bare skin at the small
of her back flashed at me as she raised her arms to twist the long
dark locks of her hair up into a wild mass of curls on the back of
her head. She was gorgeous and she was mine.
I closed the door behind me and she
spun around startled. A smile instantly lit up her face when her
eyes seemed to drink me in. She ran toward me and threw herself in
my arms so quickly that a regular guy would have dropped her. The
jean encased legs of hers I’d been admiring were firmly wrapped
around my waist and she was raining kisses all over my face. Was it
possible for my heart to swell when I didn’t have one? I tightened
my hold on her waist, “ I missed you too,” I whispered, catching
her busy lips with mine. She didn’t press for more but let me taste
just enough before pulling back and gazing down at me.
“I’m so excited. I’ve missed you
like crazy.”
“It’s going to be hard for me to
concentrate on that stage tonight with you strutting around in
jeans that showcase your incredibly beautiful body. You know that
right?”
Giggling, she wiggled in my arms
and grabbed my face with both her hands and kissed my nose and
forehead.
I immediately took advantage of the
situation and laid her down on the bed. Her eyes went big and round
with surprise as I lowered myself over her and began kissing her
neck and taking small little licks at her collar bone. This was the
kind of kissing we could do safely.
The pleased sigh from Pagan made me
a little crazy. I loved the sexy little sounds she made when we
were together like this. “Mmmmm, kiss my mouth,” she
whispered.
I shook my head knowing a kiss
would end this moment too soon. I wasn’t ready to stop
about it but I got to say goodbye in a way.” Pausing I directed my
gaze to Gee. “Please tell me she isn’t a lost soul. Please tell me
