Chapter 70

Dear Diary I failed being a sexy seductress.

My reply? "You want me to get naked right now?"

"We really should check for a hidden device."

It hit me he wasn't asking me to remove my clothes for sexual reasons. How deflating. "I'd rather not."

"We have to know, Kalini." He placed his hands on my hips and gazed down at me. "It will be okay."

No, it wouldn't. Either my parents harmed me and lied some more or he'd realize this was as good as I got. I bit my lip and struggled to not cry.

He hugged me close. "It will be okay. I promise."

There was nothing logical about my decision to trust him. But I did. "Let's do this."

"Actually, let me," he said, putting his hand over mine when it gripped the waistband.

I trembled as he tugged my skirt down. The night air kissed my skin. Legs. The part of my ass not covered by tail.
