My entire body felt like it had been steamrolled. Every muscle aches, and all I wanted was to curl back into the warm comfort of my girlfriend's arms. Snuggling with Laura always made everything better—aches, exhaustion, bad dreams. But the moment I cracked my eyes open, I saw someone sitting on the sofa.
A man.
I blinked blearily. Was I still dreaming? Nope. He stood, eyes cold, and pulled out a knife.
I sat up slowly, suppressing a groan. And then I recognized him. Logan.
I let out a dry chuckle, rubbing a hand over my face. "Logan," I laughed. "I'm naked right now. Can you at least help me put something on before you kill me?"
He laughed—sharp, sarcastic, empty.
Stretching, I let out a yawn and casually flexed my sore arms. "I get it. You hated Blackwell. Fine. You can kill me—just not here, alright? And not while I'm naked. That's just rude."
