Meeting Nyx’s half–smirking gaze, Lancet felt a weird pang of unease. He’d been in the game for years, but this was his first time dealing with something like this.

Seafarion was in his thirties, never had a woman around–some even whispered he might be crippled down there too, not just in his legs. Even Lancet, his right–hand guy, had half–believed the rumors.

When he got the call from Seafarion bright and early, he thought he’d misheard–or was still dreaming, Rushing over half- doubting, he found Seafarion holed up in the study, looking wrecked, with blatant kiss marks all over his face and neck.

“I took advantage of her while she wasn’t herself–it’s my fault,” Seafarion had said, head down, drowning in guilt. “When she wakes up, handle it for me. Ask what she wants–I’ll do what I can to make it right.”
