Sephie stayed quiet the rest of the evening, but she felt happy. I caught Stepbe away from everyone else while Misha was distracting Sephie. “When you gave everything to your sisters, what did it do to you?” I asked.
“I was crazy tired that next day, but otherwise felt much better. She’ll feel better soon. I’ve known that she feels things intensely for a long time, but knowing it and feeling just how intensely she feels things are two very different things. She’s probably going to need to sleep most of the day tomorrow,” he said.
“What about you? Are you extra tired after doing that again?”
He thought for a moment. “No, actually I feel really good. I think it’s leftover from your f uck you boost,” he said, laughing quietly.
“Good. That also means you’re getting better at handling the extra. It’s a good sign. Likely means you’re going to level up soon.”
He thought for a moment. “I have no idea how my gift would level up. Do I to choose? Can I literally rip the demon out of the person and crush it next time? I’d sign up for that.”
I looked at him, trying not to laugh at where his mind went. “This break from time with him. It’s really increased your creativity. I have contacts at customs
lad has been good for you. I think you were spending a little too much might delay him a little longer.”
Stephen was normally very understated. He would laugh, but he was always gulet about it. It was a rare occasion when we could get him to laugh foudly, especially in a group setting. He laughed so loudly that everyone else stopped talking and looked at him, completely surprised that he’d done
50.
Sephie’s wide smile stretched across her face. I knew she’d fished in my head to find out what made him laugh. For a moment, she looked brighter. I was hopeful after some extra rest she could continue to look brighter.

That night, once we were alone, I asked her about her and Andrei’s method of talking to each other. “Me and Ivan aren’t the only ones you can talk to without actually speaking,” I said, grinning at her.
She cut her eyes over at me. “How did you know?”
“I saw your signal to each other. You’re very discreet. I don’t think anyone else has caught on,” I said. “What did you need to tell him?”
“I asked him to keep an eye on Stephen. I was worried about his confidence. I wasn’t sure how strong Armando’s demon would be and I wasn’t sure if you’d be able to feel if he started to hesitate about his abilities. I was trying to cover all the bases,” she said, climbing into bed while she waited for
me.
I turned off the light and grabbed the remote for the blinds, closing them part way before climbing in beside her. “I don’t know if it will always remain so, but his confidence was definitely not an issue this time. We saw the demon step forward. It grossly underestimated Stephen,” I said. I opened my arms for her to lie across my chest. She sighed and snuggled in as close to me as possible. I knew it wouldn’t take her long to fall asleep. “How are you, solnishko? You’ve been quieter than usual.”
“I’m really tired, but I think I’m okay. Kinda feels like what I would imagine hangover feels like,” she said.
I laughed. “You’ve never had a hangover?” I asked, surprised.
“I’ve never had alcohol,” she said quietly. “I saw the worst of it and the supposed good side of it didn’t seem worth it to me.”
I held her a little tighter. “You’re not missing anything at all. I love you a little more because of it.”
Her soft laugh was the last thing I heard before she quickly fell asleep.
I woke quite late the next morning. Sephie was still in her favorite spot across my chest, sound asleep. She was mumbling quietly, but her fingers were
playing lightly on my chest. She felt like she was still happily steeping. I ran my hands through her hair, which still cwierd her to make bey DANAY cooing noises and snuggle in to me closer.
I watched her sleep for a little longer, then finally decided to get up. It was close to noon, which never happened for me. Maybe I used a little more energy than I thought last night.
“Boss, you two okay? Did you get capped again?” I heard Ivan asking after I had been up for a few minutes.
“Apparently so. She’s still sleeping. Stephen said it made him really tired after he broke his sisters, so he expected Sephte to sleep later today,” I told him. I walked back to the bed to check to see if she was shaking yet and she wasn’t for the first time since her and Ivan were taken, she was sleeping on bet own without shaking. “I think he fixed her shaking problem. I got out of bed a few minutes ago and it hasn’t started yet.”
“That’s impressive. That hasn’t happened since she and I were grobbed. Although Andrel’s going to be really disappointed. I think he looked forward to extra naps.”
“We’ll see if it sticks before we tell him, “I said, laughing. “Has anyone seen Vikrur yet?”
“Yeah, he’s awake now. He and Ilya came upstairs not too long ago. When you tap didn’t wake up, we moved back downstairs. Let us know when the princess wakes up. Viktor wants to see her,” he said.
“Will do. I half expect her to wake up soon just because she can tell he’s awake now.”
I climbed back in bed with her, pulling her back on my chest. She moaned softly and I felt her start to stir. I ran my hand over her scarred back, letting my fingers trace along her scars. She’d told me that her scars were mostly numb because of the extensive damage, but when I traced my fingers along them, she could feel it. She said she liked it when I did it, as it made her back feel more like normal because she could actually feel something
“Good morning,” she said, her voice hoase from sleep. She didn’t pick her head up to look at me. I could feel she was still tired.
