“Soren?” The call of my name in that familiar, lilting tone sends a spike of ice through my veins and her eyes widen and she tries to shove me out of the shower. I scramble, gripping the wall and shoving her against the cold tiles.

“Please, I’ll do anything!”

“Anything?” She hisses and I nod holding a finger to my lips.

“Soren, dear, are you in here?” Her voice cuts through the steam and the sound of cascading water like a cold draft as we both look in the direction of the door but can’t see through the frosted glass.

Bree’s body tenses against mine; muscles coil, ready for a fight she can’t have. A low growl vibrates from her throat, a primal sound that stirs the beast within me. “She’s at the door!” she hisses and I press closer, my hand clamping over her mouth, feeling the slick heat of her skin. Our hearts race in unison, pounding a frantic rhythm as I crush her against the wall.

“She won’t come in here,” I whisper, more to reassure myself than Bree. The intimacy of our proximity is forgotten in the face of my mother muttering about needing to open windows and let air inside my room. But my mother’s intuition is second only to her tenacity; she’s a force of nature not easily deterred. Especially by a bathroom door.
