Ellis sighed. “I think I should go alone.’
“Not happening.”
“I can’t risk you leaving these walls. It’s not safe.”
“Don’t be a douche. I go where you go, and I can handle myself.”
“A douche?” he asked snarkily as he wrapped himself around my hips and pulled me farther into a lying position.
“Uh-huh,” I teased.
“It’s getting dark. We better batten down the hatches and head to bed,” he whispered as his lips grazed mine.
I groaned as he quickly stood up and pulled me with him. As we went around closing curtains, rain began to fall.
“It looks like a storm’s coming,” I said as I pulled the last shade in the living room. A maple tree to our north swayed in the wind and the sky was much darker than usual. I shivered as something unnatural howled in the distance.
