It took days to get adjusted back into my role at home. At first, I was angry. No, I was fucking furious. Leo was a prick. I thought of all the ways I could have pleased him. His loss.

After settling in at home, I realized how pointless it would have been to fall in love with someone like that. I was looking for a good time, not a long-term boyfriend. My mother knew something was wrong, and of course, she only could assume that a woman broke my heart. “Whoever she was,” she said, “you don’t need her.”

She was never good at consolation, but I smiled and pretended she was right. “Thanks, mom,” I muttered before closing the door of my room.

Leo held everything back from me. In the beginning, I wanted a little mystery. Of course, as some time progressed, I picked up on some things. Dark things. Painful things that happened to him in the past. Why couldn’t he just open up and tell me the fucking truth?

I soon learned to forget the emotions I was beginning to feel for Leo, but I couldn’t get rid of the thirst or the painful aching feeling that pulsed between my thighs. For days, I sat in my room, edging myself for hours until I was ready to cum.

I dived into my strong desires, quickly becoming a depraved individual without any care for the world around me. At work, I’d start to think about the worst that could happen to me. I’d walk into the men’s bathroom, and wish for the guys to lock the door and have their way.

When that didn’t happen, I would hide in my office, scrolling through Grindr. I tried finding a new alpha to submit to. There was no one that compared, and I quickly deleted the app.

My heat had finally taken precedence over myself. There was no reasoning with the emotions it gave me. I craved one thing only: the biggest cock in the world. And I wanted it to knot inside of me, to push it to the absolute limits of reason. I wanted a true alpha to use me and impregnate me.

I couldn’t exactly tell anyone that I was in heat. I took my heat-masking pills as much as I could. They seemed to work, but not well enough. Alphas soon took notice of me, but none of them were Leo. None of them were the beast.

After work, I did my best to act normal around my mother. She was going through another episode—panic attacks every hour, threats of self-harm. The usual. A cheap ploy to keep me on my toes and busy.

Somehow, those episodes didn’t bother me. If anything, they kept my mind occupied. But once she was calm and ready to go to bed, I’d succumb to my own feelings again. On the weekend with nothing to do, that was a terrifying problem.

The yearning, tender desire kicked in around midnight, always without fail. It was the most intense feeling in the world. I closed my eyes, forehead turning clammy. Would I be forced to give into my desires? Was I strong enough to get through this?

I tried every trick in the book, short of pouring ice-cold water over my head. Nothing worked. I paced around the room, taking in deep breaths. I caught a glance of my mesh shirt, strewn across the floor. I thought of Leo. There wasn’t a cock in the world that could compare to his, and his alpha stature was exactly how I pictured my man to look.

I had to make a choice: go to bed or do something rash.

In the heat of the moment, I made a choice. I grabbed my keys and hurried out of the room, out of the house, and into my tinted car. Tonight, I thought, I wouldn’t hide. The first alpha in the knot of men that stepped forward and gave me what I yearned for would be the first to get me pregnant.

I laughed as I pulled into the parking lot of Leather and Lace, but in a way, I felt like I was letting myself down again. People developed sexual norms for a reason. This reason. So that omegas didn’t go crazy and make rash decisions that could change their lives forever.

But there were people like me everywhere—people who wanted to break down these societal structures, despite the danger. I was who I was, and I couldn’t change that. I fucked up with Leo, but I was going to make up for it by spending eight hours in the most fucked up sex club this conservative state could offer.

This time, I wasn’t scared. I was determined. I stepped out of my car and walked toward the door. I paid the entrance fee and walked to the bar. “Four shots of gin,” I said to a slender bottom working the bar. His name tag read “Hank.”

“Four? How about we pace ourselves and start with two,” he said.

“I said four.”

I stared him in the eyes until he felt obligated to pour me the four shots. “Okay,” he muttered. “Four it is.”

One by one, I kicked back the gin. Within a few seconds, I drank three of the four shots. I sat at the bar, eyeing every alpha that walked in, but no one was hitting that sweet spot. Even with the fog creating the atmosphere of sexual depravity, I didn’t feel the urge to walk into the maze. Not yet, but soon the alcohol would course through my veins and push me toward the strongest alpha in the building.

Hank poured a shot for himself and set it down in front of mine. “What’s this for?” I asked him.

“This place is losing its steam. Night after night, the same guys come in. It’s nice to have some new blood in here,” he said.

“From what I hear, this is the place to end up at,” I said.

“Used to be. Now, there’s Grindr. There’s no reason to travel to a run down area like this just to get your dick sucked. Nah, the only people that come here are complete perverts,” he said.

Complete perverts. Like me. I nodded and stared Hank in the eyes. I knew what he was insinuating, and he was absolutely right.

“Tell me, guy. Are you a little pervert?” he finally asked.

I felt my throat tighten and my body instantly turned hot. I nodded and tried not to smile. Both of us drank the shots, and I let myself fall into my twisted fantasy. “I’m a cute little pervert, waiting to get fucked by all sorts of men,” I said.

Hank took a step back, laughing to himself. “Oh, my. You’re in heat, aren’t you?” he asked. I didn’t dare respond. “That’s against the club rules.”

I cleared my throat and looked to the dark maze without as much as turning my head. “So what? It’s a free country,” I said. “Are you going to tell on me, Hank?”

“I’m no cop, guy,” Hank said. “Your fantasy is one thing only: yours. Make the most of it, sexy.”

As soon as the words fizzled out of Hank’s mouth, I felt the alcohol kick in. I licked my lips and coughed awkwardly, eyeing the dark labyrinth that every guy robotically disappeared into. It was time to give in to my darkest thoughts and ideas.

I walked inside, following the rest of the men in the building. There were alphas in my peripheral, sniffing the air, clenching their teeth, some even jerking off in the dark corners, mouths open with severe pleasure.

A group of men stared my way. They were huddled in one of the bigger cubbies, fucking a power bottom that was sitting in a leather sling. One of the alphas turned my way and said, “That’s right, slut. You want your hole opened by us?”

“Go ahead. Fuck me,” I said.

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them. There was a big part of me that was enthralled by the idea of being taken by as many alphas as I could or couldn’t handle. Yet, somehow, the alcohol had tamed my heat enough for me to question everything. Where was Leo, my devoted alpha? Why the hell did I come here?

I felt timid and weak. I was suddenly full of fear. Of course, that didn’t stop these guys. It only furthered their hunger.

The biggest alpha of the group stepped forward and grabbed my arm. I felt my adrenaline kick in on the spot, and I forced my bicep out of his grip. The alpha grinned before pushing me against the wall.

“Wait,” I said, putting my arms up. They didn’t wait. They moved forward with smiles on their hardened faces.

“Come on,” he whispered, pushing his head toward mine. “Don’t be such a tease. I know what you want. I see it in your eyes. I smell it. You’re in heat, slut.”

His tongue slithered out like a snake in an open wound. His face suddenly looked old and harsh, and I realized how much of a mistake it was to come here. Everyone was staring at me with the same glazed smile, and none of these men could control themselves.

I pushed him back. “You don’t know what I want at all,” I said.

But the group pushed me into the room, and into the sling. “Open your legs,” he said, teeth clenched. All of the energy I could muster sprung into my body, but it didn’t matter. There was too many of them.

I tried to scream, but I felt a writhing set of heavy hands push against my mouth. I tried to kick away, but another set of hands clasped like shackles.

“Back the fuck off,” a voice whispered, low, deep, and familiar. “He’s been claimed.”

Leo.

He stood in the center of the room, turning to get a good look at each of the men around me. Without saying a word, the alphas cleared out of the room, huffing the air around us loudly. They shut the metal prison-like door behind them. Then, it was just us. Awkwardly us.

“I haven’t been claimed,” I said. “I’m not yours.”

He didn’t know what to say, but I saw the guilt resonate in the movements of his face. His strong and protecting body towered over me. I didn’t know what I wanted anymore. I felt lost.

“You shouldn’t have come here again,” Leo said.

“You’re just jealous,” I muttered. It was a stupid thing to say, but it just came out.

“Your heat. It’s too fucking strong. The pills might work for an hour, but you’re in full-blown fertility mode, Hayden,” he said.

I shrugged and stood onto my feet. “So what?” I pushed him against the wall, and even though he was sturdy, he let his back hit the metal bars.

“Maybe I want the risk,” I said. “Maybe I want to do whatever the fuck I want.”

“You want to get pregnant?” he asked. “You want to have a fucking baby? Like this?”

I frowned as his words hit home. I had let my heat influence my judgment in a way that made me sick to my stomach. As I stared at Leo, I couldn’t find the courage to answer him. All I could do was close my eyes.

My hand reached around his waist, gripping his tight muscular skin. I pushed that same hand up his chest, crawling over his nipple.

“The other day… I forgot to take my pills,” Leo said. “It’s no excuse. I should have never kicked you out that day.”

“What?” I opened my eyes to see a man who was now ready to admit his wrongs.

“You want to know why they call me a beast?” he asked. I didn’t respond. “Because I’m manic. I’m a liability, Hayden. The only way I used to get through the day was by doing what you’re doing tonight. I’d come here and punish myself. I’d let every guy in the city have a turn. But at the end of the night, I’d go home. Alone.”

“You’re right. That’s no excuse to be a dickhead,” I said.

“I know. I’m… I’m working on myself,” he said.

“Maybe the first step is to be honest with the guy you’re fucking,” I said. “Maybe all you needed to do was tell me.”

“Tell you what? That I’m insane? That, if I don’t take my pills for one day, I start to lose myself?” Leo’s face turned sour.

“You’re not insane, you idiot. You have problems, just like everybody else,” I said.

“I was supposed to take care of you, and within one week, I fucked it all up,” Leo said, pushing his chest against mine.

“Shut the hell up,” I said. “I can take care of myself.”

I pushed Leo back, daring him with my eyes. He put his hand on my clavicle. He moved his hand up my neck, up until he reached my lips. “Open your fucking mouth,” he commanded. “For daddy, kitten.”

We both closed our eyes. Our lips crashed together, and our tongues connected, curling and twisting slowly. This was the kiss to bring us together, the one display of passion that could help us forget the shitty argument we had last week.

He tasted like cognac and sugar. He smelled like French cologne and firewood on a summer day, the kind of smell that brought you back into childhood memories of the south. I opened my eyes and slid my tongue against his before releasing. I felt… excited.

“You can trust me,” Leo said. “But I am who I am. I can understand if you can’t love somebody like me.”

“We take it one day at a time,” I said.

I started to back up until I felt my ass hit the hard leather sling. The sound of the chains echoed off of the metal doors and concrete walls. I sat down and comfortably rested my feet against the holsters in front of me. My hole was practically on display now, and I felt ready to give myself over to him. My alpha. The beast himself.

“Fuck,” Leo whispered.

Leo stared down at my shaved hole with the face that told me he couldn’t control himself any longer. “Your scent,” he whispered. “It’s so fucking strong right now.”

“I want to feel your knot,” I whispered. I clicked the tongue against the roof of my mouth and leaned back to display more of my body. “Daddy…”

He took one step forward but hesitated on the heel of his left foot. He let out a grunt, coming from the center of his muscular abdomen, and waited for me to keep talking.

My tongue ran around the edges of my upper lip before my front teeth clenched down against the thick pink flesh. “Please? Please knot inside of me. I want to feel as close as I can to you,” I said.

I focused on my breathing for the first time, remembering what Leo told me to do. As the warm caress of his hands pulled against my thighs, I understood what it meant to give yourself to someone. Leo fell to his knees and suddenly looked earnest but severe.

Leo looked down at my slim body and asked, “Are you sure that this is what you want?”

But he didn’t waste time kissing against the back of my thighs where a thick layer goosebumps started to rise. Leo dragged his teeth against my skin and paused, glaring up at me again.

“I’m sure,” I said. “I came here two weeks ago to find you, and I did just that. I can’t go back now.”

“You went back before,” Leo said. “What makes you so sure this will last this time?”

“That was a mistake,” I said. “I want you. Doesn’t that make daddy pleased?”

Leo gulped. Just do it. Use me. “Fucking eat me,” I said, pushing his head forward. “Eat me like you mean it.”

For the first few moments, I watched as Leo’s tongue lowered hungrily out of his mouth like a bee gathering nectar for his hive. He licked my tight hole timidly at first, but slowly, he lapped me like a dog in fucking heat.

“Oh, god,” I moaned.

I felt the cold leather sling press against my naked flesh. I had been dreaming of this moment since I hit puberty, and while I had my ankles propped into the air, my mouth dropped to my chest.

The warm slide of affection pulsed upward, covering my taint. Leo’s lips opened before gently clasping around my balls. He sucked on them one by one, as if each were a gift for him.

“Am I your slut?” I asked him.

He grinned and dragged his tongue up my shaft. “You’re my everything, kitten. My cute slut, my devoted omega, my submissive forever. From here on out, it’s us. You know that, right?”

As he clasped his masculine lips around my cock, pulling the tight skin downward, I let go of my inhibitions and pushed my hips upward. Down my cock went, disappearing into the back of his throat. I had never felt something so incredible before.

My heat only grew in intensity. Leo could feel it. No, he could smell it on me: Fertility. Love. Devotion. All of those things came through in the rich aroma of an omega’s heat. It was like fucking candy for an alpha.

Leo’s hands were experienced. They were rough. His touch was daddy’s touch, the only touch I yearned for.

He rolled his mouth forward one time before I felt his fingers press against my rim. I closed my eyes and moaned loudly. I lurched my head backward and let out a heavy tone of pleasure, once more, so that my man knew just how much he pleased me.

Leo poured a packet of lube around my hole. “I’m going to tease you open,” Leo said. He tossed it behind him carelessly.

“Yeah?” I asked, biting my tongue. I was a little bit scared, a little bit excited, and a little bit obsessed with the idea that this was finally happening. “Just go slow,” I whispered. He seemed to ignore that last part.

“By the time the night is over, I’m going to be an easy fit, kitten. Does that make you happy?” he asked.

My lips suddenly curled against Leo’s. Leo moved his palm against my cheek. His thumb felt the softness of my skin, and he took in every second of anticipatory pleasure it gave him. I pulled away, sex shrouding my eyes.

“It makes me so very happy, daddy. You know how much I love to please you,” I said.

He kissed me passionately and nibbled against my lower lip, pulling back with a severe look on his face. We made out for minutes, and he brought his body closer to me. “You’re so good to daddy,” he moaned.

As he pulled down his tight leather pants, I saw the size of his girth, and I felt a pang of fear hit the center of my throat. “Don’t worry,” Leo whispered. “You’ll get used to it.”

Get used to it? How in the world was that even possible? Leo laughed and brought himself closer. He kissed the back of my thigh, licking downward. His thumb pressed lightly against my rim, forcing me to let out a soft moan. “You’re so tight,” he cooed. “I know that makes you worried, but I’m going to ease into you, kitten. It won’t ever hurt with me. I know what I’m doing.”

I just had to trust him, which was, admittedly, still hard to do. “Okay,” I whispered. “Just keep kissing me and calling me kitten, and we’ll be fine.”

“I love kissing you,” he said.

His index finger pressed against my hole. I felt the pressure begin to rise inside of me, not at all soothing but not painful either. He placed his other hand over my mouth and whispered, “Just breathe.”

I tried to focus. I looked down and saw his monster of a cock. The only thing I thought to do was take it into my hands so I could focus on something else. As soon as I felt Leo’s firm and warm cock, I started to relax. I immediately felt the urge to suck him.

“You want it, don’t you?” Leo slid in his finger as I nodded my head. My jaw dropped open, hanging against my chin. The pressure shifted to intense pleasure.

“There we go.” Daddy was only satisfied when I was satisfied. And I finally felt satisfied.

I watched every movement he made, falling back into my own fantasies, irreversibly fulfilled. I wasn’t nervous any longer. Leo, the beast, wasn’t tamed, but he was one of the good men. He wasn’t like the other alphas in the scene, who were apparently only satisfied with making another omega suffer. He wanted to please me.

Two fingers inside of me seemed to do the trick. Then, three. After enough kissing, he barely fit in a fourth finger. “I’ve got my whole fucking hand in you, kitten,” he said, delightedly.

“Don’t joke around,” I moaned, careful enough to focus on my breathing.

Leo funneled his hand halfway out. I opened my eyes and looked down. My cock was pointing like a cannon toward my face, leaking precum onto the top of my abdomen. His hand was dripping in lube, channeling into my ripe hole.

“Oh, Leo! Jesus, it feels so fucking good!” I grunted. The pleasure quickly jerked into my core within a quick moment, and it wasn’t long before I was on the verge of losing it.

Leo grinned and slid his hand gently from my ass. He spanked me hard and took a step back. If my cock was a cannon, his cock was a fucking nuclear warhead, pointed straight toward my open hole.

Leo purred like a jaguar ready to pounce on his prey. “Now, you’re ready for me.”

In this room, covered only by thin metal bars, I was Leo’s favorite pet and submissive. I was my daddy’s kitten, and I felt a layer of pride raise my confidence.

“I’m ready for you, daddy,” I whispered. Then, with more passion in my voice, I said, “Fuck my fresh hole. Knot inside of me.”

He reached inside his pants and pulled out two handcuffs, grinning like a kid in a toy store. Quickly, he cuffed me to the sling. “You’re not going anywhere until I’m finished,” he said.

This was my biggest fantasy, and he knew it because we talked about it. Cuffs and leashes… anything to make me feel tied down and helpless. That’s what turned me on the most.

“Remember the safe word,” he said.

“Boob.” I smiled, feeling myself loosen up more, but Leo frowned.

“It’s a terrible safe word, but I guess it works,” he said.

“I won’t be saying any safe word,” I said. “Because when I’m with you, daddy, I know you’ll treat me right.”

He kissed my clavicle before licking up my neck with the edge of his tongue. “Yes,” I moaned.

I kept my eyes open just enough to see him push his hips back into the air with power. I closed them just as he thrust forward. He was huge, and the pressure was definitely there, but he had lubed me up and played with me enough that I quickly molded to him.

I pushed my hips forward and felt the all-consuming pleasure rise. There was no way I could hold myself back now. I was a sex fiend, on the verge of blowing my load, straight onto my chest and mouth.

“I’m so close,” I said.

Leo squeezed my legs together and plowed inside of me with the might of a seasoned warrior. I was his, and this was just the beginning of our intense life together. Lord, save me now.

I love you, I thought, but it was too soon to say those words. The way he made me feel was unlike anyone in the past had. I trusted him already, and all I wanted to do was feel closer to him.

“I want to come out of the sling,” I said, panting. “I want to stand against the pole I’m cuffed to. I want you to cum inside of me like that.”

Leo slid his cock from my ass. “I’m ready to knot, kitten,” he whispered. “And right now, that sounds hot as fuck.”

Leo slid the cuffs up the pole and carefully picked me up into his arms. He kissed my lips before gently setting me down on the damp concrete. “You taste so sweet,” he said.

“You taste like bourbon,” I whispered, taking his tongue into my mouth once more.

“Get up against the fucking wall, slut,” he commanded with a sharp smile.

I played my part and pushed my elbows against the prison bars. I could visibly see the dark maze, full of strange men. Some were staring inside, jerking off while watching us. Others were having their own good time unbeknownst to us.

“Hurry, daddy,” I moaned. One of the men outside of our room blew his hot load onto an omega’s tongue. I loved how turned on we made these guys. “I need you inside of me,” I droned.

Love like ours was a dime a dozen. No, it was a pretty penny, rare as something can be these days. Leo pushed my legs open with force and spanked my ass three times until he looked satisfied.

“You’re fucking incredible,” he moaned. “I lov—”

I felt my heart skip a beat, and my blood turned cold with shock. He stopped himself from finishing his sentence, but I knew what he was going to say.

“What?” I asked him, cocking my head back with a look of desire.

“Nothing,” he whispered. “I just coughed.”

He gripped my waist and positioned me the way he wanted to, presenting me with one lasting smack on the ass as if that would make me forget what he had just told me so confidently.

He loved me. I heard him say it. There was no taking that back, right? And now that he had said those three magic words, I wanted him as deep inside of me as I could go.

He spread my cheeks apart and grunted. His arms clasped around my stomach, sending chills throughout my body. “Look at everyone,” he said as he buried himself into me, pumping deep, his cock dripping with lube. “They’re just watching us. They just can’t get enough, can they?”

His cock furrowed deeper, hips jerking forward with incredible valor. One powerful thrust. Two. Three. I was fucking done for.

I followed his movements, always willing to obey. Even when his hand came around my neck, tightly gripping, I knew I was safe. He would never hurt me.

I begged for his precious seed. ”Give it to me!” I screamed.

The men outside our room fixed their gaze on us. Hungry eyes that had no direction left. Wandering hands that cruised different guys of all shapes and sizes. They wanted in, but they would never have a piece of us. All they would be allowed to taste was the salty residue we left behind.

Leo let out an incredible growl of cracked passion. I pushed my ass back against him until I could feel his heavy balls smack against my taint. “Cum, daddy,” I moaned. “Cum for your sweet and innocent submissive.”

“Ahh… I’m about to blow inside of you,” he warned.

“Knot.” A command from the submissive. “Knot and don’t you dare think twice about it.”

“Are you sure?” A question from the dom.

“I said, don’t think twice about it,” I moaned.

There was no reasoning left. The fantasy had taken over the reality. I didn’t want to think anymore. It was time to feel.

His cock contracted inside of my ass. Up and down, it bobbed, head expanding. Leo lurched forward and kissed the side of my neck, biting down as he lost himself.

The warm flood of heavy cum shot inside me, trapped by the condom. I imagined it spreading throughout me. It was a completely different feeling of closeness than I was used to feeling, but I wished he had ripped the condom off and filled me for real.

Leo’s body shook. He let out a grunt and pumped his hips forward in defiance one last time. He sunk against me and moaned, trembling before his knot expanded.

The hungry eyes came closer to our room. They watched and moaned, knowing what was going to happen next. Leo whispered, “Here it comes, omega.”

No one told me how fucking perfect a strong knotting would feel, but once I felt his cock expand, reaching for my omega spot, I lost control of myself. Luckily, condoms these days were knot-proof. It wouldn’t break.

Leo held me close to his body. I fell against him and panted, writhing my head left and right. All of my best memories shined in front of me as his knot clasped against my omegahood.

“Look,” Leo said, twisting my head with his rugged hands. “Look into my eyes, Hayden.”

I struggled to open them. I felt paralyzed, like I had no control left. Was it going to feel like this forever? “I can’t,” I whispered. “I can’t do anything. It feels too fucking good.”

“Breathe. Focus on the air hitting the top of your palette. Remember what I taught you, kitten,” he said.

I felt my cock start to vibrate uncontrollably. Leo’s hand moved over my shaft. “Breathe,” he said. “Feel it.”

A beautiful warmth slowly spread inside my body. I felt entranced. No, I was obsessed. Leo changed my life. He was my man. Fuck, I felt so excited to be in his arms again.

“It feels so fucking good,” I moaned. Leo kissed the edges of my ear.

I focused my whole body and clenched my jaw, staring until the room disappeared. I found my pleasure center, but I felt like I was walking on shaky ground.

Leo read my mind. “I’ve got you,” Leo said. “Don’t worry, kitten. I’ll always lift you up.”

An overwhelming pressure rose inside of me. My eyes shot open. “Fuck!” I roared. “I’m cumming, daddy! I’m cumming!”

I opened my eyes to a hundred glaring faces, horny as could be. Leo had his hand around my cock, and he was doing things I never dreamed of before. I looked down. There was a hole in the wall.

“Do it,” Leo said.

I felt my cum build up inside of my balls. I rocked my hips forward and put my cock into the hole. I felt my orgasm rock me at my core. “Now, cum, kitten.”

“Fuck!”

My cum shot in streams outside of the room and into the hands of the hungry men around us. “Yes!” Leo yelled.

I fell back in a haze, smiling and giving into him. Leo held my chin and kissed me. “You’re so fucking hot,” he said.

In the small and dingy black room, we felt our orgasms dissolve. He held me in his arms, kissing all over my tender body. Once the realization of where we were kicked in, we both started laughing.

“Let’s get the hell out of this place,” Leo said. “I want you to sleep in my warm bed tonight.”

“I’d love that more than anything, daddy,” I said, arms wrapped around his neck.

“Good.” We got dressed and awkwardly walked through the maze, moving toward the bar.

“See ya, Hank,” Leo said. I waved too.

“You know him?” I asked.

“He owns this place now. Guy practically started the whole scene,” Leo said. “He still can’t hold a man down. I think he’ll find someone someday, though.”

“I hope he does,” I said. “It’s nice to find someone.”

I felt so happy while holding his hand that I nearly jumped for joy. But when we stepped out of the club, we came face to face with reality. Patrick. He was standing near the doorway, and it looked like he had been waiting for us.

“Come on,” Leo said, pulling me toward our cars.

“Where are you running off to?” Patrick shouted. His high-pitched laughter bubbled across the parking lot. It sent chills down my spine.

“Leo, why is he here?” I asked him.

Leo stayed silent all of the way to the car. “Answer me, Leo.”

“Answer him, Leo!” Patrick laughed once more before opening the front doors and stumbling inside.

I turned Leo around to face me. “What’s the deal with you guys?” I asked.

“I’ll tell you in the morning,” he said. “I’ll tell you everything.”
