“I walked up to the bed, realizing Delano had a book open on his lap. “What are you reading?” Two pink splotches formed in his cheeks. “Um, it’s a book Perry found in the ship cabin you and Cas stayed in, actually.” My eyes went wide as they shot back to what lay in his lap. There was only one book that would’ve been on that ship. That godsdamn journal. “Willa has lived quite the interesting life.” Perry grinned weakly from the bed. “Didn’t know how interesting, though.” “You brought that sex book with you on the ship?” Kieran asked from where he now stood by the window. “I did not bring it with me. Casteel brought it.” “Likely story,” Kieran murmured, eyes glimmering with a hint of amusement.”

“I retrieve Kai’s sword from where I abandoned it on the dock. The metal is scorching hot. I hold it out to him in the way he offered it to me, by the blade, apologetic. He accepts it but doesn’t let go, using it as a rope to pull me closer. “I am proud to call you my match.” Then he kisses me, in front of everyone, rules and decorum be damned. Whatever punishment awaits, we’ll suffer it together. It’ll be worth it.”

“I love money. Money is great. Money is energy. But like any energy, it can turn destructive. You shouldn’t hoard it. Because it corrodes anything it touches for too long.”

“Until next time, Brynn.”
