SOMETIME LATER…

I n the last few weeks, Morgan has moved in, and our home has become something of a mess. We have books, grimoires, and all sorts of things we have scoured from across the country that relate to the Occult.

I wake up in bed alone, this is a first. Look, the sex between us is incredible, and this might be the first morning neither of us has initiated it.

Putting on some boxers, I leave the bedroom in search of Morgan.

I find her fast asleep at the table with several books open.

She snores softly, and it’s incredibly adorable.

Leaning down, I kiss her forehead and decide to cook breakfast for her.

The smell of frying bacon and eggs must have woken her because I feel her hands around my waist.

“Well, good morning, gorgeous. You were missed,” I tease.

“I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you later,” she whispers seductively in my ear.

God, she knows how to get me worked up.

“Breakfast first.”

When she chuckles at my response, I could just melt right there.

Our relationship has grown stronger, but we both feel there is an empty spot within us.

We both know it’s not having Cai around.

All our search attempts to find him have ended with nothing.

Not knowing his surname made it all the more difficult.

There are only so many times you can type, Cai, white hair and green eyes.

Note to self, get their full name before fucking them.

You never know if you’ll have to find them again.

The rest of the day flew by, and we gave ourselves a break from researching and sat in front of the TV.

Knock knock.

“Expecting anyone?” Morgan asks.

“Nope. They’ll go away soon enough,” I reply as we snuggle up closer.

The knocking is no longer polite; hammering fists frantically slam against the door.

Someone really needs to get our attention.

Reluctantly, I leave my sweetheart on the sofa under a blanket as I head to the door.

Opening it with anger, I find a body falling into my arms. Hair white and so long that it’s the same length as the body.

Turning them round, I see those shockingly green eyes.

“Cai?”

Morgan comes running at the sound of his name.

“What’s going on?” she asks frantically.

“No idea!”

The sounds of snapping bones fill the room as Cai lets out a cry of anguish.

“HELP ME!”

The End
