Knocking on his door I wait and hear footsteps and soon the door opens. He stands with a grin on his face, proof of how much I surrender at his feet.

"Come in." He moves to the side and lets me in. "What changed your mind?" He asks, I turn to see him leaning against the door hands crossed. "I was bored," I say calmly and truthfully.

"Well, are you going to just stand there or?" He strides over at my question. He stops just in front of me and eyes me. He brings his face down to mine closing the distance between us.

Just before his lips reach mine I move my head back. "Ah! Not just yet pretty boy. There are questions that I need to be answered!" I remind him.

"Adria, all the questions you want to be answered, I can't answer and you know it." Kace sighs.

"Pavel, where is he?"

"Honestly, aren't you tired of asking me about him? Love, I'm starting to get worried about you. I mean I'm starting to think that he's on your mind all day."

"We had him and now poof he's disappeared. You're the only person in Langley that can help him disappear. Where is he?" I question.

"This Cat and mouse game is starting to piss me off." He rubs the bridge of his nose in disappointment. "I'm going to sleep I have an early flight tomorrow. You can leave or stay. We could just sleep. I sleep better with you in my arms."

He walks past me but I hold his hand, "It's the anniversary of my parent's death tomorrow. It'll be sixteen years since I'd done anything impactful to avenge them. I can't look myself in the mirror because I'm ashamed. Please I just want Pavel to pay for what he did."

"By your hand? You want him to pay by your hand?"

"Yes! Because I was hurt by his hand, why can't I just return the favor?"

He turned his back and huffed. I walk towards him close to his back but just enough for him to hear. "I've had PTSD for fifteen years, it hurts to be alive Kace. I've thought of ending my life before." With that, he turned his back fast and looks me in the eye.

"I didn't know....."

"I can only sleep soundly if I'm with you, in your arms. Where I know I am safe. Kace I want us, but some things stop us from working out."

".....like Pavel....." he whispered, his head dropped at the realization. He grabbed my palm and kissed it softly, the movement touched me and calmed me down.

"I promise that he will never come after you. I will protect you with my life." He looked me in the eye and promised. Tears filled my eyes, my heart was touched.

"I want to believe that, but how? I've done things that can guarantee my death."

"Let me take care of that." He assured and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes and just stayed like that. Tears fell freely on my face. Kace rubbed my back sending calming waves throughout my shaking body.

"I want you," I beg.

"A-" I cut him off, slamming my lips on his.

His lips did not come in sync with mine which brought an ache to my heart.

"You're going to regret it tomorrow." He warned at my actions.

"I don't just want one night, I want you, I want us... I want to try again Kace. With a clean slate. I want to sleep again." I confessed. It didn't take long for him to have his inviting lips on my own.
