"Did you have to wear that? I mean you look fucking incredible. Edible even but did you? Since I know another man is going to watch you and possibly even touch- can we leave? Please?"

"Hey," I stop Raze from rambling. It's like we switched personalities. He's doing the rambling and I'm doing the calming "It's not like I'm going to have sex with anyone. I won't kiss him, I won't even tease him that way, you know that right?"

He sighs, "I know but fuck."

"I'm sorry. I would be going insane if you had to do something like this so trust me, I get it. I will only do things that are completely necessary okay? You know I won't do anything else, yeah?"

I understand him wholly. I get it. I would be going crazy. I need to turn this around before he goes insane.

"It could be hot you know?"

"Hot?" He frowns.

"Mm-hmm, how about you punish me, if I go too far?"

Raze smirks, his emerald eyes shining with mischief, "What's too far?"

"You decide."

"Hmm," he hums, his hands on my waist as he tugs me closer. "I can't punish you."

"Why?"

"Baby, if he touches you, I will kill him."

"Raze," I chuckle. "Let's say if he kisses me or tries to anything in that direction, you can step in okay? Three shots."

"So three times and then I can kill him?"

I laugh, "Yes. Three times."

"What if you do it? Then I get to punish you?" He smirks.

"Yeah, but I won't initiate anything. Though, I probably won't pull back either."

He lets out a strangled breath, nodding, "Okay, I can do that."

With that conversation behind us, I assume we're going to step into The Underworld. But we don't.

Instead, Raze tugs me into a dark and shady alley, making my back press against the hard brick stone wall. I see in his eyes that he's worried. He's afraid that I'll fall in love with the guy and run off with him. A truly irrational but understandable fear. But mainly he's afraid that I'll get hurt. He knows I'm not comfortable with all these physical things.

He cups my cheeks, gently brushing his thumbs over my cheekbones. I lean into his touch, kissing both his palms before he leans in to kiss me. It's soft, tender, and everything else I need it to be right now.

"I love you," I tell him as I fling my arms over his shoulder and around his neck, hugging him tightly. "I love you so fucking much. Everything will be okay. Don't worry."
