Anger Issues

Saying there were rules was an understatement.

Basically if I wanted to anywhere around Keefe, either Grady or Edaline how to be there. If one of us was alone, the other had to be with one of them so that we weren't alone. How can we live together and not run into each other one on one?

Edaline promised me he would be more relaxed after he cooled down about the whole running away thing, but made sure to emphasize the fact that he will always be weary about a boyfriend I had.

"You have 10 minutes until I put those rules into play, so figure out what you need." Grady said and hesitantly walked out of the room behind Edaline, Sandor followed as well.

As soon as the door was shut, I got into the bed with Keefe, my bed. Keefe was going to be staying on the second floor because my room took up almost all of my floor.

"Are you okay?" I asked, trying to be gentle as I wrapped an arm around his bandaged waist and laid my head on his shoulder.

"I'm okay now that I get to be here with you." He said and rubbed my arm.

"So how are we supposed to do this? No hugging, no kissing?" He asked and I let out a breath.

"For a while, maybe, but then he will be less harsh about it. But there will be times when we have to be alone here and I doubt Sandor will tell." I said and Keefe chuckled.

"You scheme as well as I do." He said.

I sat up and kissed him quickly, then got off of the bed.

"That's all I get?" He asked and my cheeks turned red. I sat down on the side of the bed and leaned down to put my face in front of his.

Elwin had told him not to sit up for a few hours until the sedatives wore off.

"You have to kiss me Foster, I can't do it for you this time." He said and lifted his hand to play with my hair that was dangling over him.

I smiled and tried to hide my full body blush as I placed when I placed either arm on the sides of his head.

I saw his cheeks flush and he let out a small breathy chuckle.

"What?" I asked, half joking, half thinking I was doing something wrong.

"Why are you so nervous?" He asked.

Empaths.

"Gee, I wonder." I said and tried to laugh but it came out more like a squeak.

I started to say something else but he took the little mobility he had to lift his head up and close the gap between us.

One of his arms went around my waist and the other hand went on the back of my head. He pulled me down closer to him and laid back flat without breaking the kiss.

It wasn't a kiss with much movement, just one to let each other know that we were here, and we weren't going anywhere.

After a few seconds I pulled away a little and looked into his Icy blue eyes, his very smug icy blue eyes.

"That wasn't very hard, was it? Your turn." He said and I smiled.

He never failed to make me smile.

"Well I think i'm about to be saved by the bell." I said, and just on que, Grady barged into the room.

"Okay Sophie you'll be sleeping in the guest room tonight because we can't move Keefe, do you want me to bring Iggy?" Grady asked as he started picking up random things to bring from my room like my memory log and random elixirs.

"No, I think Keefe can handle him tonight." I said and Keefe shot me a 'please take the ridiculously loud and stinky imp with you' look.

"Okay well, goodnight Keefe. If you need anything just use the imparting and one of us will be right up." Grady said and Keefe nodded.

"Thank you again, Mr. Ruewen." Keefe said and Grady nodded with a small smile.

I waved to Keefe as Grady led me out of the room with some of my things in his hands.

Grady didn't say anything so I decided to have a telepathic conversation with Keefe.

"So is my bed comfortable?" I transmitted and felt Keefe's brain turn from fear and shock to joy as he processed what was happening, something that takes only a second but I can sense very well.

"Jeez you always scare me when you do that?" He thought.

"I'm sorry, I forget it can be surprising."

"It's okay, I like that we can do this, talking just you and me."

"Me too."
