(Audrey's POV)

His lips were so soft and sensuous against mine. He was cautious at first but then his hands moved to pull me closer and I gasped into his mouth as he kissed me more passionately. He tangled one hand in my hair, tugging gently, while his other one rested on my lower back.

I pulled away when I became breathless and pressed my forehead to his.

"Calm now?" I asked quietly.

"I'm still going to f*cking kill them."

I nodded. "I know."

"How long?" He asked sitting on the bed and pulling me onto his lap.

I knew what he was asking and I knew he wouldn't like the answer.

"Ever since we began living with them."

"His wife too?"

I nodded.

"And Andrew?"

I sighed. "Unhealthy attachment and attraction since we moved in. Hasn't ever taken the hint."

He slid one hand up to my throat and gently brushed his thumb across the bruise on my neck.

"He did this?"

"Yeah."

"Because of me."

"It's not your fault." I said. "He's....not well. Never has been."

"We knew."

"What?"

"Enzo and I knew. We saw the bruises you tried to hide. We saw the signs. We knew. Nothing we could do without proof."

"You never mentioned....."

"We didn't want to scare you two away."

"Andrew told me the reason you and him got into that fight." I said pressing myself closer against him.

He smirked. "A fight? It was beatdown."

I smiled. "He didn't land a single punch on your handsome face?"

"You think my face is handsome?"

I blushed. "I did kiss you, didn't I? And now I'm sitting on your lap."

"You did and you are." He smiled placing his hands on my thighs. "Glasses broke." He said touching the tape that held my glasses together.

"Ernie threw me into the floor after he smashed our snow globes and they fell off and broke." I explained.

"Doc can get you a new pair by tomorrow."

"Why does your family have a doctor who makes house calls?"

"He.....is a longtime family friend. He delivered my brother and I, as well as our sister. He has several medical degrees."

"He was very nice."

"He is." He nodded just as someone knocked on the door.

"I have clothes for you." Vals's mom said.

I got off his lap right before she opened the door.

"Thank you." I smiled as she handed them to me.

"Of course. You and Ruby may stay here in the guest room if you'd like."
