"I was safe the entire time, wasn't I?" Katie slowly asks, "I'm not trying to be cocky or anything, I'm just asking."
Lane rolls his eyes as if it should already be obvious, looking back out onto the damp woods in annoyance. "What do you...

The sound of the wind howling outside the window behind the navy blue curtain is what Lane focuses on. The crime lord lays on his back in bed, deep in thought. Katie lays on his chest, her head resting on his collarbone. Her eyelids are heavy and her lips pouty as she sleeps peacefully.
When Katie confessed that she had a crush on Elijah, something dominant overcame Lane. Guilt eats at him as his mind replays his aggressive, sexual behavior he had displayed to Katie earlier that evening. Truly, Lane had not hurt his lover and he did succeed in making her nearly forget Elijah's existence by the time the two of them ended their sexual encounter. But Lane knew he had been possessive and acted out in jealousy, which made him feel small.
Lane looks down at the sleeping young woman on his chest, his double chin apparent. Lane grabs the covers and pulls them up to her bare shoulders. Katie cuddles into his chest, her nose cold against his warm flesh. The crime lord gently plays with the blonde's hair as he continues to replay his previous behavior in his mind.
I've got to do something with Elijah. I can't take having him here now. Lane heavily sighs, kissing the crown of Katie's head. When the snow is gone, I'll arrange for someone else to take over the drug cartel since Axel is such a bitch about it. I'll have to have them take Elijah and that red headed Twerp with them...and maybe the other two bitches too. But the question is, who do I trust enough to put my business in their hands? I will also have to find new management for the hook business too. That bastard's got something coming to him when I get my hands on him.
Lane looks down at his lover once more, smiling softly as peace fills him. She's so beautiful when she sleeps, like an angel.
For the past hour, Katie had tossed and turned in her sleep. She had dreamed of laying in front of a roaring fireplace under a heavy quilt all the while being spooned by Lane as he gives her shoulder and neck kisses. But the sound of the dogs whimpering on the other side of the door wakes the blonde up from her slumber like state.
Katie raises her head, her green eyes wide. "Mmmmm...?"
Katie lays her head back down and softly grumbles at the sound of the dogs scratching at the attic door. The blonde buried her face into her pillow. She suddenly feels the tenderness between her thighs, the actions of the night before flashing through her mind. Biting her lip as she begins to giggle, Katie is filled with a delicious feeling that makes her silly.
Mmm! Last night was so amazing. Katie bites her lower lip as she grins widely. Lane-Lane!
The blonde's green eyes goes wide, subconsciously moving onto her back. But when she sees that the other side of the bed is empty, Katie sits up with shock.
