“Rafael.”

My boyfriend stretched out naked on his sheets, watching the show. The guy looked like a Roman god, reclined on the mess we made of his bed.

“You could help me, you know.”

Stretching, he slinked off the bed. “If you insist.”

Rafael got behind me, tore the zipper down, and slid the dress off my shoulders over my squawking.

“Rafael— Ah!”

He tossed me off the bed, then tossed himself after me. I laughed when he peppered my throat with kisses, wrapping my legs around his waist.

“Sorry, Cloud Girl. I help you out of clothes, not into them.”

“A very clear and specific rule.” Goose bumps popped along my flesh, following Rafael’s kiss trail to my breasts. “But we can’t,” I whispered for no reason. “I have to get to class.”

“Skip.”

“I skipped yesterday. Besides, today is going to be a very good day. I can feel it.”

“Is that why you’re dressed to have everyone who sees you cream their pants?”

Grinning, I shrugged. “I just felt like dressing up today.”

He slipped my nipple free. Holding my gaze, he languidly encircled the tip with his tongue. Maybe I would skip classes that morning.

“You’re a terrible influence on me.”

“They don’t call me a Rogue to flatter me, darling.” He rolled off, groaning like the act physically pained him. “But today is going to be a good day. I won’t be the reason you miss the look on her face.”

I kissed him. “Another thing. We didn’t get to finish our conversation yesterday, and I want to make sure we’re on the same page. I won’t do anything to betray you guys because what we have means everything to me, but the truth is a relationship like ours is new to me. I don’t know what the rules are.”

“This about that joker that wants to hide you?”

“Yes,” I confessed. “But he has a good reason. His being with me is forbidden in more ways than one. As long as he respects and isn’t treating me like a secret, are you okay with me being with him?”

Rafael tangled in my hair. His touch was soothing tracing circles on my temple. “You have to tell us who him is eventually.”

“I’d tell you right now if I could, but it won’t be long. There’s someone who has to know first. When they do, everything will be out in the open.”

“All right, then it’s cool with me.”

“Really?” I asked, cupping his cheek.

“Yeah, Luna. After you and Lucien came back from the vamp club, he came to me kicking himself for hooking up with you when he knew I was into you, but he was still ready to kick my ass to keep you.” He grinned lopsidedly. “I did get in the free shot he offered me ’cause who wouldn’t?”

“Rafael!”

“But then we got into it with Wilder and Cato, and laid it all out. We really meant what we said about letting you decide what our relationship is. We don’t care who you’re with, as long as we’re with you.”

I bit my lip, penning in my smile. It seemed strange to be happy my boyfriend was okay with me fucking my English professor. Didn’t stop me being happy as hell. How did I get so lucky finding four guys who supported and accepted me through everything?

Life shat on me for years. Dealing me the worst hands and putting my sister through hell, and now it decides I deserve some good luck?

It didn’t decide anything. I made my own luck. I’m the one who said no more, came to Regalia U, took charge of my fate, and found the men who were meant for me. That bitch karma doesn’t get any credit.

I kissed him. “Want to join me today?”

His smile twitched. It was so fast, I could’ve imagined it. “Can’t. I’m meeting up with my old man this morning.”

“Is this about how he got into the Gallery?”

“It’s about his chat with you.” Rafael stood and started getting dressed. The atmosphere had shifted. We definitely weren’t sneaking in a quickie that morning. “The whole thing doesn’t make sense. He didn’t need to come here just to tell you to your face that he won’t tell you anything.”

“I got the impression he was checking me out.” I went to work doing up my dress again. “And warning me not to bring you and Cato down with me.”

“We can take care of ourselves,” he said to the wall. His back was to me while he pulled up his jeans. “Something else he didn’t need to come here and say.”

“I brought up the same point. You’re paid to get into all kinds of dangerous situations. You make enemies that try to burn you alive. Why the fatherly concern now?” Coming up behind him, I slid my arms around his waist. “I said it was because he knows the enemy that we’re facing. An enemy that’s more dangerous than Levi ever could be.”
