Changing Beauty (The Deadly Beauties Live On 2)

“Stay at Kane’s,” Reese calls out, causing me to pause. “It’s best if everyone stays together for now.”

No way in hell do I want Roslyn to wake up in a house full of people.

“I know you want her to yourself,” Reese goes on, “but you’re safer in numbers, and I have to return to my pack. She’s safer with you than she is with me, but only if you all stay together.”

“He’s right,” Kimber says, moving off Gage as she looks at me.

“That way we don’t get left out again,” Zee adds, glaring at me. “We went all the way to that cabin. Roslyn left them all in a panic. Drackus is doing damage control to keep Alyssa, Calypso, and Kane from finding out what’s been going on. He has them researching all this first shit in that book Chaz has. Maybe we’ll get a clue as to who the damn master is.”

“I should call Sadie,” Reese says while pulling out his phone.

“Tell them to slim their search by only looking at women,” Dice announces.

I don’t want to stand out here and talk all day, so I start walking Roslyn toward Kane’s, even though I’d rather be in my own house.

“So if my mother and her mother are slapping skin, that means technically she and I are close to being brother and sister,” Dice quips, jogging up beside me.

I groan as a few chuckles emerge.

“You guys get over near-death shit too quickly,” Kimber grumbles, staying close to Ella.

“Which means,” Dice adds, ignoring Kimber completely, “you and I are on the road to being brothers.”

I glare over at him as we come around from the back side of Kane’s house, but I just shake my head, deciding it’s not worth the argument. He gets off on that shit.

As everyone fills in Chaz and Zee on what went down, I head up the steps, walking by the smirking incubus as he holds the front door open for me.

As soon as I have Roslyn upstairs and on the bed, my phone goes off, chirping in my pocket.

DICE: #Brothers #BrotherlyLove #YouKnowYouLoveIt

Why did I even look?

I move into the bed beside Roslyn, pulling her to me. I’ll be with her when she wakes up.

“Text me back, brother!” Dice calls up the stairs, and I glare at the door I shouldn’t have left open.

Laughter filters up, and I roll my eyes while nestling in closer to my girl, just when my phone goes off again.

DICE: #Family #TakeCareOfMySister #ThatSoundedDirty

All of the sudden, We Are Family starts playing loudly, and I curse while getting up and slamming the fucking door. But I slam it too hard, and the damn thing breaks off the hinges and half of it collapses to the floor, while the other half dangles by a screw.

Motherfucker.

Another stupid text comes through.

DICE: #EpicFail

Turning off my phone, I grab a pillow and pull it over my head while curling back up next to Roslyn.

Chapter 42

ROSLYN

“Monster Evil! It’s way better than Master. I refuse to call any woman master ever again.”

My head pounds as voices gather in my ears, and I struggle to open my eyes.
