"Gwen?" Aiden placed his hand under my chin and tried to liftup, I paced the rooic revved up and looked for a place to be directed If Aiden wasn’t careful, it’d be him I’d shoot

"Don’t touch me," I told him

"What did Ian say?" If I needed to know the truth in Ian’s words, then the ansas in the way Aiden asked me that question His voice was nervous and his eyes ith worry He was afraid I learned the secret, not angry about Ian upsetting me The answer I needed nohat plan had they cooked up

Ian agreed to meet with me at 1:00aht My apartment was crowded I needed room to breathe and think, so I went to Willow Park Ian didn’t tell me what the plan was telepathically because he wanted to tellas I found out I had the sneaking suspicion Aiden already thought I knew His eyes darted around the roo for an attack, and when he’d look atof the park was so peaceful Tiny white flurries danced through the ht air like a winter wonderland ballet I tried to focus on the beauty, but the ugliness inside my head ruined the tranquility I should have drew Aiden aside and asked him to explain, but what if I didn’t like what he had to say? Scratch that--I kneouldn’t like what he had to say A girl could only take so many disappointments in one day I arned about the possibilities that my spirit walker abilities could driveme in a room with padded walls Love was coerous and thrilling Up until now our relationship had been thrilling I still didn’t think Aiden was a danger to ive up on ave me a hot pink vibrator, Romeo, for my last birthday, since my love life was pathetic Maybe I’d start a relationship with Ro to nored me and sat down on the bench He stuffed his hands in his leather coat, and stared at the darkened forest

Rolling my eyes, I drew my focus back to the playful flurries We sat in silence for a while before Dorian spoke

"You want to talk about it?" His voice was low and filled with genuine interest

"No" I kneas interested in ht stand But guys like that can’t offer helpful advice when it comes to relationship troubles

Dorian didn’t press, he stayed quiet until I couldn’t stand it anymore I needed to bitch to someone and since Fiona wasn’t here, Dorian would have to do "Are allpricks?"

Dorian swiveled his head to look atone side of his mouth up

"I’ has screwed hed

"Before you start chasing the ladies, I think I deserve a chance," Dorian smiled and cocked a brow

I shook my head, can’t talk to an interested man about your love life One way or another it always turns to the able to please you the way the other losers couldn’t

"Fuck off," I scoffed Just like aout with another

"What did Mr Wonderful do that has you in such a hissy fit?" Dorian snorted
