Second Blood: A Reverse Harem Tale (Lovin' the Coven Book 2)

by Jacquelyn Faye

  "Your phone in your room?"

  I nodded. "Nightstand."

  Chief paused at the doorway, noticing the sleeping Josie and Candace in my bed. He tiptoed silently in and came back out a minute later with a questioning look on his face.

  "They sleep with me sometimes."

  "You sleep between your best friend and her girlfriend?"

  "Yes. Platonically. They're snuggle-whores."

  He chuckled and handed me my phone. "Text him."

  "Jimmy?"

  "Duh."

  I unlocked my phone and brought up his chain of messages. "What should I say?"

  "Type, Jimmy. I want to know exactly how you feel about me, right now."

  My fingers started typing but slowed the further I got into the sentence, fear gripping my chest like a vice. I handed Chief the phone. "You do it."

  "Scared?"

  "Terrified."

  He did it and hit send, handing the phone back to me. It took all of eight seconds to read his reply.

  I love you. Is that okay?

  I felt the tear roll down my cheek.

  "Get your answer?"

  "Half of it."

  I think I love you, too. Thank you. Don't bring this up again and don't say it again unless I ask. Or I'll bust your nuts, I typed jokingly. Not ready to deal with the L word.
