170- Nice and nighttime
Bemy and I end up giving Amber a ride home. She is apparently only a few minutes out of our way.
After we make sure she is safely inside we drive towards home.
“I’m not sure if I feel guilty leaving Cam behind with Harry to pester her. I mean he does it every night
anyway but still… he’s gotten into the back room once and he was waaaay too fascinated by
everything back there. She’s going to have a hell of a time trying to keep him out now.” I point out. Not
sure if I feel guilty or amused. Bemy shrugs.
“You did say they’re meant for each other right? It’s likely that she doesn’t dislike him as much as she
says she does.” He suggests.
“True. Or she does and in that case he probably needs the extra time with her to win her over. Well,
whatever. Cam can handle Harry. If he gets too annoying she can just spell him again.” I joke. Bemy
looks just a little too pleased with that idea.
We’re just pulling up in front of the house when my phone chimes.
COCK TALES
Harry This is STUPID. I’m going home. I refuse to waste my time. She rejects me but hangs out with
some other Incubus? This is just CRAP!
Woah, I knew Harry was jealous but this is on a whole different level. I guess it would be hard since
he’s never really been jealous before, or rejected by someone he seriously went after.
Amber- Harry I’m fairly sure that Cam was just messing with you. I mean, what are the chances that
there’s another Incubus around that is drinking the random untested potions.
that shees up with?
Megan- Woah, what did we miss?!?
Darrien- What she said.
AAA
Ryann- I was right. Our super secret Witch contact was Cam. Then Amber and Harry showed

up and crashed our meeting. Harry was there to annoy Cam like usual.
Ryann- In other news, the drinks she’s been giving him? Some of them are untested potions! She
made ament about how she TOTALLY tests them one the OTHER Incubus who hangs
out with her in the bar…
Megan- Oooooh so he’s jealous. This is hrious. But also… I get why Harry was there, he’s always
there. But why was AMBER there?
Amber- Because I knew Harry would be there and I didn’t get to meet himst time. DUH.
Harry- A you came just for me <3
Amber- I also wanted to meet Cam. Don’t let it go to your head.
Harry- Toote. I’m so great you needed to meet me.
Darrien- Dude. Just stop.
Without me! I know
Megan- Actually, I think I might be kind of annoyed. You all hung out why you didn’t bring me along
originally Ry, but you could have texted and we could have caught up!
Darrien- I mean, you spent the evening hanging out with me. Was that really so bad?
Uh, should this be a private conversation? As Bemy and I head inside he checks his phone and
raises an eyebrow. Yeah, I’m starting to think that Darrien enjoys putting Megan on the spot a little bit. I
message him directly.
Ryann- I’m starting to think that you have a bit of a mean streak.
Darrien- If I message her something like that directly or say it out loud she just kind ofughs it off or
ignores it. At least with witnesses she can’t pretend I didn’t say anything.
Ryann- Huh, I thought you were making progress. Is it not going well?

170–Nice and nighttime
Darrien- We are making progress. She’s just… nervous. It’s strange since she’s usually so confident. I
think the whole thing with Tristain really did a number on her. She’s not as sure. in her decisions as she
usually is. It’s like she’s constantly double guessing herself.
Ryann- I can see what you mean. I’ll ch*ck in on her at some point. I feel like I’ve been neglecting her a
little recently.
Darrien- Don’t beat yourself up too much. You’ve had a lot going on. You don’t even get to rest when
you’re sleeping. I don’t know if I mentioned it to you at any point, but if I can help you at all, please let
me know, okay?
Ryann- Thanks Darrien. ??
Okay, I’m feeling weirdly teary. It might just be because it’s been a really REALLY long day, but Darrien
being sweet to me was just enough to make me emotional. I really don’t want to cry though. I feel like
I’ve spent so much time crying recently. I don’t want to do it anymore. I need to be strong for Kiara. I
need to focus on her and do everything I can to find her. I’m so distracted with my phone that I trip
while climbing the stairs. Bemy catches me and in a single smooth motion snatches my phone from
my hands.
“Messages once you’re at the top of the stairs. Thank you. I have enough to protect you from without
worrying about your clumsiness taking you out.” He grumbles. He guides me into our bedroom and I
drop onto the bed. I squeal when Bemy kneels down and pulls my shoes off
my feet.
“Okay, getfy. Now you can have your phone back.” He dramatically presents it to me.
“Why thank you.” I say sarcastically. I go back to the group chat.
COCK TALES
Amber- Go on Megan, Darrien asked you a question. Curious minds want to hear the answer.
Ryann- Seconded. I want to hear if you had a nice evening Megs. I’d feel terrible if we left you
behind and you were miserable.
Megan- I had a nice evening I guess. No need to obsess over it.

170. Nice and nighttime.
Darrien- I’m d. I enjoyed spending time with you too. ??
Ryann- HEY AARON!
Aaron–7
Ryann- Did you have a nice evening off?
He just texts back a thumbs up and 1 dissolve into a fit of giggles.
“I didn’t know that it was possible, but somehow he talks even less than he used to.” Bemy observes.
I roll my eyes.
“I know right! It’s a game I think. He just likes messing with me. I try to get him to talk and he does
everything he can to avoid it. He’s a master atmunicating without words. One day I am going to
learn his secrets.” I dere. Bemyughs.
“I doubt that anyone could ever master silentmunication like Aaron has.” I shrug.
“Sure, but one day I’m going to crack him. He’s going to have something to say and he won’t be able to
hold it in. I’m sure of it. In the meantime, I don’t mind having him around because if I don’t want his
opinion all I have to do is avoid looking at him.” Bemy snorts out at
“That’s one way of looking at it. I didn’t realise that he was opinionated enough for you to ignore him.”
Now it’s my turn to give an undignified snort.
“He is VERY opinionated if you’re paying attention. He’s capable of the loudest silence I’ve ever heard.
He enjoys the drama and gossip just as much as the rest of us. That’s why he hasn’t quit the group
chat.” I conclude confidently. Bemy yawns.
“I have a meeting with the Alphas in the morning. I really need to sleep.” He admits.
“Give me a minute to get changed and I’ll join you. Maybe I’ll be able to talk to Kiara again. tonight.” I
say, forcing optimism into my tone.
“I hope so.” Bemy and I both prepare for bed and then I curl up against him and close my
