Sneak Peek: Superstition Ep5 (Patreon)

“So, about me being //your// dumbass.” She stretches before moving to lie on her back, resting her head on my thigh.

“What about it, Roe?”

“Well … you’re, um … mine too.” I try and fail to control how my cheeks rise and warm at the words. I should have rehearsed this better.

“You can’t blush and not scream for me,” she practically purrs, and I grab the pillow to cover her face, turning away.

“I’m serious.”

“I know,” she grumbles, “it dulls conversation with you.”

“Syd.”

She huffs, “yes, I meant what I said, Roe. Though, I guess the latter rests on whether you agree.”

“Wait, are you asking me what I think you’re asking me?”

“Not at all,” she sighs, “you’re hallucinating. Yes, Roe. Do you want to be a one-cambion?man?”

“About time,” I say almost instantly, wrapping my arms around her and resting my chin on her head.

“Huh, I never had a partner before.” She moves away from my hold and turns to look me over, “what am I supposed to do with you? Tuck you into bed? Feed you twice a day?”

“I’m your partner, not a dog.” She smirks, opening her mouth to say something, but I once again hit her with a pillow. This time she sees it coming and grabs it, tossing it to the side as she grabs my wrists and pins me down to the bed as she hovers over top. Her simple smile calms down into a neutral expression and then into a frown.

“I know it’s a bit late to ask this, but … with everything I said before about not being what you want or need. Are you sure? About any of this?”

[[“I’m still here aren’t I?”]]

[[“You’re aromantic.”]]

[[“Where did cocky Sydero just go?”]]
