LEILANI I sat in the car beside him, my jacket covering the bombshell that lay underneath. I could barely breathe from the tension that rocked the car. The sheer presence of Micage sitting beside me. "I put it in," I blurted when the silence became deafening. Micage c****d his brow, a small squint framing his eyes. "What?" "The vibrator," I whispered, hoping the driver didn't get a whiff of what I was saying. "I put it in." Micage's lips tilted at my words, and for the first time since the night started, something fluttered in my chest. I made him smile. "You don't say," he responded with a deep octave. "I didn't think you were up to it tonight." "You mean you weren't up to it?" I threw back, challenging him with my gaze. "You basically ran away after putting it in plain sight."
