He raised an eyebrow. “Why would you ask if anything is wrong?”
“I don’t know. You’ve seemed off all day.”
Regent rubbed his chin. “Don’t worry about it. You need to rest.”
“I’ve done nothing but rest these past few days. I’m getting better. Are you already regretting asking me to come stay here?”
“No, baby. Of course not.” He leaned forward and took her hand in his. “I would never regret that.”

“Right.” She rubbed her head. “I forgot about that.”
“You forgot about a note that threatened to expose you? Nyx.”
Holy. Crap.
Yep. She really was in trouble.

Perhaps if she pretended to be invisible, it might actually come true.
Unfortunately for her, that did not happen.
Regent drew the covers down. “Nice try. Not happening. Now that we’ve started this conversation, we’re going to finish it.”
Grasping her under the arms, he hauled her up.
Damn. She hated that she got turned on by that show of strength.
