Cass knew this place. The darkness was warm, endless, and he knew that the boys had upheld their promise.
Cass let out a soft breath, the sound empty in the vastness of the black space in front of him. He could see the dim glow in the distance, knew what it was, and hardened himself as he marched forward.
He couldn't be a coward, even if he was experiencing some whiplash. It had only been a few minutes ago where he had been very intimate with Edgar and Gideon, but now he had to be serious. He had to pull his brain from planning and plotting how he could flip and twist Edgar around to bring him the sweetest pleasure and instead pivot so that he was going through his power point presentation for Cassian.
It was a rather jarring change, but one he had been prepared for. Cass used the time that he had to walk over to collect his thoughts. In a way, he had a feeling that the gods had given him that time to prepare himself. He was…grateful for it.
