Book 3: All Yours

Anacá's POV

I walked into the bedroom while Lucy preferred following Eros to the kitchen. It seemed more than me; his charm had bowled over my pet dog. I entered the enormous walk-in closet that was almost empty. With only one side occupied, I had the rest of the space to myself for my new and old belongings. 

This was a work I hated, but what choice did I have? I couldn’t call Jess here to help me. In fact, Jess had completely disappeared from my life. Even my calls to her went unanswered. I wondered what she was up to. 

“Woof!” Lucy trotted inside to rub her body against my legs. I stroked her head and smiled. 

“Where’s your new buddy? Did you ditch him downstairs?” I chuckled at my joke. 

“Why? Are you missing me? I’m all yours.” His voice echoed from behind, and I jumped out of my skin. Wasn’t he downstairs making dinner for us? 

I whirled around to find him leaning against the doorframe of the closet.
