170 ~°~Chapter One-hundred & Seventy~°~

"What happened today, baby?" Virgil asks seriously when we settle in for the night and I freeze up mid-way through the act of pulling the sheets up.

Glancing at him to see his level blue stare fixed on me and I sigh long-sufferingly unable to lie to him. "Promise me you won't punch anyone."

His eyes narrow, a subtle twitching of his lips like he had been expecting this. "I'm not making any promises." He says bluntly.

I sigh again. "Your twin brothers might have kidnapped me… wait, let me get to the end." I add quickly when his eyes start flashing. "For Jaxie to ask me a favor, and for the record, Jaxie had absolutely nothing to do with it." I explain seriously when he looks like he's concocting some cruel plan to make them suffer.

He props his hand under his jaw so he can scold me properly with his blue eyes. "I'll be the judge of that, what favor did Jaxon want?" He asks suspiciously.
