    Summary

    Maya cracks open one eye. ‘Nick, your text noise is so boring,’ she says. ‘You really need to spice it up a bit. Hey, how about a Steel Samurai sound effect to match your ringtone? I have a really good one of the Steel Samurai yelling I counter!. It’s only five dollars – here, pass me your phone, you just have to text a number to download it –’

    ‘Don’t you dare,’ says Phoenix, holding his phone out of her reach. ‘If that’s what you spend your share of the money on, maybe I should let you buy the burgers for a change sometimes.’

    ‘I buy other important stuff too. Like key chains, and cream puffs, and Nickel Samurai posters, and – oh.’

    *

    In which Pearl, Maya and Phoenix process the Engarde trial in their own ways; and in which Phoenix receives a late-night text.

    Summary

    His hands are on his face again. Gentle. Familiar as the first sip of tea, steam still rising from the cup.

    “Let me be soft with you,” Miles says, his words hitting Phoenix’s face like all his delicate touches. “You and I deserve a little softness. And a little warmth.”

     

    Fingers brushing the back of his knuckles as he’s handed a cup of tea, a handshake, a thumb pressed to his pulse, a kiss, a caress, and other ways Phoenix is forced to accept a gentle touch.

    Summary

    Miles watches Phoenix draw another heart in the sand. His mind feels quicker than usual, jumping from thought to thought, to the last time they saw each other in Phoenix’s office, to the feeling of his tears hot on Miles’s shirt, to the coffee from this morning still buzzing in his body. He watches Phoenix in silence for a moment, transfixed by the way his finger carves shapes into the shifting sand.

    “I’ve been thinking,” he says. “About the last time we saw each other. Six months ago. In your office.”

     

    Over magic tricks, glasses of wine, stubborn grains of sand clinging to their hair, and the fear that an ill advised meeting at Phoenix’s office following his disbarment months before has tainted their relationship, Miles hosts Phoenix and his new ward at his beach house.

    Summary

    “One—whatever we do, we do it at your place. I don’t want you in my apartment, and I’m sure you have some sort of rockstar sex dungeon for shit like this anyway.”

    “I do not, but continue.”

    Ema ignores the interjection. “Two—this is strictly physical, okay? No touchy-feely romance novel garbage. I’m not your girlfriend. I don’t want to be your girlfriend. I also don’t want to have to report any of this to HR. Understood?”

    Klavier nods. “Ja—uh. Yes.”

    “Three—we are not speaking about this to anyone. Partially because I don’t want to risk ending up in a trashy tabloid and ruining your reputation and my career forever, but mostly because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life answering the question ‘how was Klavier Gavin in bed?’”

    “How was Klavier Gavin in bed?”

    “I don’t know, I haven’t slept with him in one yet. Three drinks deep on a bathroom counter? He was pretty okay.”

    Or: Ema Skye and Klavier Gavin attempt to have a casual sexual relationship. It doesn't go as planned—for better or for worse.
