Chapter 193 Dread and Excitement

Lexi paced anxiously in her father’s lounge as she waited for him to finish gathering

his things. Steven stood at the side of the doorway to his room like a statue, his stoic

face impassive, and the only visible movement was his eyes as they followed Lexi’s

pacing.

“You’ll wear a hole in the carpet if you continue walking the same patterns.” He

observed dryly. Lexi paused and looked at him in shock, removing her hands from her

mouth where she had been gnawing on the edges of her fingernails as a wry smile

found its way onto her lips.

“Well, f**k me, Steven, you do speak.”

“I’d rather not.” He answered flatly, his eyes remaining fixed on her father’s doorway.

“What? f**k me? Or speak?” Lexi teased.

Steven chose not to answer, only sighing slightly and crossing his arms in front of him.

Lexi chuckled and waved her hand dismissively at him.

“I’d probably break you anyway.” Lexi smirked, “Things do tend to get brittle with age,

don’t they? And considering you’re a wraith… I’ll take a wild guess and say that you’re

pretty much desiccated in that area… like those little slivers of coconut. Imagine…

desiccated p***s. I wonder if it’s as flaky when…”

“Lexi, stop teasing Steven.” Her father admonished halfheartedly in an amused tone

from behind her, as she turned to grin at him unapologetically.

“To be fair he started it.”
