I start to sag forward, but Axel catches me with a thick arm around my waist.

“Easy.”

His soft tone is such a switch from the Axel a moment ago.

I should’ve expected it. Should have expected him .

When we were on the phone earlier, I’m sure it sounded like someone was breaking into my house. And instead of explaining the whole ridiculous thing, I cut him off. So, of fucking course he’d come flying over.

Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Axel hold up the little vibrator. He twists it around, looking, then I watch him press down on the power button.

Nothing happens.

He tries again. And again, nothing.

Axel gives it a little shake. “What the hell?”

I can’t help it, I start laughing.
