“Cynnie’s disappeared while I’ve shut up shop. So has Ty, without even giving me a hug. He’s getting a dozen noogies for that the next time I see him. I lock up, checking and double-checking my security. On the way back from checking the manual lock on the fire escape door, I find the dress Cynnie was wearing draped across the foot of the staircase up into the loft like a fallen flower petal.
“B²¹²ú²â?â€�
Her wild giggle answers me.
Grinning, I scoop up the dress and carry it up the stairs.
I expect her to be n*ked in the bed, but she’s not. There’s no sign of her.
“Baby, where are you?�
Another wild giggle. With the open plan of my apartment, the stairwell, and the screen of trees in the loft, the acoustics can be weird. I was sure the first giggle came from upstairs. Now, it sounds like her giggle is coming from downstairs.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are, bumble baby,� I call.
Insane giggles. I spin around in place on the landing, trying to locate the source of those irresistible giggles.
“When I find you, I’m going to b*te my bumble very hard on her b*ttom,� I growl.
“I sting you!�
That was definitely from my bedroom. I tear through the doorway and look around. No naughty bumble in my bed. I yank open the closet doors. No naughty bumble in my closets. There aren’t many hiding places in my bedroom. There’s no way she could fit between the trees.
Then I spot the black rectangle half-hidden in the rumpled bedding. A phone. She’s put it on speaker and dimmed the screen. That sneaky little bee.
I grab the phone and growl into it. “I’m going to find you.�
“I fly away!�
“You’ll never get away from me, little girl. And when I catch you, I’m going to eat you up.� I grip the phone, so turned on my hand shakes, muscles bunching. I pant into the phone. “I’m going to find you, wherever you are, and rail you into the ground.�
She squees. There’s a very faint echo, and I realize where she is.
Game on.”

“He retrieves a fluffy white robe from the bathroom and drapes me in it. Then he sits next to me and opens the black folder.
Inside, there’s a single sheet of paper, covered in words and symbols. There’s a rough square in the center of the page, surrounded by wavy lines. Is that supposed to be water? Inside the square, there are small symbols: cliffs, mountains, an oval lake. The symbols are labeled. The Pillowy Mountains. Shipwreck Cove. Bathtub Lake. Pirate’s Lookout. Rum-un Cliffs.
There are three fancy Xs on the map, drawn with curlicues and shaded in. One in Rum-un Cliffs, one in the Pillowy Mountains, and one in Pirate’s Lookout.
“Is this a treasure map?� I ask, tracing my fingers over it. “Did you draw this? It’s so cool.�
He nods. “X marks the spot, see? You have an hour to find the three treasures and bring them back to me.�
A treasure hunt? He’s made a treasure hunt for me?
A n4ked treasure hunt?
“Pirate treasure?� I ask, blinking up at him.
“U³ó-³ó³Ü³ó.â€�
I can play pirates. I have the perfect thing.”

“You never need to be afraid of me. One thing you need to understand, Little one, is that even when we decide to make this official and I make you mine, you will be the one holding all the cards. You will draw the lines, and I will stay in those lines. I might be the Daddy, but you’re the queen and the queen always rules the hive. Do you understand?â€�

“Oh my God, please, please, please! Angel! Oh, God!â€� Lifting his mouth from her, he gave her a wicked smile. “God can’t save you here, baby girl. But I promise, your Angel will save you and protect you and make you come over and over again. You just be a good girl and let it all go. That’s your only job right now.â€�
