[ Hey guys! So, this chapter took a little more time than usual. I had to re-work some of my plans and think about where I wanted this story to go, but don't be alarmed -- this series isn't finishing any time soon. In fact, we're just getting started! :D ]
----------------------------
[ Previous Chapter: ] With pursed lips, I looked up at Tanner, hoping he would find it in his heart to help me. "Can you keep me safe until we find a solution to this?" I asked, looking up to him. Tanner had a warm smile on his lips. He looked down at me, with his ever-handsome visage. His gaze seemed not to pierce my skin or bore holes through my body, but instead melted me slowly. "Of course."
