“You like pain?” I said as my nose crinkled.
“No other stuff, I’ll tell you one day.”
I looked up at his face and smiled, hoping it was juicy enough to take my mind away from everything else. “Oh, tell.”
“Let’s say I’m not conventional.” Ryan gazed down at me, and I could feel the heat from the burning in his eyes. He wanted to tell me something. Was it possible he didn’t trust me enough, not yet? I understood that.
But this was me and this was Ryan, and we were going to have an attempt at being in some crazy partnership, first knights and then potentially more and I had to trust them implicitly. He had to do the same.
“Ryan... Stop doing that. Just tell me. I’m not judgmental.”
He pecked the top of my head. “I know.”
He ran a slow stroke over my back. I put my head down, looking away from him. Hoping he’d tell me if I wasn’t watching him.
“I’ll tell you after you’ve got your memory back. When you speak to us about how this relationship is going to work with everyone.”
“Are you gay?” I asked, not responding to the relationship question but my mind suddenly thought of earlier when I was sure he had watched Seb and I, maybe just Seb. “Do you like one of the guys?”
Ryan laughed. “Not gay, but...”
“Curious?”
“I’m not telling you anything else. Stop poking.”
I laughed and wrapped my arms tighter around Ryan’s body. “If I asked for a kiss, would I get one?”
“If I asked to sleep with you tonight, would you let me?” Ryan asked.
“Forward much.”
“Not sex, I mean sleep. I want to cuddle you until you feel no more pain.”
My goodness, could this man get any cuter? Only interested in my pain and helping me. I cuddled him tighter. He was the most perfect and caring person in the world. I was lucky to have him in my life. “Yes, of course I’d let you.”
He picked up my chin in his hand, tilting it upward, and gave me a sweet kiss.
“Ryan, you are perfect, I hope you know that," I said and smiled.
“I wish I was Lacey.”
Chapter 49
Lacey
Thenextday,Ifelt nauseous seeing the chamber as I walked with uneasy steps towards it. Carter was inside, we decided for him to have his memory fixed first. He asked me, and I was thankful that was the case. I still needed a little more time.
The waiting area was sterile smelling, almost like a hospital. But the room was nothing like a medical facility, with art filled walls and speckled white tiled floor. The furniture, unlike a hospital too, the luxurious sofas were comfortable enough to sleep on and the marble-topped table would not look out of place in a high-end hotel.
But regardless of the surroundings, I was so bloody nervous and desperate at the same time. My nerves were fraying as I turned, ready to pace the floor once again.
“Be careful what you wish for.”A voice said.
“Sorry,” I said, turning, but nobody was there. Had I said it to myself? But no, the insidious voice continued talking to me and telling me to be careful. Something was going to change after this. Was it real or my mind playing tricks on me?
Seb and Ryan stared at me.
“Are you okay?” Seb asked. I nodded, but I felt far from fine at that moment. But I was glad they were there for me. They sat with Kane, each remained seated outside the chamber. I walked back to them, my hands moving in and out of fists.
