Chapter 25
Piper
The lights of the shopsbroke through the darkness and made me sigh. I’d spent too much time in the Durand Manor and not enough time out with the living. It was the day before the party I was supposed to help with, and I had finally gotten done early.
Maybe I was getting better at the job?
Images of Rayne’s pink underwear coming out of the wash made my lips quirk up. Nope, guess I wasn’t. Still, even though it had been an accident, imagining the rage on the redhead’s face when he found out was more than worth it. Little prick.
I needed this night out of the house, especially if I was going to be surrounded by not just all six of the vampire masters but strangers as well.
After my weird encounter with the masters, one would think the rest of the week would go on like normal, and for the most part, it did. I woke up at seven, found the note under my door from Darren for the daily chores, then went about doing said chores.
The only difference was the dreams.
If I thought my dreams were naughty before, they had turned XXX-rated in ways I could have never in my wildest dreams have thought of. Each and every one of those dreams featured Wynn. Sure, the others had cameos here and there, but Wynn was the one whispering sweet nothings in my ears before he plunged inside of me with cock and fangs. I’d wake up a shaking mess and in desperate need of new panties.
I’d already gone through a whole box of batteries from how bad it has gotten. However, I made sure to keep my door locked and to only do it during the daytime hours. No need to draw even more attention to my room than I already have.
Avoiding Wynn had been a different challenge altogether. It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who had grown attracted, or in my case even more attracted, to the other. Where before Wynn wouldn’t be up and around before the sun had set, I now would find him reading in his room when I came around to get the laundry.
I darted into the drug store as this morning’s incident flared up in my mind.
“What are you reading?” I couldn’t help but ask. I stood in the doorway of his room, his laundry bag sagging in my hand.
Wynn lounged on his bed, one leg propped up and an arm behind his head, his tantalizing eyes focused solely on the book in his hand. Without looking up from his book, Wynn answered, “The Odyssey.”
“Oh.”
Oh? Piper. Really? Way to make yourself look like an illiterate idiot.
I shifted from side to side before giving up on trying to find something impressive to say and headed for his laundry basket. I cursed and chastised myself under my breath, shoving handfuls of clothes into the bag. The scent of Wynn wafted up from the clothes, and my insides tightened involuntarily. I stifled a moan, rubbing my legs together to ease the ache.
My face flushed, realizing I was getting turned on just by his dirty laundry. What the fuck?
“Piper.” Wynn’s usual flirty tone had turned dark and sultry in my ear.
Freezing in place, my back tensed hard enough to break bone. Had he caught me? Did he know how much I wanted him?
Swallowing and then licking my lips, I slowly turned to face him. “Uh, yes?”
With a bemused sort of grin, Wynn stood in the bathroom doorway, his head angled to the side. “Did you just sniff my clothes?”
Yep. He’d seen me.
Tucking a stray blonde hair behind my ear, I ducked my head and glanced down at the bag in my hand. “Uh. Not on purpose. Kind of hard not to notice.”
“And?”
My head jerked up. “And what?”
“Do I smell bad?”
Narrowing my eyes at the laughter in his voice, I wrinkled my nose. “Like an old dirty gym sock. You really should get that checked out or buy some deodorizer for your shoes.”
Wynn’s blue eyes had turned dark and stormy, and his fangs peeked out from his lips, something that he usually hid so well until now. “Is that so?” He prowled toward me, much like the first day we had met, like a panther closing in on his prey.
Frozen in place, my hand closed and opened on the bag of laundry, not sure how to react to this beast I’d unleashed.
