I looked at him over my shoulder. “Where?”
“To our room.”
Like a mindless doll, I followed. It didn’t hit me until we reached the room I’d woken up in.
“What do you mean our room?” It was a stupid question, and I wanted to slap myself—the embarrassment made me uncomfortable.
“You didn’t think I was joking, did you?”
Truthfully, I had hoped it was a joke. I couldn’t be trusted alone in a dark bedroom with him. It was only a matter of time before we jumped each other’s bones, and that was only going to complicate things further.
I never gave my trust easily—after the life I’d lived, it was natural to always keep one eye open. And yet, the moment I’d seen Davorin at Lunax, a new feeling had been born. With him, no matter the situation, I felt at home. Not once had I truly feared for my life when I was with him, and that made me uneasy. It would be easy for him to break that trust and ruin me.
Yet, on some levels, he already had.
I’d grown too used to his attention, and if he decided to pull away from me, I knew I’d lose my mind.
And I’d be damned if I lost this man, when I was this close to finding happiness. Was it even possible for the two of us to truly be happy though? We’d done monstrous things, and neither of us had the words guilt or remorse in our vocabulary.
“Come here,” Davorin said, noticing the shift in my mood.
Brushing all delusions aside, I put my phone on charge and slipped into bed next to him without a second thought.
“Why are you so tense? I won’t eat you, Kaya.”
A laugh slipped from me. “I never said you would.”
He raised an eyebrow. Soon enough, his hand came to the small of my back and he tugged me closer to his body, until only inches separated us.
“You’re so tense.” He chuckled. “I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do.”
My eyes widened, but I knew in my heart that his words were honest. “I know.”
“In fact”—a teasing grin tugged on his lips—“I think you’ll be the first one to eat me.”
That earned him an eye roll. “Not happening.”
“Perhaps not right now,” he murmured. “Let’s sleep for a while.”
I blinked. “Sleep?”
“Yes. You do know what naps are, right?”
A pig-like snort came from my throat. “I meant, why are we sleeping now?”
“The bags underneath your eyes are too big, Kaya. You haven’t rested well in a while, so rest now.”
As another wave of safety consumed me, my eyes fluttered closed. Tenderly, as if he were afraid of breaking me in half, he tugged the covers over my body. He lay with me until I fell asleep, and by the time I woke up again, he was long gone.
I’d decided to tell Davorin to get rid of Brianne. She was invading my personal space. Though this house didn’t belong to me, that was irrelevant—she was annoying and I wanted her gone. Something about the way she was watching me like a hawk, thinking that she was subtle, was pissing me off.
I walked past her, and she opened her mouth to speak, but I threw a sharp glance her way and her mouth closed. With an eye roll of annoyance, I slipped on my favorite pair of heels and headed out.
True to his word, by five in the afternoon, all of my things had been delivered. That included my car, though I was still going insane about what had happened to all the furniture in my home. It held no value, so why would anyone take it?
The first thing I did was contact Rhea, as soon as my phone turned on. I had a lot of missed calls and unread text messages, though they weren’t from anyone important, so I didn’t bother responding to them.
Our scheduled meeting place was, again, Himeros. However, this time, we’d be on the first floor amongst other people. It was earlier than usual, so being all alone in an underground club or casino, both of which were filled with cameras, would’ve raised suspicion.
