She did feel better. It had been nice to see how concerned Lanias was for her, and it had reminded her that she wasn’t alone.
“I needed some time to think,” she said.
She walked over to the sofa, and she sat down. Crossing her legs, she relaxed. “Does your boss really intend on capturing Asher, or is there another reason for you coming here?”
Oye was many things but she wasn’t an idiot. Castian had a lot more invested in their current mission than he was putting on. From the way he treated Tillon to how he kept disappearing at different intervals. The man was clearly doing his job, but something about it felt like it wasn’t the same as hers.
He went to speak; she lifted her hand and stopped him. “Look, I know you said you’re only playing a role, but I know what real hate looks like. And you might be able to fool the other people here but not me. It’s very clear you have some personal vendetta against Tillon.”
He frowned.
“I am here to help you in capturing Asher. If there is something bigger going on you need to tell me,” she insisted. “Otherwise, I’ll be completely useless as back up.”
“And we wouldn’t want that,” Castian finally said. “Oye, you don’t have to worry about what I am doing, it’s something that only concerns me. I promise it won’t get in the way of what you and the Jackals are after.”
So, her hunch had been right. “What exactly is it? And why does it involve Tillon?”
Instead of answering he asked, “Nathan, who is he to you?”
“We’re not talking about him,” she snapped.
“But there is something there,” He pushed, standing up from the bed. “You shouldn’t hide what your relationship with him is from me. Since we’re sharing, shouldn’t you tell me if he was your lover or not?”
“I don’t want to talk about someone who doesn’t matter to our assignment.” She angrily said as she stood. “Stop asking me.”
The two of them stood in opposition to each other, both unwilling to share their secrets. Seeing that neither was willing to give in, Oye looked away first. “I thought we had an understanding.”
“And what understanding was that? Come, don’t act like this is your first time playing these types of games. My enemy of my enemy is my friend, but that doesn’t mean we should trust one another,” Castian said.
She glared at him, “Fine, I’ll just have to find out what it is on my own.”
“What? What is?” Castian asked cynically.
“Your mission.”
Castian eyes squinted. “I wouldn’t bother doing that if I was you. There isn’t anything you can do for, or against it.”
“Wow, how ominous,” she muttered, shaking her head.
“I know I’ve been playing a soft cupcake, but I’m not. I think you need to remember that.” Her hand shot up and a dagger flew from her hand sinking into the wall right behind him. A cut in his cheek split open, the blood sliding down his cheek. “If whatever you’re doing puts witches in danger or hinders me in getting Asher. I won’t hesitate in cutting your heart out.”
He slowly lifted his hand and brushed a finger over the cut. Metal flowed from it stitching his wound together. He brought his blood coated fingers to his lips and sucked on them. A dangerous look in his eyes.
Castian dropped his hand and walked toward her. Oye didn’t retreat as he grabbed her arm and pulled her close. His other hand reached up and dug into her hair, yanking her head back. His lips hovered over hers and said gruffly. “I want you to watch me. I want to see if you can figure out just what this evil warlock is up to.” He leaned down and licked her face from her chin to her bottom lip, “But maybe I just want you,” he said as he claimed her lips in a brutal kiss.
Oye should’ve wrapped her foot in iron and broken his ankle with it, but she didn’t. She allowed herself to enjoy his kiss. The sensation of him staking his claim on her was thrilling. Her lashes lowered as she allowed him to run wild. Both his lips and tongue working against hers to take to her higher level of pleasure. He removed his hand from her hair and brushed it along her back.
A deep guttural groan escaped from between his lips as he pulled away from her. And pressed his nose against the nape of her neck just breathing her in.
“This is not good,” he whispered.
Oye was thinking the same thing, especially with his heavy arousal pressing her stomach. And she could feel how wet she had become from his wild kiss. Oye wanted to fuck him, actually she wanted him to fuck her, but she knew better to than to say that out loud.
“You should’ve pushed me away,” he grumbled, lifting his head from her neck.
“What would be the point? Isn’t it better to just enjoy it? Doesn’t mean anything will happen, I think we’re capable of ignoring our attraction to one another. Admit it, you want me,” she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
He pulled away from her. “And you want me. But unfortunately, we can’t act on it.”
