I opened my eyes just enough to see his slightly opened ones - their ocean blue surface filled with a haze that confirmed just how drained he was. They briefly flickered of purple and pink, but they soon closed once more.
I broke the kiss to see what he'd say, but he’d fallen right back asleep.
"You're that tired," I huffed but my lips curled up in approval while I moved my hands to brush a few of his pink strands from his face.
After the madness, he deserved to sleep for days if not weeks. Obviously, we wouldn't be given that luxury, but if someone was trying to further fuck things up, we weren't going to deal with that tonight.
If so, major shit would go down.
Returning my attention to the desk, I noticed a neon orange piece of paper that stuck out from the obvious stack of approval letters and documents that were printed on white paper.
The immediate sight had me tugging the sheet out from the pile and reading it with haste.
"You think you've won, little princess? You should learn something in your next life.
Change offices when it's been infiltrated more than once."
That had me moving to the window, my eyes immediately darting all over to try to see anything from below. The current weather of gloomy clouds wasn't helping at all, but I couldn't pick up anyone from the ground below.
There was no way I'd be able to with the darkness, twinkling lights from cars and establishments below, and the immense height we were at, but those all felt like excuses to my mind that was desperate to find the culprit of this bullshit.
"In the air,"my wolf stated with urgency, and by the time my eyes noticed the helicopter that was hidden perfectly within the passing clouds until that exact moment, a man in black combat attire already had his sniper rifle ready.
The dotted circle on my chest.
"Shit! Dimitris!"Jayce must have caught the view of the inevitable, but there was nothing I could do to try to avoid this.
Or so I thought.
My body was spun around – and I crashed into a firm chest as the rich aroma of cherry blossoms and lavender assaulted my sense of smell.
The pull of the trigger was followed with the gunshot that shattered glass. The doors of the office darted open as the guards came in with their guns in position to shoot down the intruder.
They had no clue how far out our attackers were, and yet the sudden boom of an explosion only confirmed that our enemy would be no more of a disturbance.
"You're a good kisser," William quietly muttered. "Though I'm still curious about whether you're a top or bottom."
That seemed to snap me out of my daze as I pushed back from William to acknowledge he was perfectly okay. The smug grin on his face fell to a pout as he let out a dramatic sigh.
"Garfield is really going overboard here," he declared.
"What are you-" I stopped because I immediately knew what he was referring to as the two guards now had their guns pointed at William's back, their eyes full of murderous intent.
Fuck!
"Go ahead. Pull the trigger," William encouraged before a yawn escaped him. "I dare you."
William! Are you fucking stupid?!
His tired eyes danced with delight at my mental scrutiny, but we continued to stand there, frozen in place, expecting something to happen.
William's smile grew to a wide grin that showed his white teeth, and he turned around as if he knew without a doubt nothing would pierce through his flesh. I was left in a baffled state, as were the guards pointing their weapons in our direction, leaving William no choice but to sigh dramatically.
"You two thought none of us noticed you weren't in the new roster of guards?" William stated with immense joy, and I could only imagine how deadly his eyes appeared at this moment.
The two men were shaking in their spots, and it only took a few seconds for me to catch onto the beginning droplets of blood that were rolling out of their ears, followed by their nostrils, eyes, and slightly opened mouths.
By the time they lost the ability to hold the very guns in their grasps, blood was leaving their bodies like grand rivers.
