Just as he got settled in his room with a glass of blood and a book, his phone vibrated. As usual, it was Rayen wanting to check on him.
“I’m fine,” Silas growled at him. He still had no desire to talk to or forgive either of them.
“Good. When will you be joining us?”
Silas didn’t want to go back to them, not now at least. “I don’t know.”
“You have to let her go, Silas. She is not ours; she never was.”
“Go fuck yourself.”
“Come here and you can watch me,” Rayen chuckled but not his usual easy self. He too missed Gwen but unlike Silas, he chose to forget her, to abandon her.
Not wanting to talk to Rayen any more, he hung up the phone and opened the book. While sipping the blood he started reading. After Gwen had opened up to him, he’d bought himself a few romance books. He’d never read any before and he’d hoped to be able to talk to her about their passion for books. Now, it was the only thing that seemed to tie her to him.
He read and drank and read and drank even more. He did so for a few days, only moving to refill his glass. He didn’t really need to feed, but he needed the distraction. After a while, the romance books ran out and only made him miss her even more. How could he read about two people falling in love? He wasn’t even allowed to talk to the one woman he so desperately wanted.
After three days, he couldn’t bear it anymore and left the house to return to the law firm. It was early in the morning, so he waited for her to exit her bus and walk over to the entrance. Close to nine she hopped off the bus and, like the good girl she was, waited by the stop light to cross the street.
While she was waiting, she took off the long coat she’d been wearing and revealed her outfit for the day. She wore a black skirt, flat shoes, and a light rose colored blouse. Her hair was half down, the front part of it held back by braids that she’d tied together in the back.
She’d gained some healthy weight. He’d noticed that when she’d been living with them too. It wasn’t much, but it seemed as if now she was in a better place than she’d been before. Her face looked much healthier too. While he’d met her the first day, she seemed very taken aback, a little insecure, probably because of Amon’s cold behavior towards her. Over time–and with Rayen’s easy going character–she’d opened up and become more confident. She’d never seemed like the type of person who would let someone walk all over her, but she also knew when it was best to let something go.
He’d always suspected that she let most of Amon’s behavior slide because she needed the job. There were probably even some things he or Rayen had done that she hadn’t liked but never said anything. Unlike Rayen, Silas wasn’t as easy going. He knew how demanding he could be at times, but he couldn’t help it. He was dominant, he loved being in control, especially when it came to women.
He sighed and leaned against the building next to him. He wasn’t sure if Gwen would even like him. He couldn’t tell if she liked giving up control or if she liked having it herself. Though for her, he would gladly fall on his knees to please her. It wouldn’t be as fun, but if he could be with her, he would do anything. He didn’t want to break her. He’d done so with other women in the past, but Gwen was different. She actually meant something to him and wasn’t just a fuck for his own gratification.
He watched as she disappeared in the building, a slight growl lingering in his chest. Suppressing the urge to run after her, he disappeared in a dark alley and returned home. He would return that afternoon to wait for his little glimpse of heaven.
When he was a mile away from the mansion, he could already smell Amon and Rayen. Anger rose in him. They were there to collect him, to take him away from Gwen, and force him to completely cut ties with her. If needed, he would fucking fight them. He found Rayen standing in the midst of Gwen’s old living room.Silas walked past him and leaned against the countertop in the kitchen.
“Came back to admit you made a horrible mistake?” He couldn’t help but spit the words at the man he now hated more than his creator.
“We didn’t make a mistake.” Rayen seemed broken, not even he believed his own words.
“You don’t even believe that yourself.”
“We didn’t make a mistake, Silas. It’s best for her.”
“You fucking know that’s a lie. She was well taken care of by us, we would’ve never hurt her.”
“She would’ve never been ours. She probably didn’t even want us, not like that.”
“You’re fucking lying to yourself, and you know it.” Silas’s words were full of spite.
“So, you believe she would have agreed to be with all three of us? Three fucking monsters?” Rayen started laughing hysterically. “You’re so full of shit, you know that? Just because she liked us flirting with her it wouldn’t have meant she wanted to be with us. We were paying her, of course she was being nice to us.”
Rayen’s words hit Silas full force and hurt him more than having his throat ripped out by a blood thirsty vampire newborn. Of course he’d thought of that possibility, but he’d truly hoped that she liked them, and not just because they paid her well.
“Fuck, you’re an idiot.” Rayen’s eyes darkened in hurt.
After meeting her, they’d all been held captive by her. They all had wanted her, and at first Silas had been jealous, wanting her all to himself. Rayen and Amon, though had been different. Rayen had seen her as a flirt, at least for the first day or two. Amon had always admired her from afar, a treat he could never own or have. Like a poor man who would look at a nice car just to lay his eyes on it without ever being able to own it.
Over time, they’d all silently agreed to share her if that’s what she wanted. Though no one had ever said the words out loud because they all knew it was just a dream.
Amon appeared and sat on the couch, or rather collapsed. He looked awful, his eyes sunken into his skull with deep dark rings beneath them. He hadn’t fed in what seemed like forever.
Slowly, he focused his eyes on Silas. “Even if she had wanted us, we did the right thing. We would’ve invaded her privacy. If she truly was only being nice to us because of the money she is better off without us.”
