Dillon
“What game are you playing Dillon?”
I whirled with my hand still tightly on the door knob of my room and groaned at the sound of my twins voice.
“I don’t know what you are talking about”
I knew exactly what he was talking about but I wasn’t about to get into it with him or any of the other rulers of this little corner of hell either.
“Where is she? You can’t just keep her locked up here in this dump. We all need to spend time with her. So she can make a decision” His face , so similar to my own was twisted with rage. Making him look almost ugly.
Almost .. it was a a stroke of luck that we were all so good looking. Like some cosmic joke. We could never really look ugly , although Declan was giving it a good go.
“Jealousy doesn’t suit you Dec”
He growled . And I knew my jibe had hit home. Good ,my brother was always coveting what I had. What we all had.
“We want to know where she is? What have you been doing with her all day?”
“I bathed her and dressed her” I watched as his lips thinned. Of course I hadn’t exactly bathed her but he didn’t need to know that. Let the jealous fool think I had had my hands over all that beautiful pale skin.
“You did what?” Hunters voice was loud in the echoing corridor.
Oh goody another fool, coming to stake his claim.
“And then I fed her, and we talked all afternoon”
“You talked all afternoon?” Hunters voice was unusually high. His dark brows slammed down over his blue eyes as if he couldn’t believe his ears. “You talked?”
“Is that code for something because I swear to g…” Declan fell into silence.
“It’s code for I actually had a conversation with her. We talked like grown ups” I rolled my eyes at the pair of them.
Jealous fools could think what ever they wanted.
“Nothing else happened?”
“Not because she didn’t want it to” I winked at them , knowing I was riling them up and not caring anyway. “Because believe me she was up for it, you should have seen the way she shivered when I ran my hand up her naked back” I grinned “but we just talked , I am a gentleman”
“The f**k You are” Hunters voice was angry but there was relief there.
“I can be for her, hell I’ll be whatever she needs me to be” I smiled at them both “and right now she wants a friend, who she can feel safe with. You two will have your turn to woo her. It will be pointless but you will get your week”
I had every intent to give my brothers their week with our beautiful prize. It was our way but it would be to late for them by then.
“Now if you excuse me , I promised her I would watch a movie with her this evening” I licked my lips suggestively “she doesn’t want to be alone tonight”
Yeah it would be much to late for them. Faith would be in love with me before my week was over.
“Hey what’s wrong?” I hovered by the door and stared at her. She looked so lost sat there in the middle of the high giant bed. So
Lost and sad.
“It’s all just a little overwhelming” her voice was small and scared. “And I’m starting to think I’m not dreaming”
I climbed up next to her “Your not Faith this is all very real” Settling myself again the pillows I pulled her back against my shoulder. “Budge up a bit will you, im practically falling off the bed here”
She gave a small laugh. “It’s because you are so big”
“You have no idea sweetie pie” my wink made her giggle but she settled against my chest anyway. Her breath warm through my shirt and I wrapped my arm around her waist.
“What are you doing?”
“I think it’s called a cuddle” I was being sarcastic but she needed normalcy right now. She needed the mundane and this was what humans did, wasn’t it?
“You want to cuddle?” She sounded incredulous but she didn’t move away and that was all the encouragement I needed.i tightened my arms around her.
“I want to do so much more then cuddle Faith but for now this is what you need. So let me hold you. You can ask any other questions you have , you can even cry if you need to and I’ll be right here”
She snuggled down against my chest. Her arm flung around my waist.
“Tomorrow I’m going to take you on the grand tour” I mumbled it into her hair. She smelt fresh and clean. Of all things that were good in her world.
“And Faith?”
“Yes Dillon” Her voice was muffled.
“We can make out a little as well if that’s what you want to do”
She chuckled softly. The sound making me relax my body against the pillows.
I liked it when she laughed.
I liked being the one to make her do it.
How strange was that?
