Chapter 21: +Chapter 21+
Caspian shut his eyes just as fast, pretending to be asleep, his ears strained to hear Asher's footsteps, his heartbeat unforgivably loud.
"I'm more hurt by your souring scent," Asher's amused voice came from right beside him.
Caspian opened his eyes with a gasp, staring plaintively at Asher.
"Get some sleep," The Alpha tossed at him for the second night in a row, heading for the door.
Caspian couldn't believe his ears, sitting up to be certain he wasn't hallucinating. He supposed he had Mafia King Nikolai to thank for this break.
He laid back down, a furrow in his brow. It had gone in his favor but why did he feel a little bad?
Caspian didn't give himself too long to worry about that, Asher leaving for the second night meant that he didn't have to deal with the Alpha until the end of the day.
He had the entire day to come up with a plan that would keep him in one piece for the third night.
Caspian even got up early the next day, making full use of the bathtub again. He came out to find the curtains thrown open, the artificial scent of cleaning agents slowly dissipating.
