Chapter 157
"Never a dull moment with you is there? You’re making it hard for me to let you go if you should one day beg for me too," said Killian as he watched Amelia bring a box of books to where he sat.
"I don’t want to find out my mother is a witch but I wouldn’t mind learning that she had put a spell or something on my father. It wasn’t fair for her to be sitting quietly while he played in her face. I hope she did something to Annabelle since that woman would not stop taunting my mother," Amelia said.
She had no idea what her mother’s train of thought was but hoped whatever it was would play out soon or maybe it did already.
"Being a witch wouldn’t be so bad for you-"
Amelia gave Killian a random book since the witch made an appearance in multiple stories. She sat down beside him with the book she was going to read. "I want to be normal. Having a demon fiance is already more than I can handle. I’ve heard how witches are burned. I don’t want to be running away from two fires."
"What makes you think I would let anyone set you on fire?" Killian asked, looking at the side profile of Amelia. She was quite beautiful. There was a mystery as to why there had not been a line of suitors at her door or if had she chased them away. He wouldn’t put it past her. He was curious about what tactics she used to hold out this long.
"Why are you staring at me, Killian? You are meant to be reading," Amelia stated, without looking at him. She could feel his heated gaze on her.
"I was thinking about how beautiful you are."
This caught her attention and she looked at him. "What do you want from me?"
