Chapter 276
"I miss the awkward dinners with Agramon and having to listen to Lucifer talk about himself," Amelia said as she took off her necklace.
Somehow, dinner ended peacefully and she had not argued with anyone. Her grandmother did not try to speak to her about the temple or leaving Killian again and Fraser was surprisingly quiet. It meant that he was plotting something probably foolish but he thought it was a good idea.
Amelia couldn’t think of anything else, but falling down onto her bed and going to sleep. Tomorrow was a big day and she had to be well rested since there was a big role she had to play in taking over the Blackwell castle.
Killian, on the other hand, did not need the rest. He could stay awake for as long as he wanted to keep an eye on what Fraser or anyone else was plotting.
"You seemed to have enjoyed dinner," Amelia said, watching him pour himself wine he had snuck away from the table.
"I happen to like it when families feud with each other. It is more entertaining than when strangers do it," Killian answered. The Blackwells were just as he had left them. Trying to kill each other. There wouldn’t be much for Amelia to do tomorrow. "I look forward to the night being eventful."
Amelia picked up the dress she wore from the floor after it fell because she had taken it off. "Did you hear something? Is someone planning on attacking us?" She asked. She wouldn’t be surprised if a fight were to break out in the middle of the night between the North and Blackwells.
Amelia and Killian seemed to be an easy target since they were not here with many guards so there would be that one man in court to convince Fraser to get rid of Killian now or it might be Fraser’s bright idea.
"I just want to sleep," Amelia said, sitting down at the edge of her bed. All the fighting and arguing could wait until tomorrow when she would be in the mood for it.
"So sleep," Killian replied, not seeing what was keeping her awake. Nothing would happen to her with him around and when he was in the mood to kill someone. "I will stay awake if that will help you sleep."
"I was hoping that you would join me in bed. Not for that," Amelia added when Killian gave her a look. Being intimate with him would only make her more tired than she already was and she might get up late in the morning.
Amelia didn’t dare considering only one time since Killian could convince her for more without asking. To not set herself up, Amelia was going straight to bed, but she wanted Killian in bed with her. She could hold him and should he move because there was trouble coming their way, she would wake up.
