Chapter 216: Time And Space
Resting my cheek against Teddy’s head, I watched Tank walking around my room, making sure that everything was safe.
"I think I am broken," I murmured softly from where he had set me on the bed. My back was pressed against the fabric headboard, and I was surrounded by different colored pillows. From the corner of my eye, I could see dark purple, dark blue, dark red, plus the black ones that matched the duvet cover.
"Actually, there is no thinking about it... I am broken." I tasted the words as they formed in my mouth before I put them out there, but there was no lie in them. Père was dead; I killed him myself, but I also knew without a doubt that he was coming for me...
And for everything that I had.
"You aren’t broken, Sweet girl," murmured Tank as he locked the door and removed his shoes. Unbuttoning his shirt, he pulled the bottom out of his pants and stripped it off before throwing it on the floor.
"Then how else do you explain what just happened?" I demanded, waving widely toward the door. "Cause that’s not the actions of a normal person."
"First of all," purred Tank as he crawled into bed with me. Glancing at his chest and abs, I was happy to see that he was even more cut than the Judge. "Who is to say what normal is? You are you, and that is perfection as far as I am concerned."
Before I could say anything, he pulled back the covers and let me crawl under them. Taking off my clothes, I slid between the silk sheets completely naked. I wasn’t looking for anything to happen, but right now, my skin was feeling too weird for me to have anything against it.
Besides, with all my scars, even Tank would think twice.
