Chapter 144
- KILLIAN -
This woman is a different species.
I stare in awe at the lady completely passed out on my bed, sleeping with an oddly wide smile on her face, completely naked in my duvet like a satisfied cub after having a good meal.
Or a cat after doing a naughty deed, knowing it can get away with anything.
She intrigues me though. Way more than she should. I can’t get over the fact that she’s a teenager and she’s attracted to everything she shouldn’t be. She’s drawn to everything she should run away from.
She’s drawn to me even when she shouldn’t be. My eyes rests on her shoulder which glistens due to the moonlight reflecting through the window into my room.
I mean, who on earth sees someone with a gun and the first thing she asks is to be threatened by it in bed?
Maybe I should rectify that question, which normal nineteen year old does that? A crooked smile forms on my face, still adoring my little angel. It’s one of the reasons I love her though.
She accepts me as I am even though I’m twisted. She doesn’t know half of what I am yet her reaction to what I do and want reassures me a lot. It encourages me that when it comes down to it. . . if it comes down to it. . . and I’m ready to tell her all about me, both the crooked part and the obscene, she’ll accept me without second thoughts. It’s quite reassuring in its own way. With her, I feel like we can pass through any situation and still come out strong. I feel like we can overcome anything together and I’ve not had this feeling with someone other than my blood brother for so long. It’s refreshing.
