Chapter 139: A Siren’s Rage (2)
Inez laughed. She said to him, "Is this because of what I did? Are you taking revenge on me by getting on my nerves because I covered you with pig blood?"
"No," he shook his head and stated in a calm voice, "You will pay for that little prank, bubbles, but not now. I am a lot of things, but I will never make use of someone’s vulnerabilities against them."
And that’s what made him different from Dominic in many ways, thought Inez with a hint of admiration in her eyes. However, she didn’t have the time to appreciate his kindness. She sucked in a breath and turned her head to one side. She said to him, "That’s very noble of you, but you need to go."
"Why?"
Her siren side lunged to her surface when that slow, languid drawl unintentionally seduced her. Before she could stop herself, the truth had left her lips, "Because you are forgetting that I am a siren! Do you even know what kind of rage a siren would feel when they are angry?"
At first, Killian was stunned by her outburst, but then he realised what she was saying and suddenly his eyes darkened. The air slowly started to charge with sexual tension that had always lingered around the two of them. It had never crossed the line, but it had been there, subtly reminding them of the attraction that they had been refusing to see.
"You should know this. There is a reason why sirens are used and treated as slaves. Why are they kept downtrodden and furious?" she continued. "That’s because the more heightened their emotions were, the more their desires surged. The driving force for a siren’s lust is their anger. That’s weird as fuck and I know that many look down on us because of this. Because we use others as if they are our slaves."
"I don’t want to use you like that, so you better go." Or she would really use him like the other women had used him. She had seen and understood Killian enough to know that the man was a good person. He had given her a place to stay, even though Dominic had passed out the order that no one was allowed to give her a place to stay.
He was a true protector who cared for his pack and family.
