The Revenge

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

When Gunner brought us to our room, my eyes automatically scanned the place. It was a good size with twin beds situated on the opposite wall. The room was simple with dark furniture, a dark wooden floor and light walls. There was a big window across the door and bathroom. Before Gunner left he said he would send someone with blood and spare clothes.

“Do you trust them?” I found myself asking while I placed my weapons on the table.

“Yea” he answered calmly, gazing from the window as if we weren't in the house full of werewolves.

“How can you trust them so easily” I snapped my eyes to the back of his head.

“I can read people pretty well” he met my eyes, smirk on his face.

“What if you’re wrong and this is a trap” I narrowed my eyes at him, crossing my arms on my chest. I couldn't get over how he trusted them so easily.

“I’m never really wrong” a confident smile appeared on his face.

I rolled my eyes at him ”I’m going for a shower”

Getting into the shower, was the best feeling ever after being this dirty for days. I watched the water beneath me change into reddish-brown colour as I scrubbed my hair and body with soap that was there. I took my time soaking up the heat of the water and watched the steam fill the room. In the meantime, my mind swirled with the thought of Nicolas and the clan. It was all fresh and I couldn't help the tears escaping my eyes. After finishing and drying myself I realised I didn't have any clothes. I shook my head at my own stupidity and wrapped the big towel around my body and used the smaller one to dry my hair.

When I entered the room Sin sat comfortably on the vanity chair sipping a glass of blood. His jacket and t-shirt were off wearing only a tank top and pants. I couldn't control my eyes roaming over his upper body, I had a perfect view of his chiselled muscles. His eyes slowly took in my body from top to bottom. I didn't miss the growing desire in his onyx depths. Heat rushed to my cheeks, averting my gaze and quickly went to the stack of clothes that were lying on the bed. In the meantime, I heard the movement that led him into the bathroom.

Not wanting to get caught naked while dressing I put on the khaki pants and white t-shirt with lighting speed. This sleeping arrangement wasn’t good, but I couldn’t be picky at that moment.

Not that I didn’t like his company but I could feel the sexual tension slowly growing between us. I always thought of him as a friend. Never even crossed my mind that he felt like this. I admired his handsome features from afar and always thought any woman would be lucky to have him with his charming personality. Ever since Sin told me about his feelings something changed in me. I found myself thinking about Sin more than before and it was scaring me. Even just a thought of Sin made me feel like I betrayed Luca and Suren in a way. I couldn't help the feeling I let them go without realising it and move on so soon. I loved Luca dearly, he would always be in my heart but I was also afraid that if I let something happen between me and Sin he would be in danger. Torben loved to kill anyone I ever cared about, I was terrified Sin would be next.

My growling stomach snapped me out of my thought. I looked around the room for blood remembering Sin drinking. I found it on the table next to his empty glass. I grabbed it and walked over to the bed closer to the door. I greedily drank the blood in one go, not realising how hungry I was. Sin emerged from the bathroom only seconds later, wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. I couldn’t help but look at his body. Water droplets glistened on his skin, some of them slowly rolling down. Just as I realised I was gawking, tore away my eyes, glueing them to the empty glass I held in my hand.
