Mercy on my Soul

TWENTY-SEVEN

Silas's P.O.V

I get out of my car with a heavy sigh and look down at my keys for my house key. I take a few steps towards my front porch before I noticed someone on it. I look up to see Flora standing on my porch. She gives me a small smile. "I hope I'm not interrupting you or anything," I give her a quick look over to see she was wearing a short dress that hugged her nicely, and her makeup was done but not too dark. She looked nervous as she played with her phone in her hand. 

"What do you want?" She frowns a bit. 

"I heard that you and Azura went missing and I got worried. Then Quill gave me a call and I wanted to make sure you were okay. I've been waiting here for over an hour." I run my hand over my face with a heavy sigh. 

"I have had a long day. I'm not dead yet so if you are worried about your safety then don't," She looks away from me and gives me a small smile. 

"I'm glad you are okay," She takes a step down the steps and I grab her arm slightly. She looks at me. 

"Why did you come here?" She takes a deep breath. 

"I really was worried about you. I mean you are the first guy since Ryder that has shown me any kind of kindness and it feels nice. I was hoping that we could be friends. I don't really have many of those these days." I look her over again before looking back at her. 

"You came here dressed like that hoping to be friends?" She gives me a small smirk. 

"Well more or less but it's obvious that you aren't that type of guy so," I look at my front door before looking back at her. I grab her hand and walk up to my steps. I open my front door and let her in. She looks around. "I like your home," I nod as I take off my jacket. 

"Yeah, it's better than sleeping in a hotel," She nods. 

"Yeah, it is," I look at her. She looks at me like she was nervous. I smash my lips on hers and she kisses me back instantly. I take a step forward causing her back to be pressed against the front door closing it. My hands go on her waist as hers go on my button-up shirt. I slide my hands down her waist and down her ass to her thighs. I reach the end of her dress and slide up as I pick her up. Her legs wrap around my waist and her arms wrap around my shoulders. She pulls away from the kiss taking a deep breath but I kiss her neck. "It's been a long time since I slept with someone," She breathes. I pull back and look at her confused. 

"Did you not want to have sex?" She rolls her eyes. 

"I came here for sex," I look into her eyes. 

"You do realize this will mean nothing to me, right?" She snorts. 

"You are in love with Azura and I'm not over Ryder. This means nothing to me too. Just don't stop," I kiss her again as I move us to the living room and set her on the couch. I break the kiss and stand up. "Where are you going?" 

"To get a condom," She shakes her head. 

"You don't need one," I narrow my eyes. 

"I'm not trying to get you pregnant," She lets out a dry laugh. 

"Well that's a relief because I can't have kids," I give her a small nod. 

"Are you sure this is what you want?" She sits up and lifts up my shirt kissing my lower stomach. Her eyes go on mine. 

"I haven't been touched by a man like this in a long time. It doesn't mean anything fine but I want this," I lean down to her and hover over her. 

"Weren't you with Zane?" She swallows harshly.
