Forced love

Chapter fourteen

Chapter fourteen.
Katherine's pov:

I woke up with a cold feeling all over. I was no longer in his hold, no longer in his presence. It was strange to admit, but this night I had the best sleep in a long time. After the nightmare of course.

Indeed very strange to admit that—

I stretched and looked around in the room. I was alone. The bathroom too was empty, so I decided to take a bath.

I dried myself off and got ready for the day. Dressed in casual clothes and let my hair air dry. I had no idea how long I spent on all this, but long enough for someone to come and get me.

I opened the door and Alexander appeared outside. "Good you're awake." He stated. "We're eating lunch now." I nodded and followed him.

He was dressed in a black jumper and black pants and a silver chain around his neck. I swear, these people are too formal for me.

We met Ezra at a cafe just by the hotel and sat down to eat. "How'd you sleep?" Ezra asked starting the conversation.

I looked up from my plate and met a smirk. "Fine, you?" I asked slowly not sure what he was smirking about.

"Oh, I slept very good. Comfortable beds, don't you think?" He asked cocking his head to the side. "Easy to get comfortable in." His smirk widened

I shot him a glare. "Ok spit it out." I demanded.

He shrugged still smirking. "Say what you want to say." I said now slightly irritated. Alexander I noticed kept quiet not wanting to get involved. His eyes were glued to his plate.

"Silas seemed unusually happy today. That's just it." Ezra said at last.

"And you think I have any part in that?" I asked sharply taking a sip from my drink.

"Well, I know Silas. He's not usually happy, if not—," He cut himself off at the end, what started as a smirk turned into a big grin.

"What, what?" I asked loudly and confused.

"He wants to know if you guys fucked!" Alexander hissed not caring to keep quiet anymore.

My eyes widened. "God no! Why would you even suggest such things!?" I hissed as Ezra who's face sank as I answered.

"Silas turns well, you know...not so unhappy when he has fucked. That's just why I thought," Ezra answered smiling foolishly.

"Well we did not, so get that nasty thought out of your head before I puke." I said pushing away my food showing them I had lost my appetite.

"Remember Katherine, these people are dangerous. We are trying to get a friendship out of this meeting, so behave." Alexander explained as we walked arm in arm into the strip club.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine." We would be meeting the others inside. Silas and Ezra I mean.

I was wearing a short, tight, red and highly appropriate dress for a strip club. Something about the look Alexander gave me when we met up told me someone wouldn't be very pleased with it, but I did not care.

I was wearing red lipstick to match the dress and black heels who were already starting to hurt. But what don't a girl do to look hot?

As we entered it was more crowded then I thought. The music blasting and light in all sorts of colors flashing. All around stood little platforms where strippers danced in lacy lingerie. A male dancer caught my eye, but before I got a proper look I was dragged into a different room.
