His Reign

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Finally dinner over Giselle was never happier to see her room. She shut the door a little too loudly. Tebias gave her one of his really looks. She hated being discussed, her father was brutal. He wanted to humiliate her.

"Your pissed because your father if worried about you?" Tebias asked her like he knew the entire story.

"No, I'm effing pissed because it's not his business to talk about it in front of you or anybody else. He is so... So damned insulting at times." She grabbed a pillow and yelled into it. Tebias the asshole laughed. He took the pillow off her and smacked her across her head.

"It's your own stupid fault for getting drunk. Drink in moderation." He said as he took off his top. Oh... Now what was she upset about? Her train of thought ebbing...

"Yes..." She had no idea what she was even saying. Her body reacted so badly to seeing him without a top on. If she thought he was sexy before, man seeing him shirtless made her question everything she ever assumed was sexy before Tebias.

"Earth to Giselle..." He said snapping her out of it. She frowned embarrassed at being busted ogling him. She felt her face heat up. He got in the bed and laid down with his arms laying above his head. Yeah she was drooling.

"Oh... I'll sleep on the couch..." He smiled.

"Why we slept in the same bed a few hours ago." He said making her feel stupid.

"Yeah, I know but Sheryl..." He gave her a confused look.

"Sheryl what?" He asked her acting all confused.

"I don't want Sheryl to think that I am trying anything. I like her." He really did look unsure of what she was saying.

"Why would Sheryl care?" He asked. That was harsh.

"You are together. I mean if I was with you and I found out that you slept in a bed with another woman, hell I would so lose my effing shit." She said nodding her head.

"Together? She told you that?" Giselle nodded.

"Yeah, I mean I also picked up that you two were together before she said anything." Tebias drew in a breath. He shook his head as if working out something in his head. "You are together aren't you?"

"No..." Oh...

"But Sheryl..."

"Is sick. I went out with her a while back. We are not together, said she needed help. I took her in, she has her own room, helped her as best as I could. She cannot let go."

"But you sleep with her right?" As soon as the words left her mouth she felt her face color. Not her business.

"Not anymore. When we were dating yes. Not since then."

"Oh... She made it out like you still sort of sleep together, she did say you were interested only when you wanted sex..." Giselle was confused. Really and truly confused.

"No, just helping her out. Have told her she should move out, she agrees but does nothing about it." Oh.. Well.

"Look, it's not my business... " She felt bad for Sheryl.

They left it at that. How strange that she would say they still had intimacies if they didn't. Maybe she was just trying to ward her away so she didn't get any ideas. Still she liked Sheryl and did not want to hurt her.

Reluctantly Giselle made her way into the bed. She turned out the lights. Only the moonlight shone through. Giselle lay on her side looking at Tebias. "Did he hurt you?" He asked her shocking that he would think to even ask that.
