Breaking Resistance

Chapter 7

I make my way downstairs eventually, not needing Kain to come up and drag me downstairs again.
And although I won't admit it to him, I am kind of hungry.

I sit back against the kitchen counter as he cooks, trying not to admire the way this man moves around the kitchen.
"Are you just going to be cooking for me every night huh? My own personal chef..." I taunt

"Well if I let you cook, you'd probably poison me" he glances back at me with a grin.
"I wouldn't kill you... who'd clean up the body?"
I watch as his grin widens.

"So cruel to me princess..." he tsks
"You deserve it."
He turns around to face me,
"Is that so?"
"You're kind of the fucking worst. Even when you pretend to care about me. I don't buy the nice guy act." I tell him plainly, trying not to flinch away when he steps up inches away from me.
He must notice cause he pauses.

"I would never fucking hurt you Drea." He brushes over my cheek softly and I let out a soft breath.
"And I've never claimed to be a saint. I do bad things. If we're up to me, your little boyfriend would have suffered for days before I gutted him like a pig for what he did to you. And I'd do it with a fucking smile."
Fucking hell.

I don't know what to say as he looks down at me with eyes that show he means every word.
And I don't know why that makes me feel good.

I'm finally able to breathe again when he turns back to the food without another word.
I feel like I have to snap myself out of a trance.
God, why does he always have to do that?
Towering over me and saying shit like that?

He's fucking infuriating sometimes.
And even worse when he's not and I have to remind myself who I'm dealing with.

My train of thought is broken when Kain hands me a plate of food.
He starts eating and I go to sit on the other side of the kitchen table. I felt like I needed more space between us.
Having him close was making me loose my head...

"Really? I don't bite princess, well-" he grins
"I swear to god I'll chop off your dick while you sleep Kain." I glare at him.
He just leans back, an amused smile on his lips as he looks me over.
"If you want my dick so bad you could  just ask" he smirks

God help me- I'm going to loose my mind
"Fucking hell- I need to get out of this house" I groan, rubbing my head.
"Oh and I was thinking I have been just the most fantastic host, why leave so soon?" He tilts his head to the side with a smile.

"It's too fucking crowded in here. Can't even breathe." I sigh, sipping some water.
"There's 9 bedrooms in this house and I have nearly 3 acres of land princess" he raises a brow.

"Yeah well your ego seems to take up every room in this damn place. It's exhausting." I tell him, and a deep laugh comes from his chest.
"You're one to talk there princess running around here thinking you're better than me just because I'm a criminal."

"No, it's because you're an asshole" I smile sweetly, getting up.
"Mmhm that's it then"
He comes behind me as I wash off my dish, his arms coming on either side of me to cage me in.

I can feel his warm chest pressed against my back and my anger begins to grow.
I try and turn around but he won't let me move.
"I fucking hate you" I spit out, trying to get him off me.
"I know. Turns me on." He smirks as I shove him off me, hearing him laugh as I head upstairs.
God- I can't do this

My brother told me to give him a chance but I just can't. I can't fucking stand this man.
He infuriates me like nobody else.

I close my bedroom door behind me, going to take a shower and clear my head.
I had a few last things to get done before my classes tomorrow.

I've actually started to look forward to them now that it means I can be out of this house for a while.
Away from Kain and his obnoxious comments, away from him invading my personal space all too much...

•••

I was lucky enough I didn't have to see him again when I left for classes the next day.
I made my way to my first course, sitting in the back of the lecture hall as the professor begins.

I open up my backpack to get out my laptop when I realize it's not there.
Fuck.

I was so fucking distracted by getting out of the house quickly without seeing Kain I didn't even grab my laptop.
I sigh softly,
I can't believe this shit.

I'm already here so I just decided to go through the rest of my classes without it.
I'd have to spend hours later looking over the lecture slides and taking notes...
Fuck my life.

I do the best I can to pay attention as the professor drones on, trying to get something out of being here today.
About half an hour in I glance over cause I see a guy go and sit next to me.
Wait.

Fucking Kain.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I whisper at him, trying not to draw attention to us.
"Shh" he grins
"How did you even find me? Do you have my schedule or something?"
"Something like that..." he takes my laptop out of his bag, offering it to me.

"Thought you might need this." He grins
"Did you look through my stuff? I can't believe you-"
"I believe what you're trying to say is thank you." He smirks
I roll my eyes
So fucking typical.

"Ok you gave me my laptop. Now you can leave." I tell him, starting my notes.

"Nah I think I'll stay for the rest of this... what is this? Organic chemistry?"
I scoff
"Good luck trying to understand any of it."
He looks over at me with a confident smirk,

"You'd be surprised what I can do when I set my mind on something"
