The Turning

Part 2

I woke up with a thumping headache and clogged up throat. My eyes were heavy and blurry thanks to all the tears that had built up from last night. The pillows under my head were fluffy and thick, but even their presence didn't make my sleep any more peaceful. I rolled over onto my side and was surprised to see a guy fast asleep beside me. His light rhythm of breathing made me relax as I studied his features. His blonde hair was perfectly gelled even though he had probably been sleeping for hours, and his toned arm lay on top of the covers. I panicked as I watched his eyes flicker open to study me. He cracked a smile which nearly made me faint it was that perfect. He reached out and tucked a piece of stray hair behind my ear which made me grin like a goof. Then I suddenly came up with all these questions in my head that I needed to know the answers to.

"What am I doing here?" I asked him

He sighed. "It's complicated."

God, his voice was so deep and sexy too.

"I can deal with complicated."

He laughed. "Kieran did mention that you liked to get your own way."

I lowered my eyes at the sound of Kieran, and all the memories came flooding back. He had tried to kill me. But I had no idea why I had tried to run away from him, other than the fact that I didn't completely trust him yet.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring him up."

"It's fine. Where is he anyway?"

"Downstairs probably."

I nodded in understanding.

"Wait, why am I sleeping with you?"

He smiled a little. "I was scared that Kieran wouldn't think and he would try to do something to you again."

My eyes genuinely started to water at this point. He was so cute, he had just met me and he was already looking after me. Then it all became clear. He must have been the one who picked me up and carried me here last night.

"Thank you." I smiled

We just looked at each other for a while longer until he got out of the bed and walked over to the window. He was just in his boxers and I felt my cheeks go bright red as I felt my eyes glued to his wonderful body. He looked back at me.

"You like what you see?" He smirked

By this point my face must have been beet root red. I hid my face under the covers until his cheeky face popped in. He laughed at me for what seemed like forever, and I tried to look as angry as possible which didn't work since he had the most contagious laugh.

"Oh c'mon, you have to admit its hilarious." He managed to spit out

"What is?" I acted dumb

"How innocent and cute you are"

I threw a pillow at him, which he easily dodged. Jackass.

I got out of the bed and stretched. I felt really cold so I looked down to see what I was wearing. It was a matching red lace bra and pant set. I looked up to the guy, only to see him staring at my body.

"You like what you see?" I mocked while doing a little spin.

His face turned red and he nodded while quickly throwing some trousers and a shirt on.

"I'll leave so you can have a shower, I'll be downstairs." He said.

I nodded and walked into the bathroom.

"Wait!" I shouted after him

His head peeked round the door and he raised his eyebrows.

"What's your name?"

"Dean, I'm Kieran's brother."
