The Bad Ones

N O V E

Chris Galya as Cain Romero 😍😘

I wake up in Cain's bed a smile on my face. That... was the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.

I lay next to Cain my legs entwined with his playing with his black hair that's gotten longer since we met.

The sun streaming through the window giving the room a warm homey feel. Cain's arm pulls me closer in the bed and I sigh comfortably.

I never wanna get out of his bed. From what I've seen so far Cain isn't as bad as he seems. Intimidating and scary but not cruel.

A golden eye peeking out from under his eyelash causing me to smile. "Morning." I say my voice husky with sleep as he looks at me still half asleep. "Morning Rain."

His voice sending a shiver down my spine. He pulls me closer and I rest my head against his chest. I relax in his arms and we sit in a peaceful silence for a while.

"I'm sorry." Cain says surprising me with his out of the blue apology. I scrunch my nose in confusion. "Sorry for what?" He looks at me. "Sorry your brother is a douche."

I sigh, "It is what it is." He cups my face pulling new in for a mind-reeling kiss. "You don't deserve it." I look up at Cain who's on top of me.

He notices me looking at him. "I rather like this position." He smirks and I scoff. "In your dreams loverboy." "That's not what you said last night." His smirk turns into a full-blown shit eating grin.

I roll out from underneath him, gracefully walking into the bathroom. "You coming?" I ask a seductive smile on my face and Cain follows me to the bathroom eagerly. Too bad he's not getting any.

"That's just cruel kitten." Cain says in pain. I think I gave him blue balls. "It's your own fault." I tut making breakfast and he sits a the island in the kitchen.

The door swings open and Rafael strolls in. "Prepare for the awesomeness that is me." Rafael brags and Cain smiles. "You again?"

Rafe hold his hand to his heart dramatically. "I'm offended Cain. There used to be a time when you loved my visits."

"That was about 15 years back. The charm grew off the second time you came to 'visit'." Cain says with a eye roll and I laugh. Savage fucker.

Rafe spots me and does a double take. "You're still here?!" He asks astonished. "No shit." I say deadpan and Rafael ignores my comment.

"Have you at least bedded her man?" Rafael looks at us questioningly. I sigh and Cain raises a brow. "What do you think Rafe?"

"Figures." Rafe mutters and I hide my smirk. Oh how very wrong you are Rafael. "Back to the point. Why are you here Rafael?" I ask.

He shrugs, "I'm supposedly part of the surprise." I look at Rafe in confusion and Cain chuckles. "What surprise?"

"Not telling." Rafael says sing-song and I smack the back of his head. "Ouch!" He whines. "Cain! The blindfold!" Rafe orders and Cain roll his eyes wrapping the blindfold over my face. "Sorry kitten."

I sigh. "Let's get this over with."

After a long ass drive with Rafael and Cain I can finally breathe as Cain takes of the blindfold.

I open my eyes to a abandoned courtyard filled with rubble and growing weeds a dilapidated building surrounding us looking like something out of the woods.

"I'm confused." I state. "Why are we here Cain?" He smiles softly. "Follow me."

He grabs my hand pulling me behind him Rafael grumpily following behind us. Cain stops in front of a door pressing his thumb against the finger pad causing the door to open unceremoniously leading into what seems to be a small closet.

He hold his finger against his sinful mouth that's curling up into a smirk. "Wait here." He says slyly and I narrow my eyes at him. "What are you up to Romero?"

He just smirks walking through a metal door I never noticed. "Sup big boss!" "Cain!" "Not you again." "Finally something exciting." "Did you bring the asshat with you." "Can we meet the person yet?"

The voices say over each other. Ohh I'm meeting the team. I hear Cain's voice and I listen attentively.

"Guys meet Nightmare. Rain come on out." Cain calls rather relaxed and I have to laugh.

I step out of the closet with Rafael who's grinning at me alongside Cain. "This is my surprise?" I raise my brow. "I already know them Romero."

He rolls his eyes, "You we're with me for the last month I guess you deserved the surprise."

I roll my eyes. "I deserve the entire galaxy for putting up with your best friend." I shove my thumb in Rafe's direction causing Rafael to frown.

"I'm not that bad Mare!" Rafe protests and we purposefully ignore him. I look at the group in front of me probably wondering who I am.

A black haired girl pipes up. "How do you know us if we've never met?" I smile. "Cain really never told you about me." I ponder and a African-American guy talks next. "No shit Sherlock."

Cain saves me the effort and introduces me. "Everyone this is Raina Chase. The NightMare." I hear a few gasps but shrug it off.

"I know all of you already." I start by the guy next to Cain. "Oh, hey Oliver! How's Katrina?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes. "On another mission for her father."

I look at him sympathetically. "She'll be back. Don't worry." He smiles faintly. It's no secret that Mr. Mikhailov hates his daughter's boyfriend with a passion... unfortunately for Oliver - he is her boyfriend.

Next is a girl with blue hair that looks just like Halsey's in one of her videos. "Astrid Felix." I nod and she looks confused. "Wait how do you... "

I move on before she finishes. The black haired girl is next. "Sakura Kyoto." She nods. A fellow assassin.

The African-American guy looks at me. "Cameron Egan." I say and he's speechless. I raise my brow at Cain as if to say 'that's all?'.

He shrugs, 'Give 'em a chance kitten' written all over his face. I sigh, "Fine." The rest of the crew looks at us in confusion not understanding our exchange.

"Ah ha!" Rafael shouts not caring that everyone is looking at him in shock. "Cain you fucking liar!"

Cain says deadpan, "You made your own assumptions." I realise what they're talking about and facepalm.

"Seriously Rafe!?" I shout. Was he really talking about me and Cain NOW?!

Talk about bad timing.
