We didn't stop the car. Not once. We drove straight through for almost nineteen hours. We just wanted to get away from Cohen. We just wanted to get back home. 

The second our car entered Kallihan, I felt like I was breathing freely again. I was home. 

"We're going to my place" I looked to the side.

"Why not the Palace?" he ran his hand through his hair, keeping his eyes on the road. 

"I don't want to meet anyone right now. I told Nathaniel to text Ezra and tell him to meet us tomorrow morning." 

"Hmmm" he glanced over at me, "so you basically told everyone not to disturb us" he smirked at me. 

"No. That's not what I meant Axel" I tried to not look at him.

"Okay" he turned to fix his eyes on the road, without uttering another word. 

I hated this.

I hated the effect he had on me. Especially after last night in the kitchen. My body was as if it was still frozen in that state of pleasure, still begging for a release, still craving that pleasure. Everytime he touched me or even put his hand on me, I felt as if I was going to explode. 

I kissed him way too many times, hoping that would suffice, but it didn't. It just made things worse. I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible. My house was closer. The Palace would be another two hour drive and that would be too much strain on my body. 

We pulled into the parking lot of my building and I felt a wash of relief over me. The car came to a stop and I wasted no time jumping off. 

I stood up straight and got on my tip toes to stretch my legs some more. Axel got off and looked around at some of the men passing by, going into the building. 

"They stay here?" he gave me a questioning look.

"Some of them. Some are just here for work." I began walking towards the entrance.

"How many vampires stay in this place?" he walked beside me. 

"Not alot. Just inner circle are allowed to live here. That too on the lower floors." I hit the elevator button, waiting for it to come down.

I looked at Axel in the reflection of the door. He was staring grimly at something. I turned to look in the direction of his gaze. There was nothing there. But I knew what was on his mind. That's where he practically killed me the night we first met, at least temporarily.

The elevator door opened and I got in, he was still looking in that direction, as if he replaying it in his mind.

"You killed me. I didn't die. Get over it" i spoke in a sharp tone to draw his attention.

He gave me an annoyed look and walked in, hitting the button for the last floor, leaning against the wall.

"You're very sensitive Sage" sarcasm dripping from his words.

I furrowed my brows at him and shook my head. There was nothing to say about it. Not like I was actually dead. 

The elevator ride went by in silence.  A tense silence. There was a tension filling the air, neither of us had anything to say anyway.

The minute the elevator door opened to my floor, I realised what I had just done.

I brought Axel Cassius to stay the night with me.
