CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“Did something frighten you last night, Claudia?” Viktor asked.

She looked confused. “No. Why would you ask that?”

“I heard you scream,” he said, and I could hear the laughter in his voice. “I just assumed that something had frightened you. Certainly you wouldn’t give in to my brother’s lecherous ways.”

Excerpt from Roman Draksel’s blog

“Dear God!” Aiden said after their waitress left the table. “I’ve never seen a woman your size order that much food. Of course, I’ve heard that great sex will make a woman hungry.”

She shot him a look meant to pass as irritated, but ended up smiling at him. In front of her there was an omelet, pancakes, a muffin, hash browns, and a double order of bacon. “The ceremony took a lot out of me. I’ll be eating like this for the next couple of days.”

“You could just help my ego out here and say it was the great sex.”

“I get the feeling that you don’t need any help with your ego.” Then she started eating with no shame at all as Aiden watched her intently. “If you don’t eat your own food soon, I may steal it.” She threatened with a grin.

Aiden just smiled and shook his head before taking a bite of his club sandwich. Tempest actually had a bit of food envy. It was just after one and after some debate she’d decided to have breakfast. Now she was wishing that she’d ordered a lunch item as well.

When he noticed her eying his sandwich, Aiden put a quarter of it on her plate.

“I’m sorry about your cousin,” Tempest said softly when she was a little over half way done with her food.

They hadn’t spoken much since leaving the house. Aiden knew that talking would bring up reality, and that was something he wanted to avoid for just a little while longer. It was obvious that Tempest didn’t want to deal with reality either since she still hadn’t called Ivy. Things had been great that morning, but he knew how tenuous this truce was. Food seemed like a safe topic. His cousin’s death seemed a little too serious. How do you tell someone that the death of your cousin didn’t bother you that much? It sounded kind of callous.

“I didn’t really know him very well.” he admitted. “I was born several years before Nathaniel, and my parents didn’t interact much with the rest of my family. My father and Nathaniel’s father had some sort of falling out long before I was born.” Aiden took a deep breath and confessed something he hadn’t planned to. “I was kind of jealous of Nathaniel. I mean he’s born years, actually decades, after me and treated like the prince of our family. I was expected to take orders from him.”

Tempest shook her head. “I can’t imagine you taking orders very well.”

“I guess that’s one of the reasons I didn’t know him very well. Maybe if I’d grown up around the family, I would have just accepted the hierarchy like everyone else did.
