Chapter 17

Leander smiled at the guard as she pushed the double doors open and entered. Her eyes immediately fell on the occupant on the bed and made her way over to the bed. Grey eyes flickered open, blinked and focused before it filled with recognition. But that was fleeting as ice cold rage bled the grey eyes of color, leaving it almost see-through.

“Did he do that to you?”

“Yes and no,” Leander muttered as she walked around the bed to sit next to her brother. Even in his current situation with both his arms sticking out in casts, he looked well. “How're you feeling?”

Ingram's eyes flashed in anger. “Don't try to change the subject, Leander. Did he hit you?”

Sighing, she shrugged. “It was an accident. I crept up on him and he lashed out without knowing that it was me.” She watched as anger burned deep in her brother's eyes, spilling over to stain his cheeks dark red. “It would not serve you well to give yourself a heart attack, Ingram. It was an accident. He apologized and I forgave him.”

Ingram pursed his lips. “Why did you do that? Or maybe he was jammed so deep inside you that he scrambled your brains.”

Leander saw red and only came to her senses again when she felt the unexpected stinging in her palm. She looked from her palm to Ingram's rapidly reddening cheek. He was blinking back at her in shock.

“If you ever, ever talk to me like that again, I'll make sure to get someone to break both your legs too.” She rose from the bed and made her way to the door. “You speak to me like I'm some common whore, which I'm not, and until you apologize to me properly, I won't come back to see you.”

She slipped out of the door and waited until she was far away from the guards before she let the tears fall. Was it not enough that she already struggled inwardly with her own morals? Ingram should've known better than to spew such vulgarities her way. She rounded a corner and gasped in shock when she walked straight into a solid body. Before she lifted her eyes to see who it was, her body and senses already woke to the identity of the human wall.

Since returning to the city, she had been locked up in her room with Rebecca inspecting every inch of Leander's body before she scrubbed Leander in warm soapy bath. It had felt wonderful to soak in a warm bath, but all she could think about was the sponge baths Yoken had administered the past week. His big hands were not as skillful as Rebecca's, but they didn't lack in tenderness. She felt the big hands on her shoulders, but refused to budge when Yoken tried to hold her back so he could see her face. Instead, she leaned further into his body, inhaling his unique scent. She knew exactly when Yoken realized her need to be held, for his hands dropped from her shoulders to settle at her hips, gently pulling her closer.
