Chapter Ten

Between a Dream and Reality

A dream that’s more of a memory than a dream drowns me that night. It pulls me under until I’m not sure what’s real and what isn’t.

It’s so familiar his scent of warm cinnamon and hot embers consumes me. Glittering crimson eyes shine down on me as I recall the last time I ever saw Sinister.

“I hate myself.” It’s a whispered confession that sinks right through my heart. “I hate that he hurts you, and I hate that you stay.” His voice is steady as it fans across my skin. He never knew that his brother literally owned my soul. “But most of all, I hate that you won’t let me help you.” Sinister’s palm skims over the bruise along my cheek, and my insides twirl recklessly from the feel of his touch against my skin.

I was always like that. My nerves could never withstand his nearness. Until very recently, Kreedence’s brother was the only man alive who ever made me feel this way. And I was too stupid to ever realize what that meant.

The sharp angles of his handsome features capture my attention as I stare up at him. His frame towers over me, but he leans into me to close the space between us.

My palm skims along the smooth inking lines twirling down his arm, and a sinking feeling in my stomach tells me he isn’t real. Not even my dreams allow me to enjoy Sinster’s forgotten touch. I wonder if I’ll ever forget what it felt like to love him.

Even when I knew I shouldn’t.

This is it. This is the moment that I ruined my life.

And his.

We were always friends. Friends with too much unspoken emotion between them. But right now, in this moment, we forgot that we were supposed to only be friends.

He’s so close to me, breeding warmth and lust all through my core. He’s the only person who cares about me in my life. Or at least … he was.

I want to feel something. Past all the pain and anger, I want to feel what it’d feel like to have someone love me. If only just for a second.

My palms settle on his strong shoulders as I meld against his body for the first freeing moment in my entire life. His head lowers and he draws out every slow second of his lips brushing against mine.

It’s our first and only kiss that I’ve relived a thousand times within my dreams. It consumes me, and it makes me ache for that feeling of lust and love that I haven’t felt in five years.

Until last night.

The memory of Chaos’ hands on my body flickers through my thoughts, but then Sinister’s lips part mine, and I fall into the consuming feeling of his touch. Warm palms push down my spine until every inch of my body is aligned with his.

“Come with me.” His lips pull away from mine before coming right back. “Come with me tonight.” Another small pause for our kiss to tease one another.
