Chapter Sixteen

“Innocent to wicked.” – Natalie

~Natalie~

I didn’t think I feared Jacin anymore, but I was wrong, my body responding to his touch shouldn’t make me get comfortable. I need to remember he had no problem killing that woman, I need to remember that he wanted me dead as well. I just don’t know if I’m going to meet the same end as that woman was going to.

I heard Jacin talking to her, his father’s whore, he called her. I wonder if it was my imagination or my eye sight going crazy, but I’m almost certain that those were horns coming out from the top of her head. How do I keep getting myself involved in situations like this? It seems I attract all sorts of creatures, no matter what I do.

She mentions some sort of throne, and his reign ending. What throne? Where the hell does my mind take me when I’m down there? And Jacin’s reign? I’m coming to realize these men know a lot more about me than I do about them. Which is going to have to change if I’m going to survive whatever the hell this is I’m going through.

I push the woman from my thoughts, just in case thinking about her too much will draw her closer to me. I really don’t need the extra headache today. But once the woman is pushed from my thoughts, thoughts of Jacin start to emerge. I remember the caress of his fingers, the smoothness of his lips, and the sharp sting of his bite that was oddly erotic. But I can’t allow my thoughts to go down that path. Once again, he left me like he just came out of a daze.

I wonder through the house, making my way into the kitchen. It always smells of freshly brewed coffee, yet I think I’m the only one who drinks it in this house. My phone starts to buzz on the counter in the kitchen and I move to check on it before I start to make some coffee. I check the caller ID. Faith.

“Hello.” I say to Faith over the phone. It’s a good thing she called, I need to extend my leave.

“Hello sweetie. How are you feeling?” Faith says to me. I really don’t deserve such a good friend like she is.

“I’m a lot better, but I kind of need to take some more time off, some things have come up, and I just need some time to deal with them.”

“Sounds serious, is everything okay?” Faiths worried voice coming through the phone.

“I don’t know, until I do, I just need some time to sort it all through. I hope that’s okay with you.”

“Of course, take as much time as you need. You taught me everything you know, so I should be able to handle the orders as they come through. Are we still on for tonight, I didn’t want to bother you while you were recovering, but I really hope you can make it tonight?” Faith’s voice growing lighter now that she is excited about something.
