Chapter Twenty

“America,” a voice droned. “Time to wake up.”

I groaned and turned over and then realised that the towel I had wrapped around me had fallen off and a flimsy sheet was the only thing covering my body.

“Oh my God! Tristan,” I gasped, sitting up in bed, lifting the fur blanket to cover myself.

“Oh, come on, I thought we were at the stage in our relationship where we’re ready to share.” He grinned, still perched at the end of my bed.

“What is wrong with you?” I gaped but felt the grin forming on my lips.

Darn it.

“Come on, I’m on babysitting duties this morning, and we have to get our moody little mortal princess to school.” He smirked. “Ravenna has left some outfits for you. Let’s try our best not to let Victoria destroy those, they’re couture.”

“Uhh, Victoria,” I sighed, allowing myself to fall back into the soft bed.

“In the grander scheme of things, not the most villainous female we’ve come across of late,” Tristan added, walking to the wardrobe.

“Why do you date her?” I asked as Tristan grabbed two items from the closet.

“Do you really want me to answer that question?” he replied, walking back toward the bed, his brow raised.

“Can you maybe just not be here?” I moaned, covering my eyes with my hands.

“Come on, America, most girls would be grateful to have me in their bedroom in the morning.”

“Yeah, that’s before you open your mouth though,” I said, now smirking at him.

“Here, wear this,” he said, and he threw the black pants and top on the bed.

I glared at him for a moment. “I’m not getting undressed in front of you,” I said, and he grinned.

“No, but what wouldn’t I bet that you would be okay with getting undressed in front of Blake,” Tristan replied, his smile so wide I could see every one of his teeth.

My mouth fell open and my cheeks burned red hot. “Wh—no, I—can you just leave?” And then it dawned on me. “You can read minds.”

“I most certainly can but not just minds, I can read your inner most desires, America.” He smirked. “And in case you haven’t figured what those are yet, they start with a ‘B’. I’ll be waiting outside.” He cackled as he walked across the room and closed the door behind him. I wanted the bed to swallow me whole.

“Evelyn,” Ravenna’s voice ventured as the bedroom door creaked open. “You ready to—oh, you’re so not ready to go,” she said when she saw me still sitting up in bed. “You okay?” She walked up to the bed and sat down on the edge.

“I’m fine, Tristan, he just—” I was too embarrassed to even tell Ravenna what he had said.

“Ah, he regaled you with his little theory that you’re besotted with my brother?” Ravenna replied immediately and casually.

“I am not besotted,” I protested immediately. Ravenna fought a grin and looked away from me and down to the ground.

“Well, besotted is a slight exaggeration I suppose,” she said while trying her best not to laugh.
