Chapter 23

“You can’t go to breakfast looking like that," Lachlan's voice was trailing after me with great concern. Concern that I didn't care about. I heard Lachlan's large gasps of air as if he was looking for words to say to me, but unfortunately for him, no words would stop me.

“He will be extremely disappointed if you arrive in this attire and not the ones that were laid out for you," Lachlan tried again.

This made me stop walking because he would be ‘disappointed’ in me. What a crock of shit. I turned on my heels and took a few strides to close the space between Lachlan and me. My pointer finger pressed into his chest and I looked into his dark eyes that were full of hatred.

“Let me tell you something, Lachlan. I couldn’t give two shits if he is disappointed in me. Maybe you both have forgotten that I am one of the most powerful beings in this world. He does not scare me and I will not allow him to make decisions for me. Is that clear?”

I tilted my head towards him in question anticipating his response. He leaned in close to me, and I realized that he towered over me in height and stature, but that did nothing to me. He wouldn’t lay a finger on me.

“Maybe you have forgotten, he is the other most powerful being alive.” He paused, smiling at me and pulling back. “This should be fun.”

He stepped around me walking towards the kitchen. I was so mad I wanted to punch the wall, but instead, I covered my face with my hands and let out a very small scream.

After composing myself, I was able to finally walk into the kitchen where I saw Eros perched on the stools at the kitchen island. The island was made of black matte steel and a large chunk of Sequin covered the top. I saw his place setting with food and another place setting next to him which I assumed was mine.

When he noticed I entered the room, his eyes quickly trailed every part of me, stopping at my neck. As I got closer, his eyes wandered to my chest and that’s when I saw his demeanor change, and I couldn’t help but poke the bear.

“Hello, mate. How are you this lovely morning?” I questioned him with a smug look on my face.

He let out a frustrated sigh and turned to look at his food, taking a bite of the fruit in front of him. Not wanting to look at me.

“You did not follow my instructions, Clara.”

I smiled at him and leaned my left elbow on the counter, turning my upper body to face him. “I guess I just didn’t hear them well enough.”

He laughed. A fake one, but a laugh, nonetheless. “No. No, darling. You heard them, but you chose to make your own decision instead.”

He slammed the fork down on the counter and turned his body to face me with his knees touching the side of my thighs.
