Chapter 19

Elijah

After slowly propping the broom against the wall, I slump heavily to the bed. There was no way I was taking Annabelle on it. She came here looking for a fuck, so that’s what she got. I could see it irritated her that I treated her coldly, but it was the only way I could deal with it. I couldn’t push her away once she got her hands on me. The shock of seeing her flustered my thoughts. I should’ve left, instead I stuck around hoping she would come to me. Hoping that when she did, it would be like old times, except it wasn’t. I could barely look in her eyes knowing that I wouldn’t see any love for me in them. I couldn’t kiss her because that isn’t what she wanted. She wanted me to see to her itch and, like a fool, I did. Part of me wishes that hadn’t, but fuck if she didn’t feel good coating my cock in the way that no one else can.

I’ve missed it.

I miss her.

Even more so now.

It was a mistake and one that I am going to have to face the rest of the circle with, in shame for being so weak. Xavier is going to kick my ass and don’t even get me started on Killian. I think it was different for Drescal. He got away with it because he didn’t know.

Me?

Oh, I fucking knew exactly what I was doing.

“Hey,” Sid’s quiet voice makes me look up from staring at my boots. “Sorry, I’ve got nowhere else to go.”

“It’s okay. Come in. I figured with everyone going back to their own places tonight, you’d have to come here.”

“It’s weird. I haven’t had ‘my own place’ for a couple of hundred years. Unless you count the prison cell,” he says wryly.

“Well, you are always welcome here. The hounds seem to have taken a liking to you,” I say with a smile, always pleased when they find someone they can trust, especially when it’s someone as kind as Sid. I truly wonder how he got so misplaced in Admin when they gave him the job of Night Mare. It’s a complete mismatch.

“Sit,” I say and scoot over. “Sorry, there isn’t anywhere else…”

I cast a glance at the busted table which draws his eyes to it as well. “Oh,” he says and sits down. “Annabelle?” he adds quietly.

“Yeah,” I say with a grimace. “How did you know?”

“I can smell brimstone and ash,” he says.

I nod slowly, hesitating in saying what I must. “She came here looking for something and things…”

“You don’t have to explain,” he says, holding up his hand. “We all would’ve done the same.”

“Thanks,” I say, shooting him a grateful smile “Something tells me two Horsemen aren’t going to be quite so relaxed about it.”

He snorts in amusement. “Between you and me, I’m more scared of Xavier,” he chuckles.

“Same,” I reply, with a laugh.

We sit in silence for a few more moments and then I clear my throat. “You can have the bed.
