***

Aria popped the grape into her mouth. She chewed the sweet fruit eagerly as she picked at the tray of food. She was starving from not having eaten yesterday. She heaped more fruit onto her plate, then some breads and meat. There was so much, and it all looked so good that she didn’t know where to start. She tossed a handful of grapes into her mouth as she made her way to the window seat. She hadn’t read in over a week, she’d missed it and was eager to continue with the story, but she planned to wait for Braith to come back. She was worried that she would miss something, or would get something confused when she read on her own, even though he’d said she was making good progress, and was doing well on her own.

Truth be told, she simply enjoyed curling up next to him and listening to the deep rumble of his voice as he read with her. She stared out the window, rolling the fruit around in her mouth as she thought over the implications of that admission. Had becoming a blood slave caused her to completely lose her mind?

Was she actually beginning to have feelings for a monster? Did she have feelings for one of the creatures that she had hated and fought against her entire life? That was crazy, it was simply insane. It couldn’t be possible, it really couldn’t.

But she truly believed that she was, and she didn’t understand any of it. She had thought that he’d turned against her. That he had purposely set Lauren on her as punishment, but he hadn’t. Not only had he not known that Lauren was abusing her, but once he’d found out about it, he’d been attentive and caring, not to mention fiercely protective and worried about her safety.

And then he had kissed her.

That kiss had almost been her undoing. She thought back to the kiss she’d shared with Max, it had been sweet and kind and it had left her feeling safe and warm. Braith’s kiss hadn’t left her feeling any of those things. It had left her completely bewildered, on fire, and longing for more. Longing for so much more. She ached for him to hold her, and kiss her, and touch her forever. Yet it wasn’t possible, none of it would ever be possible.

She chewed on a piece of cheese as she watched the sunlight play over the gardens. Though she didn’t think he was, she knew there was still a possibility that he was playing with her. That he was toying with her emotions only to make her breakdown even more pleasurable in the end. But if that kiss was a sign of anything, she thought it was definitely a sign that he wouldn’t purposely be cruel or mean to her.

She just didn’t know exactly what he was going to be to her. She was far from certain of anything these days. A few weeks ago she would have been terrified by this realization; she was surprised that she wasn’t terrified now.
