Chapter 12

Cecil was once again watching him from his usual spot at the island. Sin was standing at the stove and could feel the man’s gaze on his back. The lecture he had given Cecil after leaving the castle had created a silence between them that was unusual. It was tense.

Honestly, Sin did not enjoy giving lectures, less so when it pertained to Cecil. But, really, to swear in front of a baby. Though he may have been harsher than he had intended, his mind stuck on Jayden’s words. Was he being a fool?

“Are you still mad?” Cecil asked.

Sighing, Sin laid the spoon down and turned around. “I was never mad, Cecil. Just frustrated. Mischief is one thing, swearing another. However, interfering in such a private matter…you could have caused unnecessary problems.”

Hands gliding across the smooth granite counter, Cecil looked up at him and innocently said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Sin snorted and crossed his arms. “You know exactly what I’m talking about, Cecil,” he scolded.

Huffing, Cecil looked away. “Fine!” he snapped. “I knew what I was doing. I shouldn’t have antagonized Benji for my own entertainment. I’m sorry. Happy now? But seriously, what is wrong with you? Are you even normal?”

“What?”

“Why didn’t you yell? I mean, come on, anyone else would have.” Cecil eyed him. “Are you on chill pills or something?”

Eyes widening, Sin sputtered, “I assure you, I am not on drugs. I just see no point in screaming. Not that I do not have a temper. I do, and at times I can be quite vicious, but more often than not releasing it solves nothing. It is more likely to aggravate the situation. You know what you did was wrong, there is no point in dwelling on it. Though, you do need to apologize to Benji.”

To that, Cecil said nothing and Sin went back to cooking dinner.

He had just mixed in a bit more cayenne pepper when Cecil asked, “What are you making? It smells good.”

“Chili,” Sin said with a smile. “Would you mind taste testing it for me?”

With a shrug, Cecil mumbled, “I guess I could.” Hopping off the stool, he walked over to stand beside him.

Sin carefully scooped up a bit of the substance. Hand hovering underneath it, he blew softly to cool it down before holding it inches from Cecil’s lips.

Cecil’s cheeks flushed, but he leaned forward and took a bite. When he pulled back, he licked his lips. “Tastes good, but it could be a bit hotter.”

“Hmm, then it is perfect,” Sin hummed.

“What? Why did you even bother asking me if you weren’t going to listen?”

“Oh, but I am, you prefer a kick to your food. Most of the group does not. If I make it hotter, they will not eat it. I’ll make sure to put out a small dish of cayenne pepper so you can make it to your liking.”

“And you would know I like spicy food, how?” Cecil asked with narrowed eyes.

Sin let out a bark of laughter. “No need to get suspicious, Cecil, I am just observant.
