Killian raised his head. When he saw the beautiful woman in front of him, he raised his brows. Because he never thought that Inez would change her appearance to the point that even he would have a hard time recognising her.
The woman in front of him was elegant and like a pixie, while Inez was like a ball of fire. Fiery and hot, though she didn’t have the elegance that she was portraying at the moment, she made it up for by her sarcastic taunts and witty persona.
And honestly, Killian preferred that side of her.
"Well, you should take a look at your drawer," he winked at her with a cheeky smile. "Who knows? You might be missing something?"
Inez narrowed her eyes and looked at him. "No, you didn’t."
When the lycan simply smiled at her, she stormed into her laundry room and found out that she was not missing anything. Annoyed with herself and the liar outside, she strode back into the corridor. "Haha, very funny."
"It is your fault for believing me," Killian curled his lips behind his coffee mug. "How come you remembered that lycans are known for stealing but not lying? Anyway, I don’t need to steal anything from women; they usually leave it as a souvenir for me."
Inez rolled her eyes for the tenth time in just an hour; she crossed her arms in front of her bosom. "If you are done, then I guess we can leave?"
Killian set down the coffee mug and said, "Sure. Just let me put this coffee mug in the dishwasher." After speaking, he turned to walk down the stairs and climbed down.
Inez watched him go with a frown on her face; she couldn’t understand what was going on with the lycan. From his flirtatious actions to his taking her along, Inez really couldn’t understand what he was thinking.
Seeing her frown, Killian said to her, "Don’t think too much. I am not your enemy, Inez." His voice was soft, low and soothing. "I am not going to harm you like the others, so you can rest easy around me."
Could she?
"How can I even trust you?" Inez said to him with a raise of her brow. "Even my own mate had discarded me when I needed him the most."
"Believe it or not, I won’t let you down," Killian said to her with a smile. The woman might not know it, but never, not even once, did he have such an idea. She might not be willing to trust him at the moment, but Killian was certain that he would one day win her trust. No matter how many walls Inez had built around her, he would wriggle through them.
And what after that? A little voice in his head asked.
Yeah, what after?
Killian shook his head, not wanting to think about that question just yet.
"Let’s go," he said to Inez, who walked down the stairs in the high heels that she didn’t find comfortable and yet she could move in them with efficient grace. It must have something to do with her being a siren. She must be built to gain and attract the attention of men.
The two of them walked to the parking lot, where Killian heard the sound of a wrapper crinkling. He turned to look at Inez, who was holding a pack of chips, and he snatched it from her right away.
