Eira’s POV
It took me a long time under the shower to calm myself. When I came out, Roman wasn’t in the room, but he had placed my clothes for the day on the bed.
I felt relieved he wasn’t there after how horny I had acted—almost begging him for intimacy. It wasn’t like me, and now that I was back to my senses, I felt a little embarrassed.
I went to the bed to get my clothes. As it was starting to get colder, he was thoughtful enough to choose warm and thick ones for me—a sweatshirt and matching pants. Honestly, I liked them; they felt comfortable, soft, and warm. I used to wear such clothes every winter.
I wondered when he bought them. Then I realized it must have been that day when I was busy buying clothes for Raven—he had gone to the women’s section. He didn’t have to tell me what he got, but he had arranged them neatly in my wardrobe afterward.
Could he be any more thoughtful? Suddenly, my heart felt the warmth of his silent care. He had always arranged everything for me as if he was an expert in knowing what a woman needed. Maybe he had a girlfriend in the past six years. Did he?
Somehow, I didn’t like the thought of him having a girlfriend. He had marked me, and he was supposed to be mine now.
Was it my wolf, or was it me thinking this way? It was confusing.
I got ready and decided to go out. I had to check on Raven to see if he was awake and make sure he was fine. Last night, he had been in pain.
When I stepped out of the room, I was a little hesitant, thinking they all must know what happened between me and Roman. Lucian even saw us. I hoped they wouldn’t tease me—especially Rafe, who could never control his mouth.
To my surprise, everyone was busy with their work. When they saw me, none of them acted any differently than usual.
"Breakfast is almost ready," Lucian told me. "You can sit at the dining table till we bring it out."
I nodded quietly and walked ahead anyway. But my eyes searched for someone who wasn’t there.
Roman. Where was he? Only Lucian, Jason, and Rafe were here.
As I settled in the chair, Rafe came to sit at the dining table as well, while Lucian and Jason started bringing food to the table.
Though I avoided looking at Rafe, the bastard sitting across from me had his eyes fixed on me.
I let out a sigh and finally looked at him, as if asking what’s the matter?
He smirked and leaned forward to say something. "He’s gone to Kael’s room," he said in a low voice.
I hummed and glanced toward the staircase—but then realized he had caught me. Caught me for who I was really searching for. Kael and Raven weren’t here, but he knew I was looking for Roman.
"I’m waiting for Raven," I said, turning my attention to the dishes being brought out.
I picked up a toast and started eating, hoping to divert this bastard before he said anything more.
But why had Roman gone to Kael’s room at this hour? They usually came out around this time anyway.
Just then, I saw Roman coming downstairs—and my eyes instantly locked on him.
He was wearing the same color shirt as my sweat-shirt, perfectly fitted to his body. His ash brown hair perfectly styled, his expressions serious, his tall form looked eye catching the way he decended the stairs with his one hand tucked in the pocket of his trouser.
Why was I hitting with the realisation again and again that he was really handsome and I never noticed before. Maybe, his bullying always made me thought of him as a villain in my life.
But now I found myself unable to look away. Is it because the way we kissed a while before.
When I had kissed him, I was surely under some strange influence, but right now I was certain I wasn’t.
Then why... why did the sight of him still make my heart flutter?
Just then, Roman looked at me, and our gazes met.
Damn! I can’t take it.
I lowered my gaze and stuffed another bite of toast into my mouth, pretending I was eating.
I’m dead now. He’s got more things to tease me about. I just hope he won’t say something stupid and embarrass me in front of Roman.
My body’s in some weird phase, you bastard, I screamed in my mind.
So embarrassing.
Is my face still red?
