His to Serve

Chapter Fourteen - Scars

I opened my eyes slowly, groaning as the light shone through the open curtains blinding me, for fucks sake, I could have prepared a little better last night instead of suffering this morning. I rolled over in the bed, pulling the covers up over my head.

However, as I began to fully wake up, I noticed there was a figure sat at the end of the bed preventing me from cocooning myself in my warm sheets. I lifted the knife quickly to defend myself as my eyes finally adjusted and I saw it was Brand sitting there calmly, as if he had been waiting for me to wake up, watching me quietly,

"Are you seriously going to kill me now? I thought you were going to give me a chance first?" he chuckled as I rolled my eyes putting the knife down and glaring at him,

"You must have a death wish sneaking into an assassins room, especially when said assassin doesn't thrive on interrupted sleep" I said as his eyes began to run down my body and I realised how little I was wearing,

I quickly lifted the sheets up covering body as he chuckled deeply, moving his heated gaze to my eyes,

I felt a shiver go through me as I felt my core tighten and I clutched onto the fabric for dear life, "Is there something that you wanted? Or are you bothering me in the morning for no reason? As I said, I don't do well when someone gets  in between me and my sleep" I mumbled rubbing my eyes as he smirked,

"Well there are few things I'd like really, but I'll just let you imagine that for now" he smirked looking me up and down again as I rolled my eyes, typical fucking men, sex seems to be the only thing ever going on in their little minds.

His eyes flashed quickly at that small movement, "Keeping doing that Lillian and I might not be able to control myself, and you may not be imagining for much longer" he said through gritted teeth as my stomach flipped and I looked away,

I bit my lip nervously looking away as he clenched his hands, his knuckles turning white, "that too Lillian, are you trying to set me off" he said as I turned my head to him clearing my throat, "Then leave" I spat back, "Why are you even in here anyway? If I wanted you to join me in the mornings I'm pretty sure I would have made that clear before" I said keeping my face blank as I kept the sheets up around my body,

"Well I was coming to wake you up, so that we could leave, but I then ended up watching you for a while. You do know you look very peaceful when you sleep, other than the obvious joy you are when you are awake" he responded as I glared, my blood beginning to boil,

"Get out" I said pointing to the door as I bit my tongue, "I'm going to get ready, so just go, leave me so I can dress myself in peace and still try to salvage my mood" I said glaring,

He smirked, sending butterflies through me as he didn't move his eyes burning into me as I scowled, "Go where Lillian? I do think I'm actually quite comfortable here" he said laying down on the bed as I shrugged "Fine, whatever stay there, I couldn't care less, just shut up so I can pretend you're not there" I said hopping out of the bed, suddenly realising how short this top was on me and the fact I was wearing nothing underneath,

His hungry eyes raked up and down my body as I stormed past him to the bathroom, knowing as I walked past him he could definitely see my ass. I gulped as I turned around seeing his eyes darken and his fists clench as I rolled my eyes rushing past the door,

"I'm so glad you're comfortable there, your highness" I mocked as I let my eyes rake down to his crotch, where the material was very visibly straining as he leant back smiling,

"I am as comfortable as ever darling" he said as I flicked my hair growling as I slammed the door behind me,

Breathing heavily I leant my head against the door, my body was tingling all over, I had never felt like this in my life.
