Chapter 16 | Knowledge

It’s been a week since I was taken to the Ambrose estate.

Julian ignores my existence. I’m not allowed on his floor, not allowed to any meals he wants with his sons, and under no circumstance am I allowed to have sex with any of them.

At least, that’s what Julian says. Blade hasn’t tried to be intimate with me and he’s the one around me the most. We train every day, or well… night because that’s when the boys are normally awake. He says I’m getting better, I tell him that I think he’s trying to kill me and he laughs at me.

Adam seems to be cautious with me. We’ve bonded over books. He brings me a new one every couple of days that he thinks I’ll like. But otherwise, he seems to be uncomfortable with my presence.

Luther enjoys teasing me. He always calls me his toy, he flirts with me more when his brothers are around because he knows it gets a rise out of them, but the few times we’ve been alone he hasn’t tried anything with me. In fact, he maintains a respectful distance from me
