thank you for reading!
~ MILENA ~He drops me off at an underground office building, once again an unspoken gesture of trust. I don’t miss the way his uncle watches me, and I pass the time doing the same. Staring blatantly back at him. But at least he didn’t refuse me entry, showing that he respects Zion’s decision, even if he doesn’t like it.Xander’s at the computer, multiple screens are set up as he tries to work on the code.“It would help if either of you knew what the code is for. This is pretty much not giving me anything to work with. I’ve tried to look for similar codes, but right now I’m not coming back with anything. It seems to be a code for something unique.”“Mhmm, I do agree with that, but I don’t know. I don’t know what it can be. We had nothing of importance or anything like a family heirloom. Listen, what about safe deposit boxes? It can’t be a code or serial number to a location or something either?”Xander shakes his head as my attention snaps back to the man sitting in the dark on the ot
~ MILENA ~“You two slept in. Want coffee?” Zaia asks, a smile on her lips when Zion and I finally came downstairs. My entire body is still humming with pleasure. I don’t think anything I witness there will change my opinion on what I know I heard. There’s no name on what we are… but what happened this morning changed things.“Yeah, coffee would be great,” I say as I walk towards the coffee machine, my entire body is aching and I’m paranoid that my top might not cover the hickeys he’s left all over my neck.If there’s one thing I can say about Zion King, it is that he is a damn beast in bed. One that will have you screaming his name again and again.“You sit; I’ll make it,” Zaia says to me.I would argue but I could do with sitting.“So, where’s everyone else?” Zion asks as he takes out a loaf of bread and pops four slices into the toaster as if it’s just another morning and that he didn’t just come down a few hours later than he should have.“Well, Sia left this morning, Xander’s work
~ ZION ~I didn't want to sleep that night, in fear of missing this moment. Seeing her beside me, fast asleep and so peaceful… This moment is precious. When I finally succumbed to sleep, I slept better than I had in years, with her in my arms, just like we used to sleep years ago.I'm awakened by my phone ringing. Cursing inwardly, I look around before spotting my phone on the bedside wireless charging port and grab it. “Yeah?” I answer; it's Cillian.“I didn't think you'd be asleep at this time. Should I be worried?” He's always been annoying, but today his dry sense of humour just seems more obvious.“Why did you call?” I ask, looking down at the top of Milena's head of curls. I lean closer, inhaling deeply. Fuck she smells good…She wriggles against my morning wood and I bite back a groan.“You were right, the men were without a doubt bribed, we saw some exchanges taking place with family members and with these men prior to the attack. We have CCTV footage and some pretty decent ph
~ MILENA ~It’s a few hours later, and we’re both trying to think back on our time with Milo but we’re drawing a blank. “I don’t think it would be with me,” I say, carrying the mugs of coffee over to him. We had snuck down to the kitchen of the King mansion, everyone seems to be asleep but we are keeping our voices down just in case. “So then what do you think?” he asks me as he slices the cheesecake he had taken from the fridge.“Well if you two were really as close as you think, maybe he's entrusted that to you; he did tell you to take care of me, right? Maybe he thought you were smart enough to find it?” I point out mockingly.“That’s possible… but I'm drawing a blank.” He sighs, massaging the back of his neck.“Long day?” I ask as I walk over to him and slide onto the stool next to him and massage the back of his neck. “Damn your muscles are all tensed up.”“I'm used to it, I don’t really get a good massage anymore.” He smirks suggestively and I roll my eyes. “I spoiled you too
~ ZION ~I step into my bedroom which I haven’t used since she came back into the picture, looking around. It smells of her and that makes it even better. I smile faintly. I can hear the shower running. An image of her naked enters my mind. I wouldn’t mind joining her…I glance at the shower door before I start to undress. I walk over to my shelf, unbuckling my belt and pause, my eyes falling on the picture frames. The pictures are replaced by the ones I had hidden behind them, the scenery images are instead propped up beside the frames. My heart races as I glance at the bathroom door.Did she do this? Obviously… she knows me too fucking well… I walk over to the bathroom. The door will be unlocked because she always had a thing about locked doors…I try the handle and sure enough; it clicks open, and I’m met with a waft of steam.“You knew I was in here.”I glance at her. Her back is to me, her wet hair reaching her lower back. My eyes dip to her ass and my cock hardens.“You should ha
~ MILENA ~The rest of my stay was good aside from the tension with Sia. She didn’t tell me anything more, simply pleading for me to let her deal with it and not tell Zion. So I agreed I wouldn’t for now.Zion and Roman are returning today. They ended up staying an extra night as one of the men was found dead within the prison. Although they first said it was his own doing, Zion didn’t think so. And I don’t either. I don’t know the latest, but I hope Zion’s figured something out.I place the plates on the table, trying not to make a sound as I place them on the embroidered placemats.“Thank you, Milena.” Zaia smiles. She’s the one who cooked. I simply offered to help lay the table. I don’t think that’s anything to thank me for, but I smile graciously.“Thank you for allowing me to stay and being so hospitable. I really appreciate it,” I say. “Despite being human, you welcomed me into your home and made me feel like I’m one of you.”She pauses and smiles. “You are part of this family, a
