Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 155

The paper target less than five metres

away stood intact

Um.Kira tried to look around for the bullet

Did she hit a tree

Laughing, Damian took the Glock from her. The gun’s not loaded.” 

What?” 

There’re no bullets in it. What you did was dry firing.” 

Uh, why?‘ 

It’s your first time handling a weapon. I’m not going to give you a loaded gun. We’re just learning how to hold the gun and pull the trigger. If you want to learn how to shoot at targets, we’ll need another lesson.” 

Damian pulled back on the slide and showed her the chamber. See? Empty.” 

What about blank rounds? Kira asked. You know, like the kind they use in movies. A lot of bang, but no 

damage.‘ 

Damian shook his head. Like you said, blanks still create quite a bang. You’re not wearing earplugs. I want you to walk out of here in one piece, including your hearing.” 

Oh, I see.Kira nodded

Now, show me how you pick up a gun.Damlan set the Glock down on a long wooden table covered with handguns and pistols

Kira tried to recall what he taught her earlier

The sun was out in full force today

Kira was soon sweating 

Damian noticed Kira fanning herself with her hands. Let’s take a break‘ 

He led her to a shady spot under a majestic ginkgo tree, where a table and two chairs had been set up

An attentive waiter served drinks and cut fruits

Thank youKira nodded at him politely

be slaked her thirst with a glass of icecold lemon juice

Miss Hewitt, Damian spoke when she put down the glass, do you know a person by the name of Gideon Garner?” 

Kira’s hand froze midair 

There was a buzzing in her head

Did she just bear Gideon’s name

The lemon juice worked too fast, sending a chill into her bloodstream

The motion jolted her back to reality

She forced out a smile. I don’t know what you are talking about.” 

Demian kept his eyes trained on her face, which had gone pale

He offered a smile. Never mind. It was just a random question. Forget I ever asked.‘ 

Kira tried to forget it, but couldn’t

She was suddenly thirsty all over again

She licked her dry lips. May I ask why you wanted to know?” 

1/3 

He’s A Killer 

va 

Damian leaned back in his chair, twirling the unloaded Glock around his trigger finger like a cowboy. I know a guy called Gideon Garner. I happened to see a photo in his wallet once. It was of a young girl, taken some years ago. The girl bore more than a passing resemblance to you, and Gideon seemed to cherish that photo a lot. So I got curious.‘ 

Kira’s head was whirling

She gripped the edge of the aluminium table. Maybe I just have one of those faces. You know, Miss Average.” 

Damian handed the Glock to the waiter standing nearby

He stood up. Austyn must be getting impatient now. Let’s go.” 

Sure.‘ 

Kira followed him, her mind a mess

Where’s Giana?Kira asked

Austyn was leaning back in his chair, sans sunglasses

He didn’t look at Kira. She left.” 

To go where?!
