Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 373

It wasn’t there either. 

‘Where’s the tube of ointment?” he came out and asked Kira. 

Kira pointed to a low table on her side of the bed. 

That was what he was looking for? 

He picked up the tube, squeezed it and daubed the green medicine over her bruise. 

“It might hurt a little.” 

He had to massage the medicine into her skin. 

Kira looked away, hiding a grimace. 

‘Why were you looking for it in the bathroom?” 

Austyn didn’t answer. 

He thought he might have left it in there. 

After applying the ointment on her last night, he’d 

gone into the bathroom to wash his hands. 

He’d left the tube on the nightstand, but when he didn’t see it there, he thought he must have misremembered. 

After all, he wasn’t quite himself last night. 

Did 

you come into the room while I was asleep?‘ Kira asked. 

The tube wasn’t on the nightstand when she went to bed, but it was there when she woke up. 

“I did.“Austyn looked up at her. 

‘Then why did you leave?” she blurted. “When I woke up this morning, you 

There was a faint trace of a smile on Austyn’s face. 

‘Are you saying you wish I’d stayed? With you?” 

were gone.‘ 

‘Of course not!‘ Kira snickered. 

1. ‘I’m not a masochist, Why would I want my tormentor to stay with me? To hurt me again?” 

She raised her right arm, presenting evidence of his handiwork. 

Austyn put down the tube. 

He looked straight into her eyes. “Do you have a mortal enemy?” 

Kira was thrown by the sudden change of topic. 

Georgina’s face immediately flickered through her mind. 

She hated her half–sister with a passion, but she didn’t think she’d want to see Georgina dead. 

Kira shook her head, ‘I don’t live in a comic book. I don’t have mortal enemies or archnemeses.‘ 

‘Then you don’t understand how much I loathe Liam Cane. The man, everything he touches, every person he associates with, is anathema to me. I consider it an act of betrayal for any of my people to be involved with him. Even if it’s just a conversation.‘ Austyn put both hands around Kira’s face, not allowing her to look away. 

‘But you did so much more than just having a conversation with him. You went out to dinner with him. You let him kiss 

‘I didn’t let him kiss me! Kira retorted. ‘He forced the kiss on me!” 

Austyn took a deep breath. 

you. 

Dov 

you- 

‘I know. Still, to see you standing so close to him, to see the two of you…Do you know how angry I was, and how mad I still am?” 

His face had darkened. 

Kira was reminded 

ed of the Austyn who held a knife against Liam’s throat. 

The same savage, murderous, on–the–verge–of–getting–unhinged look.
