Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 670

show

She waited two whole hours and almost had a heat stroke

Austyn said nothing and retumed to his conger

Why didn’t you show up? Kirs couldn’t help but ask 

What?” 

We were supposed to meet up outside toneneral at twelve o’clock, I stayed there till two pm. You didn’t show.” 

Austyn spared her a glance

You made the appointment. I didn’t agree to it.

Kira had no comeback to that

There was no paint arguing with him

He was ment 

But it didn’t stop Kira from feeling, 4pple

shechurleder anger at the food and all the salmon with stabs from het lok 

In His Binay Qu 

After she polished off most of the soba noodles, Kira was slightly appeased

Maybe she wasn’t angry with Austyn; she was just hangry

Kira volunteered to clear the table

Then she did the dishes

She even swept the floor

But there was no more work to be done and she’d run out of ways to stall

Has Designs On Him 

She Has Designs On Him 

Austyn said, It’s time for you to head home

He swept his eyes over Kira’s face and preempted her objection

You are fed. You are no longer thirsty. And you are sober 

Kizhung her head, dejected

Are you really going to kick me out?‘ 

Austyn ignored the soft prick at his conscience when he heard her pitiful voice

Thave a fiancée, he said in a cold voice. I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding between us. It’s only proper forme to keep my distance from other women 

Expecially a woman who clearly had designs on him 

He shrugged on a jacket

“Idrive you home.” 

Kira was hurt but not surprised by hisattitude

This was his usual way of dealing with women who threw themselves at him

Austyn put people into circles 

Those in his inner circle could pretty much get away with anything 

But those who weren’t had to be prepared for the coldshoulder treatment

Like Rayleigh 

Austyn tolerated her shenanigans and little games, until she stepped over the line and tried to kill Kira 

Then she was banished from Stamford 

Kirs the actress onscreen a few times during the past four years

Kayleigh was no longer the Alister she once was

She had to take on supporting roles or even bit parts

And now Kita was getting spurned in the same way

She had to admice Austyn for his faithfulness, but she also hated that his devotion was directed at another woman

She spent the past four years tirelessly searching for him

He, on the other hand, spent the years with another woman

Kira struggled to hold back her tears

Do you really want me to leave

The uncomfortable feeling returned to his heart as Austyn looked at her redrimmed eyes

He was imitated by the fact that a stranger held so much sway over his emotions

He clenched his jaw

I believed I’ve made my feelings on that subject perfectly clear. I can’t allow a woman who’s not my fiance to stay in my apartment.” 

Kira sniffed

All right leave.” 

Austyn picked up his car keys from the coffee table. I’II drive you.” 

There’s no need. Kira shot out a hand to stop him. I can get a tad.” 

She stomped out of the apartment and banged the door shut after her

Silence returned to the living room 

Austyn remained where he was for a long while 

He was tempted to chase after her, but he checked himself

It was his decision to keep a wary distance from her, at least until he’d sought independent verification of her story

Kira Hewitt looked like a trustworthy acquaintance, but appearances could be deceiving 

Austyn touched the bullet hole on his left shoulder and thought of the various scars on his body

Then he lacked the door and went upstairs 

He got washed up and settled into bed

But sleep eluded him

The clock on the nightstand said it was eleven twenty, almost midnight

She Has Designs On him

She was a young woman from out of town

Austyn knew she wouldn’t get a tad on this street

She would have to walk for at least another five blocks

What if something happened to her

Austyn rejected that thought

Rinton was a pretty safe place with a low crime rate, especially of the violent kind 

She looked like she could take care of herself

She would be fine

Austyn got up, washed down two Ambiens with a glass of water and willed himself to sleep 

He woke up the next moming feeling more tired than before he went to bed 

His face in the mirror was pale and haggard

The sleeping pills were losing their efficacy 

His sleep was filled with bad dreams and incessant worry

His entire forehead throbbed as if someone was attacking it with a hammer

The pain subsided after he took a couple of sumatriptans prescribed by Dr Lawson, the neurologist

Austyn got washed up and skipped brealdast 

He was still massaging his temple with one hand as he opened the door 

Something fell on his leg with a dull thud

Austyn stepped back and gaped at the figure lying face up on the floor

Kira blinded war and sat up, still groggy

She yawned before registering Austyn’s presence

Morning
