Nephilim and the Nun novel Chapter 32

Quinn:

After getting rid of the dead bodies of the gunmen, we took all of our valuables and teleported back to my home.

We appeared into my room with Rhea holding onto me tightly.

"Where are we?" She asked, glancing around the darkroom nervously.

The windows were locked with curtains down, preventing light from illuminating the room. The little that filtered in made it dim to human eyes.

"My home" 

At my response, her thudding heart calmed and she released a deep breath. Releasing her grip on my arm, she walked towards the windows to open them and move the curtains aside.

"Don't" I ordered before she could get to the window.

She turned towards me, raising her brows in question.

"You don't want to risk getting caught".

Her shoulders slumped in frustration but she stepped away from the windows, her gaze drifting to my king-sized bed.

"Get some sleep" It was barely dawn. Had it not been for the disturbance of the gunmen, we'd have still been in bed.

Giving me a nod, she climbed into the bed and pulled the covers over her. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was out cold.

I watched her for a while, having the urge to move to her and thug the stray hair covering her face to her ears. 

Exhaling a gush of air, I got to work, returning my suitcase of clothes to the closet. Thereafter, I stripped off and joined her in bed.

A few hours later, I woke up to see Rhea wrapped around me. She was still dressed in my shirt that she'd worn to bed the previous night. Her head was on my chest, her blonde hair splayed on me. Reaching out to her face, I moved the hair away to reveal her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful sleeping, with her lips formed into a natural pout.

I traced her lips with my thumb then I moved it slightly to her face before pulling my hand away. I laid in bed for a while longer before getting up.

When I climbed out of bed, I walked towards the windows to peek outside. It was midday already. The sun was high up in the sky with people moving about their daily jobs.

Stepping away from the window, I sat on the bed and got the remote to the TV compartment. I needed to check the security cameras to know if I'd had any visitors while I was away. With Rhea still sleeping and her soft snores filling my ears, I pressed a button on the remote and the wall shifted inside revealing the tv. I turned it on and began to check the camera footage for anything unusual but I found nothing. The house was as clean as I'd left it.

Turning off the tv, I closed the part of the wall housing it then moved to the kitchen in search of food. Luckily for me, there were still a few foodstuffs in the fridge that could be used to make a decent meal. I prepared a meal for two and was dishing it when she walked into the room.

I felt her gaze on me before turning to see her. My eyes landed on her but her eyes were somewhere else. I traced them to see they were unashamedly ogling me in just boxers. I had forgotten to pull on sweatpants.

"Like what you see?" I asked, smirking.
