Nephilim and the Nun novel Chapter 33

Quinn:

I sat on a chair in his study, patiently waiting for him to return. I'd taken a tour of the huge mansion and it was empty. Finding my way to his study, I decided to wait for him.

A while later, I heard the sound of the iron double arched doors that lead to the living room opening. My ears picked up his purposeful strides and the even sounds of his heartbeat. I should step out and get done with the reason for my sudden visit but I decided to surprise him and that meant waiting some more.

Moments later, I heard him approaching the study. As soon as he opened the door, I greeted him with a grin.

He simply closed the door and leaned against it, staring at me with raised brows.

"Invading my home now huh?" He asked his expression a bored one.

"Not exactly my fault. I visited at the wrong hour and had to wait to meet you".

Walking towards the desk in the home office, he slumped into one of the leather seats opposite me, clasping his hands atop the table.

"what do you want?" He asked, cutting the chase.

I liked him. Always straight forward.

"Another favor"

"You're yet to pay me for the first one"

"You haven't exactly asked for a payment"

"Soon" he muttered. His eyes bored holes into mine, asking one question; why was he In his home?

"My friend is in trouble and I need her to stay here for a while for safety reasons. She's not safe with me"

"Why should I help you?" I

smirked. He wanted a reasonable answer.

"If you didn't want to, you would have never offered me the cabin. And about that, thanks but I can't stay there anymore. Someone traced me there"

"Do not get me involved in your shit"

"Trust me, no one can trace either of us to you"

"If I help you, you owe me twice"

I nodded in approval.

"I can ask for my payment at any. Fucking. Time" he enunciated his words as if to drill them into me. Again, I replied with a curt nod.

"She's welcomed to be here"

As soon as he said the words, I was out of his home and back to mine where Rhea was seated on the bed waiting for me.

"He's agreed to let you stay" I informed her.

"He?" She questioned, frowning.

Immediately, I knew her concern.

"Don't worry. You'll be in safe hands. He won't hurt you but if he does I won't hesitate to rip his heart out"

Her eyes widened at my statement and I smirked. 

"Come with me".

Rising from the bed, she walked to me and grabbed my arm. With that, I teleported back to Damon Graves home, resurfacing at his study. He was still there but now seated on the seat I'd vacated, working on his laptop.

Sensing our presence in the room, he raised his head. His gaze drifted past me to Rhea, drinking her in. I saw a hint of interest in his eyes as they glinted. His eyes flashed to mine and he smirked. The bastard.

"Welcome to my home..."
