And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 336

"You don't look too happy to see me," he replied, his smile forming into a playful frown.

"I'm tired and have a headache," I mumbled, trying not to seem as annoyed as I was. It wasn't that he was annoying me. I simply just had no interest in that particular moment to be entertained by him. Even if he was absolutely delicious to look at.

There was a twinkle in his eyes as his smile grew again. "Hangovers are never any fun."

"I'm not hungover—"

"Yes, you are," Sansa replied, causing me to shoot her a daggered glare that made her smile. "Don't look at me like that, it's the truth."

Maybe I was slightly hungover, but I didn't need people pointing it out. Turning my gaze back to Silas, I sighed. "Did you need something, Silas?"

Hesitation twinkled behind gaze. He did want something, and the fact he did made me nervous. He didn't seem like the kind of man who calmly asked for things. At least not to someone like me.

"Actually, I wanted to see if you would have dinner with me."

Sansa went into a coughing fit, drawing both mine and Silas' attention as well as a few people sitting near us. Patting on her chest, her eyes wide she quickly took a sip of her drink and gave me a sheepish grin. "Sorry, that went down wrong."

"Am I missing something?" Pollux snapped as he glared at me.

"Nope, nothing at all." My reply was more than sarcastic, and my brother knew it. He stared at me for a moment longer before Silas straightened himself and turned. The tension in the air was strong, and as Silas said a few whispered words to my brother, I watched them both quickly disappear.

Whatever it was Silas said was enough to make my brother ease up, but I knew the conversation wasn't over. At least not for now. Pollux had a way of making things difficult, and if he knew I slept with Lucas or that Silas was asking me out, well, we can just say he would flip his shit.

Because no matter the issues we had, he was damn sure not happy about me having a mate before him—let alone a friend with benefits.
