Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Figure In The Dark

Eira’s POV

Tonight I decided to be with Roman. I should be fair to him as well. Kael didn’t mind and headed to his room with Raven.

These brothers had great understanding towards each other, and now towards me as well. It made things less difficult for me.

As I lay in bed with him, I snuggled against him, in his arms as if it was how it was meant to be. I wasn’t hesitant or embarrassed to be close to my mate. I was only more comfortable with him than I was before.

There was a silence between us as I breathed in his scent. I was expecting he would do something with me, but he didn’t. I just wished to know what was in his mind.

"Roman?" my voice muffled against his chest.

"Hmm?" I heard him over my head.

"Something bothering you?" I asked.

"No." His tone was normal. "Why do you ask?"

"Umm... you are quiet."

"I just want you to have a good sleep tonight," he replied, his hand gently running through my hair. "Even if you sleep the entire day, night sleep is good for you and the baby. We can’t keep you awake every night."

Damn! Always so thoughtful, and that made me feel guilty towards him.

"Umm... a little, I don’t mind..."

"I won’t stop at just a little, and tonight we sure can’t," he said.

Tonight? I moved my head to look up at him, "What’s tonight?"

He stared at me for a moment before he leaned his face closer, "Your presence by my side makes it special," and he kissed me before I spoke more.

Alright. I get it that he didn’t want to answer.

He swept me into a kiss filled with the longing he had for me when I wasn’t with him. I understood him, his emotion, and reciprocated the same way.

"That sweet little tongue of yours, I can just go on and on," he whispered in a kiss, before once more diving his tongue into my cavern.

After a while he finally stopped, both of us gasping for air. His hand caressed my cheek. "Let’s stop here, or tonight again you won’t be having any sleep."

I offered a light nod as his worry was logical, and I cared for my baby. I closed my eyes, snuggling against his chest, and decided to sleep.

A kiss with him assured me that everything was fine between us.

After a while, just when I thought I was drifting into sleep, my stomach asked to be filled. I was feeling hungry, my mouth had started to salivate as my mind thought about the desserts kept in the refrigerator. I wanted them right at that moment.

I slowly moved Roman’s hand away from me. "Hmm?" he asked.

"Nothing. Just sleep. I’ll be back in a while," I said in a low whisper.

He hummed and closed his eyes, while I left the room. Outside, the drawing room lights were off, with a few night lamps left on, enough for me to wander around freely without bumping into anything.

I walked slowly towards the kitchen, careful not to make sounds and wake up others. The moment I reached the entrance, I froze at someone’s presence by the kitchen counter.

A tall figure was leaning over the kitchen platform as if hiding in the shadows. One hand rested on the platform, the other holding a glass of alcohol, a cigarette stuck between the fingers of the same hand, head lowered, eyes closed.

Lucian.

Shouldn’t he be in bed, resting?

He seems to be in pain. Is it?

Before I could open my mouth to talk, he turned his head to look at me.

I swear, I froze the moment he looked at me. His gaze, his expression, maybe it was the effect of the dark, but he looked threatening. Even in the dark, the look in his eyes was distinctive, making me wonder how I could even see it. Maybe my wolf abilities allowed me to.

"What are you doing here?" His deep, dangerous voice brought me back to my senses. "Alone?"

"I..." unable to say a word, feeling pressured under his dark aura, I looked at the refrigerator while contemplating whether to go back to my room. He had warned me to stay away from him. Maybe that’s the reason he was not happy with my presence here.

He lowered his head once more, inhaled deeply, maybe to calm himself, and then looked at me. "Are you hungry?"

I hummed.

Oven? Maybe he wants to reheat something for me.

That was touching to hear. It’s my home.

Here goes the pervert inside me, ogling one more man despite having two mates already. I am proving Rafe’s words about myself true.
