Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 192

　　Evelyn POV

　　Going to sleep was near impossible, I gave up and slept in Mara's bed, wishing she was here. The distraction would have been good, she always kept everyone on their toes.

　　Getting up to Orion rummaging around her room, I stretch rolling over to look at him. His scent filled the room making me wonder how long he had been in here already.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　"Disinfecting her toys" he says with a can of Glen 20 in his hand and a cloth in the other. I cough on the fumes.

　　"Are you trying to disinfect her lungs too?" I ask, choking while hopping up.

　　"You could always help," he says, looking over his shoulder at me.

　　"She is a tribrid, what possible disease could she catch from her toys?" I ask, shaking my head.

　　He seems to think for a second.

　　"None because they are disinfected," he says, spraying Glen 20 at me.

　　"You're too much sometimes" I tell him, getting up and remaking her bed.

　　"Well in your case I am not enough" he mutters under his breath.

　　"What?" I ask.

　　"Nothing, never mind just talking to myself" he says, turning back to his task of cleaning every toy she owns.

　　"Where are Thaddeus and Ryland?" I ask, about to go look for them.

　　"Thaddeus went to the council to do some work and to look into something, Ryland has gone to get Amara, and he is taking her to her playdate"

　　"Playdate?" I ask him.

　　"Yes, she goes every week but Ryland wanted to take her. Leaving me with you," he says, not even bothering to hide his dysplasia of having to be around me.

　　"Yeah you seem really impressed about having to spend time with me" I remarked before walking out.

　　Heading downstairs, I grab the basket off the floor near our door. By the look of it Orion had been busy, as it contained our dirty bed linen. I chuck it in the washing machine, turning it on before going to the kitchen and turning the kettle on.

　　I make two coffees, before putting some bread in the toaster. I waited for it to pop before spreading creamed cheese on it. Taking a bite of my toast, I walk to the stairs.

　　"Orion, I made you coffee" I called out to him. I got no response but could hear him rummaging around in her room still.

　　I quickly eat my toast, leaving his coffee and toast on the counter for him before sneaking out the back to have a smoke.

　　The sun beaming down on my skin, oh how I missed it's warmth. Now I barely felt it. The thought saddened me, I missed being human, missed so many things making me wonder how Orion coped for centuries. Maybe he forgot what it was like, I didn't want to forget. Lighting my smoke Orion comes out plucking it from my fingers.

　　"Since when did you start smoking again?" He asks, puffing on it before handing it back.

　　"This is only my second one" I tell him and he eyes me suspiciously.

　　"Promise" I tell him.

　　He looks away before sitting next to me and lighting his own. We sat in silence for a bit just looking at the paddocks surrounding the place and watching the sun grow higher in the sky..

　　"Do you miss being human?" I ask him and he looks at me.

　　"Sometimes, Why do you?" He asks and I nod.

　　"I miss you being human too," he says, making me look at him.

　　"Really?"

　　"Yep, you didn't talk back as much" he chuckles.

　　"It gets easier, though. You find things that remind you of being human that keeps you from turning into a monster" he says.

　　"Like?"
