Waking up I rolled on my side, my hand coming in contact with a warm bare chest, I sat up my heart skipping a beat for second before I realised it was only Tobias and not some random dude from the club. I instantly relaxed, my head was cloudy and throbbing, I could hardly remember what we got up to last night. The last thing I remember was kissing Merida.
I rubbed my head which was pounding against my skull, Tobias was watching me a strange look on his face. I went to get out of bed when he pulled me on top of him. I slumped heavily against him, I had the worst hangover and felt so dehydrated. Theo walked in, carrying a glass of water and some Panadol. I sat up my legs straddling Tobias’s waist. He passed them to me. I quickly swallowed the pills down and sculled the drink, the coolness of the water soothing the dryness of my throat. Theo placed the glass on the bedside table.
I went to crawl out of the bed, the sudden urge to pee taking over. I climbed to the edge of the bed, stopping when Theo grabbed my chin making me look up at him. I rolled my eyes annoyed.
“Don’t roll your eyes, it’s disrespectful.” I was in no mood to put up with their orders. Plus, I really needed to pee.
“You know what’s disrespectful? Lying about the fact that you’re married,” I spat back at him.
I went to climb off the bed again only for his grip on my chin to get tighter, forcing my eyes to meet his. “Don’t ever let me see you kiss another person again understood?” I heard Tobias growl behind me, obviously remembering mine and Merida’s display of affection.
I laughed and slapped his hand away before shoving past him. This fucker lied about being married and he thinks he can tell me what to do.
“Imogen” I ignored Tobias calling out to me and walked into the bathroom, quickly peeing, and washing my hands before walking back and climbing under the covers. I just wanted to go back to sleep. No such luck, I felt the bed dip as Theo got under the blanket next to me. Tobias rolled over closer, and I snuggled into his warmth. I was still angry, but his warm skin was nice against mine and it was cold this morning. I felt Tobias fingertips gently rubbing my hip.
I could hear them talking softly but tuned them out before going back to sleep. They let me sleep and I eventually woke back up a few hours later. Tobias was laying next to me. I could hear him snoring softly, but Theo was gone. I could smell bacon, making my belly rumble loudly. Climbing out of bed, I pulled on one their shirts and put on some socks. My hair looked like a bird had made a nest in it as I walked past the glass on either side of the front door, making me laugh at my own reflection. I looked as bad as I felt.
I made my way into the kitchen and turned the kettle on. “Sit I will make it, here eat this,” he said passing me a plate of bacon and eggs with French toast. I dug in, nothing like greasy food when hungover. Theo handed me a coffee; I sipped its hot caffeinated goodness awakening my soul. Sometimes coffee was better than sex, well right now it was anyway.
Tobias walked downstairs running his hand through his hair, the muscles on his abdomen flexing as he moved. It was so hard to remember how angry I was at them when they kept walking around half bloody naked looking like god damn gods. Stupid mate bond making me fucking horny all the time. I turned back to face the kitchen, and Theo was watching me a silly smirk on his face, like he knew what I was thinking. And I wouldn’t been surprised if he did snoop in my thoughts.
Tobias sat next to me putting his hand on my knee, I pushed it off.
“Really Imogen she is dead. You really going to be jealous over a dead woman?”
“I’m not jealous of a dead woman. I am pissed off because you didn’t tell me you were married and I’m not stupid, I can tell you’re hiding something else.”
Tobias sighed. “What do you want to know then?” he asked. Now he wants to talk, really this wouldn’t even have become a thing, if he just told me yesterday instead of running from me and hiding in the room like a coward.
“Did you kill her?” Theo and Tobias looked at each other, clearly wondering where I got that information.
“Well, did you?” I asked again before they could ask where I had heard that information.
“Tobias did” Theo answered.
“Why?”
“Because she lied, we thought she loved us and we were going to mark her, then we found out she was with another vampire and she was just using us, so one of us would change her and give her immortality” Said Tobias, I could hear the anger in voice. Feel it through the bond this was a topic he didn’t like speaking of.
“So, Tobias lost control and snapped her neck, she was human. This was also over a hundred years ago Imogen, not recent and certainly not an issue you need to worry about” Theo stated. They killed her and I didn’t know how I felt about that.
