Nico's POV:
The room went still as soon as she spoke his name.
I felt a low growl escape my throat as I dropped Khloe back onto the bed.
Of course it was Xander. Who else would it have been?
He would be the only one with the guts to do it and the hope that he could get away with it.
I almost found it funny that he thought he was going to get away with it.
He's probably sitting on his ass with a proud smirk.
I quickly turned on my heels, storming my way to the door.
I was going to throw that son of a bitch out of his own window for touching my stuff.
She's
I awoke to the sound of whimpering.Specifically, Khloe's whimpering.This wasn't really an uncommon occurrence, in fact, it almost happened every night.Usually, I could just ignore it and fall back asleep, but she was laying on the other side of my bed this time, so it was kind of harder to ignore.I sighed, turning over so I was facing her.Maybe I should just wake her up this time.It would probably be easier than listening to her all night.I could see that she was scared, the way she had herself curled up. Not to mention the look she had on her face."Xan... der," she spoke quietly in her sleep, "Please... don't..."Her body became tenser.Dammit of course she would be having a nightmare about that.A small whine came from her as she gripped the sheets, tears beginning to show between her eyelids.I sighed again, pushing myself up to make my way over to her.I kind of found it odd that s
Khloe's POV:I didn't want to open my eyes when I first woke up.I was so comfortable.This bed was probably the most comfortable thing I had ever slept on.My mind groggily recalled what happened last night.The nightmare I had and the events following it.I forced my eyes open once I remembered what happened with Master.Sure enough, I was still lying beside him, my head practically laying on his arm, almost pressing against his chest. His other arm was still around me, pressed against my upper back. I could even feel his chin barely resting on the top of my head.This was... weird.
Nico's POV:Breakfast has gone pretty much how it always goes so far, Xander talking aimlessly about something that I absolutely couldn't care less about and acting as innocent as ever.Meanwhile, I was trying to figure out if there was a way my fork could somehow make its way into his thigh while still making it look like an accident.I could still smell Khloe's scent in his breath, like he wasn't even trying to hide it from me.God he's so lucky we're in a public environment right now."... speaking of which, wheres Khloe?" He asked as if he was genuinely curious.My jaw clenched at the fact that he brought her up at all."She told me that she wasn't feel
Khloe's POV:I know that Master said that giving me these things would give me something else to do than stare out this window, but the light coming in from it was the perfect lighting to draw in.So, yet again, I was sitting on the window sill, catching up on some long-awaited sketches.A soft sigh escaped my lips as I sketched out the wing of a hummingbird.I found myself actually missing Nico.Well, not him exactly, but just his presence.I never really noticed how exposed I felt when he wasn't around.Or in other words, how safe I felt when he was.Maybe safe wasn't the right word to describe it.
Khloe's POV:It wasn't long until he came back into the room, holding a thin file in one of his hands. Supposedly the one I was supposed to bring to him last night.He seemed to have calmed down a bit, but the tension in his shoulders was still visible.He leaned back against the door as soon as it was closed, his eyes glancing over at me."Did you, um... tell Xander about what she did?" I asked.Nico let out a quiet sigh as he pushed himself from the door, slowly making his way to his desk."No," he began," Taking her back to him and telling him that he could drink from her again was punishment enough."My eyes trailed back to my drawing, furrowing a littl
Khloe's POV:Nico did the same thing for both lunch and dinner, left me here and ordered me something once he got back.I wondered how long this would go on.Not because I wanted to be near Xander again, but just because I really didn't like being left alone here.Despite no one except Nico being able to get in here, I still didn't feel comfortable alone.I sighed, looking out the window at the stars.The moon was almost full, meaning the Blood Moon was almost here.I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, fingers trailing down to the place that Nico first bit me.Nico obviously didn't succeed in his 'wean
Nico's POV:She actually looked peaceful this morning as she slept. Both her face and her body looked completely relaxed.I was honestly quite surprised by what she did last night. She never struck me as the kind of person that would try something like that.Even though it really wasn't that big of a deal.Judging by the look on her face when I 'caught her' she most definitely thought that it was.Then again she pretty much thinks that everything is a big deal, that's just how she is.I glanced down at her, watching her chest steadily rise and fall.The heat that her body gave off was one of the main reasons that I didn't mind sleeping with her at my side.
Khloe's POV:I've found that I've been able to feel a lot more comfortable around Nico since he has begun to let me sleep at his side.And that really didn't help for when he left me in the room alone.If anything, it just made me feel more nervous.It was like he had become my safe haven, at least, that's what it felt like.And I'm pretty sure that he has come to notice it as well.I looked up at him as he exited the closet from my place on his bed.His stress had grown in the past couple of days, yet I still didn't know why.I'm guessing that it partially had to do with his work, but it felt like that wasn't t
