Chapter 155
I ran up the stairs and headed down the hallways one after the other. Being mad somehow helped me navigate this place a lot better.
Finally, I saw the bedroom door and rushed over, I flung the door open and Darian didn’t so much as flinch as I barged in and slammed it shut behind me.
He looked up from the book he was reading, leaned back on the sofa, and let his eyes fall on mine like I was the crazy one.
“How dare you send him after me like I’m some fucking child who needs a sitter?!” I took my purse and threw it at him.
“Hazel,”
“Don’t! Don’t you dare try to make this okay!”
The spine of the book stretched when he put the open book down on the table- spread to the page he was reading. He pushed off the sofa and rose, though I liked it better when he was sitting because only then did I feel like my words were reaching him. Now that he grew to over two meters tall and drew a breath while his chest expanded I found myself taking a step back.
That alone sent a rush of rage through me and I stomped over, letting the anger take control and I started slamming at his chest.
“You sent him to babysit me! You stupid…fucking…” spit flew from my mouth and my brows hunched while I screamed words…just words. I didn’t even know what I wanted to say I just wanted an apology or an admission of guilt. God, it was like hitting a mountain wall and I was not weak, he was just sturdy as hell.
“You know, that’s probably hurting you more than it’s hurting me,” he licked his lips and watched me like this was some sick form of foreplay.
“The hours I spent with him thinking we were having fun together- god It’s humiliating, Darian! How can you be so fucking selfish-”
My knuckles were turning red and drops of sweat fell down the side of my face, moistening my hair.
Guess he had enough, Darian grabbed my wrists and held them against his chest.
“I’m going to need you to shut that beautiful mouth of yours because all this screaming is making me hard as fuck and given the circumstances, I don’t think bending you over the couch and fucking you raw would make you like me any more than you already do,”
A heat wave washed over me and drowned the rush of rage that had taken over. My hands were restrained against him and he pulled me in tight.
“Now listen. Gabe was not babysitting you. I tossed out the question to a room of my most trusted and asked which of them wanted to escort you outside the castle; not because I thought you would run, but because you asked a Demon for a favor- one that’s undoubtedly got his eyes on you and I’m not stupid enough to think that he won’t be back to even out the odds,”
I groaned and pulled my hands down but his grip worked like a chain around my wrists.
“I can take care of myself,” I seethed.
He furrowed his brows and put my hair behind my ear.
“I don’t doubt that, but you’re not by yourself anymore. I’m here, and I will never gamble with
