CHAPTER 21
LOGAN’S POV
When I opened my eyes and looked beside me, she was gone. She had most certainly woken up much earlier than I did. For the first time in days, I felt rested. Lazily hopping down the bed and walking towards the bathroom for a pee, I opened the door, only to see a naked Audrey in the bathroom. The moment I saw her, I stood immobile in my spot, finding it really hard to take my eyes off her perky and standing breasts.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What the hell are you doing?!” She yelled at me in embarrassment, clasping her thighs together to cover her pussy, and cupping her breasts with her hands. “Get out!!!” She yelled angrily, and I found myself rushing out of the bathroom.
I paced around the room, trying to endure my urge to pee, and reliving the scene that just took place between Audrey and I, over and over again. At the thought of her breasts, I felt my cock swelling in the confine of my joggers. Goddess! Why was I suddenly sweating so hard? As I got harder, the urge to pee increased, making me sweat all the more. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I rushed out and made my way to Layla’s chambers. When I got there, what I saw almost made me stagger backwards. What the actual fuck?
“Liam?!!” I yelled in disbelief. There they were, tangled between the sheets and panting really hard as they moved against each other.
They had been so erotically caught up in their business, that seeing came as a shock. Liam quickly turned over from Layla, who drew the sheets over her breasts. They were both sweating, unable to make out any words. Even I, had been so confused, making my urge to pee momentarily disappear. Without saying any other thing, I walked out of Layla’s room, unable to believe what I just walked in on. What did Liam think he was doing?! At that thought, my anger began to surface. How could he be sleeping with Layla, when he knew he wasn’t her mate?!
Immediately, I did a U turn and headed back to my sister’s room. When I entered, Liam was buttoning his trousers, and I lunged towards him before he could comprehend what was happening, throwing a punch at his face.
“What are you doing?!” Layla yelled in anger and stood up from the bed, still clutching her bed sheet to her chest.
“How long?!” I yelled at Liam, anger taking over me completely. “For how long have you been sleeping with my sister?!!” I thundered, and was surprised to see him flinch.
“Since he found out I was his mate!!” Layla yelled back at me, standing between Liam and I, in a way that she shielded him.
“What?” I asked in shock, confusion, and disbelief.
“Yes, Logan.” She nodded. “We found out about it a few hours ago.” She sighed, eliciting a sigh from me as well.
“F.. for real?” I stuttered, to which she tiredly nodded.
“Yeah.” Liam muttered as he gently massaged his jaw. Oh, goodness!
I felt confused, positively surprised, and very bad for hitting Liam. But most of all, I figured they needed their space, because with the look of things, I was the first person to find out about this.
“Does anyone else know?” I asked, and Layla shook her head in negation. “I figure you both need some space then.” I muttered, still finding it difficult to believe that Liam and Layla were mates. As I stepped out of their room, I couldn’t help the smile that made its way onto my face. Now that I was thinking about it, I couldn’t hope for a better mate for my sister, than Liam. He had always been there for her since childhood, and protected her fiercely.
The moment I got to my chambers, I just opened the door and walked in, only to see a naked Audrey applying some lotion onto her skin. Oh, goddess! Not again!! She had supported her weight by putting one of her legs on the bed frame, making her pussy stare right back at me. Why had my feet been carrying me to the wrong places today? And why did my eyes accompany it in such an embarrassing mission?
“Oh, goddess!” She cried out loud the moment she looked up to see me there. “Really? Is this funny to you?!”
“I’m so.. so.. sorry!” I stammered. “I didn’t know you’d still be dressing up.” I answered honestly. It seemed she was in no mood to cover up her body in embarrassment this time.
“Now that you know, quit staring at me and get out.” She pointed to the door angrily. I guess she had flung her arm with so much strength, which made her breasts jiggle.
“Do you mind if I go into the bathroom instead?” I asked. “I’m very pressed.”
“Then go!” She pointed at the bathroom, and I rushed towards it.
The moment I got in, I quickly relieved myself, but still had to remain in there, until I felt she was done dressing up.
When I finally got out, she was sitting on the bed, with a novel in hand. I tried looking at the back of the novel, and realized it was a romance novel. I couldn’t clearly make out the words written at the back, but it clearly looked like a novel I had read before. I would have just remained quiet, but no! I was always too eager to speak to her.
“You don’t seem like the romantic type to me.” I muttered.
“What?” She must have clearly heard me, but just didn’t think I would say that to her.
“You’re reading a super romance harlequin novel.” I gave a small smile. She looked at me pointedly and just rolled her eyes, before looking back at the book in her hand. At first, I thought she was going to ignore me as usual, but she didn’t. I had been excited she was responding to me, until I heard what she said.
“Trust me, Logan, I am a sucker for love and romance. Sebastian would attest to that fact. You probably just don’t realize it, because I don’t like or want you.”
At her words, I felt my heart breaking. I knew I should have remained quiet, but I spoke again.
“Would you ever learn to love me? Because I truly like you, Audrey.” I looked up, staring into her eyes. For a moment, it seemed she had been disconnected, before realizing herself and shaking her head.
“Logan, just leave me alone.” She whispered, almost sounding scared.
“Are you alright?” I asked in concern, and placed my hand on her shoulder. She quickly flinched away from my touch and hopped down the bed, walking towards the door. Just before she grabbed the door handle, a knock was heard.
“Your highness, it’s Amara.”
Audrey opened the door immediately. “You need anything?” She asked the maid.
“Yes, your highness. Breakfast has been served, and the king insists that you must all eat together.”
“Alright then. We would be down in a minute.” She said, before closing the door. Slowly, she turned to me and made an eye movement, probably trying to pass a message that I didn’t quite grab. “You heard her. Your father has asked that we all eat together.”
“What’s wrong with that?” I asked, truly at loss.
“Nothingggg!” She groaned. “We just have to act cool around each other.” She muttered. She didn’t have to say more, for me to know what was going on.
“Did my father speak with you?” I asked, going straight to the point. Her shoulders slumped, and she nodded in agreement.
“Yes, he did.” She replied and suddenly, something else crossed my mind.
“Was that the reason you asked that I shared the bed with you yesterday?” I asked, hoping she would say ‘no’.
“Yeah.” She sighed.
“Wow.” I gave a little scoff. “So you didn’t even ask me because you actually cared? You did it because my father asked you too?” She remained silent, almost seeming remorseful, and that was hard to believe. “I guess he also forced you to apologize to me for making such insensitive statements about my mother.”
“No no no!! Not at all.” She rushed towards me, but stopped midway. “No.” She sighed. “That was truly from my heart. I doubt he even had knowledge about that.”
“Hmm.” I nodded, and began walking away. She followed me from behind.
When we were approaching the dinning room, I looked back at her, and took her hand in mine. She seemed confused and shocked at the same time.
“What are you doing?!” She whisper~yelled.
“Helping you put on a show, for my father to see.” I replied. “We could as well let everyone think we are fine, until you can think up a way out this prison you feel you’re stuck in.” Her eyes widened slightly in shock. I pulled her along with me, and the moment we got into the dining room, she ceased every form of resistance. Every single person seemed shocked about the fact that we were holding hands, most especially my father, who looked quite satisfied. “You can thank me later.” I whispered into her ears, and she forced a smile onto her face.
