78. These Moments

I awoke to the sound of something knocking against the window. I sat up, looking around, Charlene was still asleep on the other side of the vast bed.

I stared at the window, seeing the shadow reflected on it. I frowned, getting out of bed and going over to it slowly. My senses were on alert as the figure stopped moving, and I could tell from the outline that it was a muscular man. My heart skipped a beat upon realising who it was.

Theon.

What was he doing here?

I quickly glanced back at Charlene and the closed door to the bedroom, my heart skipping a beat as I slowly unlocked the window. He instantly pulled it open, letting in the cold.

Charlene stirred, and I frowned, looking at him.

He smelled of alcohol…

Was he drunk?

“I need to talk to you.” He said huskily, despite his voice being as cold and emotionless as ever, I could tell from his eyes that he may be slightly intoxicated.

“Theon, I don’t want to do this right now.” I whispered.

“We are running out of time, Yileyna. We need to do this now.” He replied quietly.

I frowned, glancing at the rainy sky outside. He was already drenched, his shirt sticking to him and water trickling down his face and neck.

I bit my lip, trying not to focus on how sexy he looked right now, and instead gazed down at myself. I was wearing a black satin nightdress that Charlene had given me, with thin straps. I didn’t have any other clothes to wear… not that the cold bothered me…

“Theon, I already have the king trying to control my every action, can I at least sleep in peace? “I frowned.

I almost expected him to argue, but seeing the struggle in his eyes I knew I needed to hear him

“Please.”

Theon didn’t say please, that one word made up my mind. My heart thundered with worry, before I looked out at the narrow ledge where he was balanced with ease.

“Theon, you’re drunk and you’re taking such a risk?” I hissed. “Then come with me, before I end up falling.” He whispered softly, teetering slightly on the ledge. My heart leaped into my mouth, and I grabbed onto his shirt. “Goddess, Theon!” “Better hurry up, Little Storm.” He whispered.
