20. In Three Days

YILEYNA

I stared at the small cabin that belonged to Theon, seeing the glow around the edge of the window, meaning someone was here… My heart skipped a beat, Theon would stay at the castle, right?

Did he know I’ll be going on the trip too?

I looked around. There was a scatter of cabins, each with its own garden area, trees and low fences surrounding each square of land. It was a nice area… I hadn’t paid attention last time.

Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. I didn’t hear anyone coming to the door, so I knocked again, frowning. Surely he was in there. I knocked again, louder, before the door was yanked open and Theon stood there, giving me a withering glare.

“If no one answers, it means it’s unlocked.” He stated icily, turning and walking off.

“How was I meant to know that?” I retorted, stepping inside and shutting the door behind me.

The smell of something delicious filled my nose and my eyes scanned the kitchen counters. I was starving, only now realising I had only had milk in the morning. As if on cue, my stomach rumbled loudly, making my cheeks flame up.

His eyebrow shot up and I pouted.

“I haven’t eaten all day…” I explained sheepishly. “Shame, I only bought food for myself. I said I’d give you a roof over your head, not hot meals. “He said, sounding as irritating as he did sexy. He grabbed the brown paper bag from the counter and dropped onto one of the two chairs at the table.

“I never said I wanted your food.” I replied icily. “So where are my things?”

He tilted his head and that tension that always seemed to settle between us filled the entire cabin, making my heart race. I stood there, a flash of that night returning to me, remembering how he had looked me over as he sat back…

“Bedroom.” He replied after a moment. I managed a nod before I hurried through to the bedroom, shutting the door behind me. Instantly, I was hit with Theon’s masculine scent and it made my core knot. Theon’s bedroom… Did that mean he was letting me sleep here? In his bedroom…

Focus, Yileyna!

I shook my head, thinking I would go get myself some food and maybe some groceries. He was right, he had given me a place to stay but I needed to pull my weight.

The urge to take a long bath tempted me, I wanted to just relax, but then I was also starving… I looked at the boxes of my belongings and rummaged around until I found my purse.
