Chapter 41 : Ready for What?

When I felt Soren pull back, embarrassment flooded through me again. I clamped my eyes shut tightly and looped my arms around my waist. I could barely sense him anymore.

What had come over me? Why was I acting like that?

Had I really been… horny?

That’s what it seemed like. And Soren was the one I wanted. What was worse, now he knew it!

I shuddered and hugged myself tighter. Disappointment and unfulfilled desire stuck to me like tar. I was disappointed in myself for showing the way I felt but I was also disappointed in Soren for not doing anything about it.

When had he become so prude? It wasn’t like he hadn’t done all that and more to me already…

I shook my head to push those thoughts aside. Maybe he was purposefully trying to torture me. That was all I could think.

The room was quiet. Almost too quiet.

I wondered if Soren had left after my embarrassing display. Squinting one eye open, I checked to see if he was still there.

Soren was still sitting on the edge of the bed, his gaze steadily on me. Those blue-gray orbs were penetrating, seeing straight through the sheet and his t-shirt.

My insides squirmed and my cheeks flushed again. I covered my face with my arm.

“Drink a little more water, just to make sure you are staying hydrated,” Soren said.

I uncovered my face and saw he was holding out a cup of water this time. Pulling myself up, I leaned back on the pillows, semi-reclined, and I took the cup of water. This one, I drank slower, hoping the awkwardness I felt would go away by the time I was done.

Soren remained where he was, watching me. He didn’t seem upset by my earlier behavior but he seemed cold and distant now. Soren didn’t move or speak as I drank my water.

When I was done, I handed the cup back to him and sighed.

“I’m feeling much better now, thank you,” I said.

“You’re welcome,” Soren replied warmly.

“How is Miltern pack? The curse was lifted, wasn’t it?” I asked, looking out the sunny window again.

I must have woken up later in the afternoon because the sun was already setting. I could see brilliant, vibrant colors across the sky.

“The curse was lifted, thanks to you, and the pack is already on the mend,” he said.

A little frown touched Soren’s lips.

“What is it?” I asked, leaning forward more.

“You figured out how to use the Feather of Justice. Unfortunately… it seems like it was a one-use artifact,” he said.

Soren held the box out to me, the lid opened.
