He shrugs into a pair of loose linen pants. He stalks back to me and flings a tunic at me. It’s big enough to cover me all the way to my knees and smells of the sea.
I slide it on then plop down on the bed. “You’ve used this place before?”
He angles his head. “Even a bastard like me needs a retreat, somewhere to get away and clear my head.”
“You mean regroup on the assholeness inside so you can go back and be more of a bastard?” Oh, hell, there I go again, inciting him. Why can’t I just stay quiet? Why can't I conform to the stereotypes of omegas? Gentle. Docile. Right. So not what I am.
He frowns. A nerve ticks above his jaw.
My pulse thuds at my temples, but I hold his gaze. So, the guy’s a monster. No argument there. Still, he’s been less of a jerk than I’d thought. He rutted me, gave me what I needed, saved me…from the stupid-ass attempt at trying to drown myself, and now he’s actually trying to have a conversation with me?
Everything I’ve always expected from someone normal. Someone who isn’t a monster inside. Which he isn’t. And I have never wanted someone average, normal…have I? That would bore me.
And here I go making excuses for his behavior again. I rub my palm over my face.
Walking back to the chair, he straddles it. Then smirks in that way I am beginning to think of as The Zeus Special. “Yeah, that’s exactly right. And I’m done being patient. You get one more question, Omega. You'd better make it count.”
