Page 63 of His Little Devil
Silver and Kane talk behind me, but I don’t care. I have been starving for two days.
Taking my time, I eat every bite, then make my way back to the closet to leave Luke another surprise. This time in a pair of black shiny shoes.
When I return, Silver is sitting on the corner of the large bed with a glass ball in her hand. Kane is gone, and I notice she looks around to make sure she’s alone.
She looks sad. I know I should comfort her, but I’m still mad at everything she’s done. Last night was a fluke. We won't be cuddling again.
“This is dumb. I’m about to get married. I need to let them go,” she whispers before mumbling a spell.
The glass ball glows before showingme?
What the fuck?!
“Five minutes, Silver, then you need to move on,” she says and I move closer, so that I can see better.
It’s the day that I took her to a coffee shop. I wanted to ask her to be my date to the ball. It’s so surreal hearing my voice speak through the small object.
“So,I wanted to ask you something?” I say as Silver sets her bagel down, giving me her full attention.
“What's up?” she replies with a smile.
I remember this day.I was nervous she would say no. Yes, we had been sleeping together, but arriving at the ball with each other would make a large statement.
“We havea tradition here around the holidays. There’s a huge masquerade ball. I’m not sure if one of the other guys has asked you to go yet, but would you be my date?”
I asked her quickly,then looked down. I don’t know why she made me so nervous. Maybe it’s because I was already in love with her. For once, I thought that I had something for myself.
An amazing woman to love me and my best friends. Someone who would make us happy…
She reached overand placed her hand on mine. “I would love to go with you. And no, nobody else has asked me yet.”
She made me so happy…If only I knew that it was all a lie. Maybe I could have saved myself, guarded my heart more tightly.
Silver sniffles and quickly wipes the tears from her cheeks. “I miss you, Donnie… I wish things could have been different.”
My eyes widen at her confession, and I really hate that I’m a fucking cat right now. I wish I could hold her and tell her that I still love her.
The memory plays on, but I don’t look. I can’t take my gaze away from the beautiful woman beside me.
Closing her eyes, she mumbles once more and the scene changes to a night she spent with Wells and Arrow. They are laid out on her bed with snacks, watching a movie. She laughs softly and wipes more tears away.
Someone knocks on the door and she covers the ball with her hands, before shouting for them to come in. A woman rushes inside with a giant bag in her hands and gives Silver a warm, motherly smile.
“Are you ready, dear? We have about six hours to get you primped and primed to be our next queen,” she says with a little pep, and Silver nods, but I can tell from the look in her eyes that her whole heart isn’t in this… and that gives me hope that maybe… just maybe, one day, we will be together again.
KANE
“Today’s the day,” I cheer as I let myself into the spare room that Luke chose the night before. I find it hilarious that Silver kicked him out.
The curtains are drawn, and the room is completely dark, but not for meee… I have perfect vision.
One of the perks of being an Incubus.
Luke grumbles from the large bed and I laugh. “Wakey wakey,” I coo, before getting a running start and throwing myself on top of the lump in the middle of the mattress.
“Fuck,” Luke roars, and I laugh again. “Get off of me, you giant ass,” he grumbles, but I just wiggle until I can wrap myarms tightly around him. “Seriously, Kane.” He laughs, and I sigh.
“Fine, but I want to talk to you before breakfast.” I release him and roll over until I’m on the edge of the bed.
