This gentle side of him is off-putting and I don’t think I’m going to get used to it any time soon. His large fingers on mine don’t make a difference, this new side of him that I’m seeing for the first time doesn’t erase all of the horrendous things he’s done. The way he’s looking at me doesn’t make him any nicer of a person. For Goddess’s sake, I just watched him kill a man and enjoy every second of it. Remembering that he’s asked me a question, I pull myself out of it.
“Your warriors didn’t know who I was and you weren’t expecting guests, so…” I trail off. Did I tell his guard, Duke, that I was his person? Yes. Did I mean it? Not one bit. Does that change the fact that Shane thinks I’m his person? No. Was I hoping to use that knowledge to my benefit? Yes.
