And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 208: Seeking Allies

Cassie.

The dim lighting from the sun filtered through the cottage window as a cool breeze brushed against my skin. I hadn't remembered sleeping as well as I did last night in a long time, and as the memories of what had happened with Finn and Silas filtered through my mind, I couldn't stop the blush that crossed my face.

Finn had pleased me in a way I couldn't even begin to explain, and Silas had been a part of that.

Even if he hadn't actually touched me sexually.

My eyes drifted around the room, my body partially covered by the white sheets upon the bed, and as I took in my surroundings, I realized that Finn and Silas were nowhere within the room.

Did they please me and then leave? Was it just a quick f**k?

The thought that I had perhaps f****d up by sleeping with Finn last night made me cringe internally. I didn't regret it at all, but I wasn't looking forward to the awkward conversation that could follow.

Slowly moving around in the bed, I sat up holding the white sheet to my chest when the bedroom door opened and Finn came in carrying a tray with food on it, and a very unhappy Silas behind him. “Good morning, Cassie."

“Uh–morning," I replied hesitantly, “breakfast in bed?"

“Yes," he replied sweetly as I got myself comfortable and he sat the tray upon my lap. The array of colored fruits, juice, coffee, and toast was a welcome sight. I wasn't sure why they were being sweet like they were as they had never done anything like this before, but I wasn't opposed to being waited on.

At least for right now, anyway.

“So…" I muttered, lifting the coffee to my lips, “about last night."

Finn stopped dead in his tracks as a smile spread from ear to ear. “What about it?"

“I hope it's not going to make things weird between us…"

There was a slight pause before Finn glanced at Silas, who stood brooding as always, and he laughed. I felt foolish for having said something, but Finn, as always, seemed to understand how I was feeling and leaned over, kissing the top of my head gently.

“Don't worry," he muttered softly, running his hand over my hair. “There is no reason for things to be weird. That won't be the last time we spend a night together, you can be sure of that."

Well, he is overly confident.
