CHAPTER 131
~Eryx's POV~
I was still leaning on the kitchen counter, a bottle of water forgotten in my hand, staring at the sunlight filtering through the half-open blinds like it might give me answers.
It didn't.
All it gave me was more time to think—and thinking was the last damn thing I needed right now.
Her lips. Her weight on my lap. That tiny smile she tried to hide after I fed her.
Gods…
I ran a hand down my face, trying to breathe through the tangled mess in my head. I'd kissed her. Not a real kiss, no. Just a lick. A taste. But that was enough. Enough to make my blood burn with questions I didn't want to answer.

'She's not,' I argued with my thoughts.
She's your family.
Then why the hell did it feel like I was in love with her?
My phone buzzed on the counter. I barely looked at the screen before answering. "Yeah?"
"It's Kaius, you dimwit," came my brother's reply. "Got a minute? It's our sister."
