As soon as they leave, closing the door behind them, Cillian pulls the chair up to my bedside. “You need pain meds? I can get the nurse in here to give you some. You really should get some rest. Those fucking pigs shouldn’t have bothered you.”
“Don’t do that. Don’t pretend to be nice. Don’t pretend you’re not exactly like the people who hurt me tonight.”
The smile slides off his face. Cillian pushes his hands into his slacks. What even is that? Why does he dress like that all the time?
His voice is steady, unemotional when he says, “I don’t pretend to be anything other than what I am. I know I’m not the hero. And I might be the bad guy, but I sure as shit am nothing like those motherfuckers who hurt you tonight. Three on one? Those fucking pussies don’t belong in the same universe as we do.”
“Because you wouldn’t attack an old man? That makes you better?”
“I never said I was better. I told you, I know who I am. Get some fucking sleep, Kitten. You look like shit.”
I feel like it, but still, I flip him off. “Don’t call me that.”
“Why? It’s what you are. Rory said you’re our brave little bunny, but you’re not. You’ve got some sharp claws, and you know how to use them. It’s my favorite thing about you.” And then he winks, and damned if heat doesn’t flush to my groin.
I don’t want him, I don’t want him, I don’t want him.
He’s supposed to be everything I hate in this world. He stands for everything I hate…yet I can’t hate him.
“I’m not your anything,” I say.
He shrugs. “Whatever you say, Kitten.”
I don’t have the energy to argue with him, and luckily, the nurse comes in, ready to medicate me, as if she obeys everything Cillian says too…and she didn’t even have to hear him say it to know he wanted her to do it.
