I guess I can’t argue with that.“Okay.”
Adriel nodded and waited for me to enter the bedroom, his eyes unblinking like a bird of prey.
With my hand on the doorknob, I paused. “Um… I guess it’s almost morning, so I shouldn’t saygoodnight,right?”
A tiny flicker of humor crossed his face. “Goodnight is fine.” He paused, like he wanted to say something else but then thought better of it. “Goodnight, Caleb.”
And without waiting for my response, he strode away to his own room. My heart sank a little. I didn’t know what I was expecting - a kiss on the cheek or something? We barely knew each other, and he was beingforcedto guard me. I didn’t get the feeling he enthusiastically signed up for this of his own free will.
The only thing I could do now was sleep, so I undressed and got ready for bed. As I kicked my jeans off, something flew out of the pocket. I recognized the small square packet as a condom. I groaned, remembering when the hospital had given me a handful of them to me when I was discharged -customary for all omegas your age, just in case,Dr. Lopez had told me.
Yeah, right. As if I would ever have a need for them. I thought I’d tossed them all, but I guess I missed one. I was too exhausted to throw it out so I just stuffed it back in the pocket and forgot about it.
Since my mind was on that train of thought already, I remembered that I’d forgotten to pack any heat suppressants during the move. It wasn’t a big deal, since I could grab some from work, but it was just one more thing I had to worry about.
Feeling disappointed and tired, I flopped onto the bed.
Maybe this wasn’t going to be all fun and games after all.
