Aurora's POV. Chapter 41.
As night came too soon.. pain was the first thing I felt when I woke up. My whole body ached, a brutal reminder of last night with Luther. The room was dark, and his heavy scent clung to everything. He was still asleep beside me, his breathing deep and even.
I swallowed, my throat scratchy. I really needed some water.
Carefully, I pushed myself up, biting back a groan. My legs felt shaky, and my skin was overly sensitive. The glass on the bedside table was empty.
Ugh, fine. Just a quick trip downstairs.
The mansion was silent as I made my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. But as I turned around -
Someone was standing right next to me.
I gasped, nearly dropping the bottle. "What the hell, Richard?" My heart was pounding.
