His Lethal Love by Monika Singh (short story to read txt) 📗

 

“Are you crazy? He hates eating in the room.” I laughed, shaking my head. “You two can enjoy your dinner on the kitchen counter.” 

 

“Yeah, I thought about it when I saw Scott and Conan together. They are sworn enemies.” Archie sighed and plopped onto the kitchen counter. 

 

Suddenly, a shatter of glass broke into the air, making all of us freeze in shock. After a moment, we glanced toward the dining room. 

 

“What the fuck!” Conan screamed out. Gasping, I ran toward the room and stopped dead on my track when I spotted Scott and Conan grabbing each other. 

 

“Take your hands off!” Scott said quietly, his eyes burning with rage. 

 

“What will you do if I don’t?” Conan grinned, glaring at him back. 

 

I saw Scott’s crutches on the floor as he stood on his plastered leg. They were grabbing each other’s collars and their expressions were wild as if they were about to kill one another.

 

“What are you two doing? Get off!” I tore them away. 

 

“He is talking shit about you!” Scott growled. “How could you find him charming?” 

 

“Shut up!” I said to Scott and turned to Conan. “And you, leave.” 

 

“Listen to me, Cami,” Conan said quietly but his expression was still sour. “He doesn’t know what he is…” 

 

“I said leave.” I gritted my teeth out. “I don’t like how you two are fighting over me. You two are talking about me like I am some sort of thing, not a human being.” 

 

“He is talking like he owns you.” Conan pointed to Scott. “He is a jerk.”

 

“She said fuck off!” Scott snarled from behind me. 

 

“And she also said shut your fucking mouth,” Conan retorted with the same wrath. 

 

“Can you two just stop your stupid fighting?” 

 

“I’m sorry,” both men said simultaneously. 

 

“Now leave.” I crossed my arms over my chest, scowling at Conan. 

 

“Can I take this pot roast home since I couldn’t enjoy it there?” I held back my smile when he lunged for the entire bowl and smiled at me before he walked off. It was hard to believe he was a popular star when he acted like a baby. 

 

 

 

“What are we going to eat now?” Scott grumbled from behind me. 

 

I turned to him, staring at him. “Did I say you would get food?” 

 

“Will I have to sleep on an empty stomach?” 

 

“Yeah, since we don’t have food left in the kitchen.” 

 

“But I’m starving.” He ran his finger through his hair. 

 

“You’ll go to bed without food.” I spun around and was heading to the kitchen before he blurted out, 

 

“I’m gonna eat you out if you don’t give me food, Cam.” I froze when he threatened me. The heat crawled to my neck and then my face. “This is going to be the most delicious dinner I have ever eaten.” 

 

“You are a shameless bastard!” I spat and hurried into the kitchen.
