My Bloody Revenge novel Chapter 15

“Whore! So useless. You need to be disciplined for running away!”

“Keep running whore...run run run RUUUUN! HAHAHAHA!”

Tossing and turning.

"Run run run little girl!"

Gripping the sheets hard.

"BOO!Found you HAHAHAH!"

With a scream caught in the throat she opens her eyes and sits up in bed in a panicked startle.

Sweaty and trembling Lyra frantically looks around thinking HE has found her and dragged her

back to that cold place referred to as home. Breathing hard she turns on the bedside lamp.

Familiar green walls meet her eyes. Burying her face in the hands she silently counts to ten

before looking up again. Calmer but still shaken up she knows sleep won't come easy after a

nightmare like that. With trembling hands, she lifts the covers away and crawls out of bed then

walks out the door and tiptoes over to Jaze’s bedroom door. Knocking softly, she hopes he

won’t mind.

It is a very sleepy Jaze who answers the door."Lyra?"

Unable to keep the tears from falling she quickly wipes them. "...can I stay with you? Please?"

she whispering weakly.

"Nightmare?"

"Yes..."

"Always room for you, little mouse." Jaze lifts her up and closes the door by kicking it then

walks up to the bed where he carefully lies down with her resting on top. Tucking in both of

them under the soft covers he makes sure to keep his arms wrapped around her much smaller

body, cocooning her. "Better?" he whispers.

Burying her head in his neck she nods slowly. "Thank you."

"Anytime. I will keep you safe so try and sleep some more."

Hearing his soft breathing and the feel of his fingers gently playing with her hair is better than

any lullaby ever made. Closing her eyes and only focusing on him she doesn't have to wait long

before sleep takes over again.

Waking up the next day Lyra is still safely tucked away in Jazes arms.

"Sleep well?"

Hearing his slightly husky voice so suddenly startles her at first then she blushes knowing he has

been looking at her. "I did thank you...How did you sleep?"

"Comfortable like never before." he says stretching his lean, muscled, body in a cat like way.

"Hungry?"

"Can you make pancakes?" she asks shyly still not used to the idea of receiving things even if its

mundane things like food.

"I'll make you some tasty chocolate ship ones after showering."

Lyras eyes goes wide and her stomach growls as if agreeing to suggestion which makes Jaze

chuckle. Crawling out of bed she slowly stretches and let’s out a small sigh in satisfaction as her

joint’s pops and cracks. Last loud pop comes from her spine. Looking back, she comes face to

chest with Jaze and this is the first time seeing a chest this toned. Blushing she looks away

quickly but his abs does not go unnoticed. Never has she seen the body of someone close to her

own age before and never so well trained.
