Kimberly POV
We reached the hotel am hour later. Kaleb and I stopped talking completely and I felt like hitting myself. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
Why couldn’t I have just lied and made up some stories? I could have lied that I’m a feminist and as such I didn’t like the way he treats other women. I jus had to go and tell him how I really felt about him. Stupid Kimberly!
“You worry too much about everything. Stop thinking and focus on the task at hand” Kaleb said in a cool voice.
“Oh yeah and what’s that” I replied harshly but he didn’t seem to care. He Simply ignored my reaction and spoke like I had said nothing “never let your guard down in front of Trevina. She’s an Incubus too”
Even as the news shocked me I came to the realization of some of the news I’ve overhead. Both Kaleb and her having a six year long affair, about how impossibly beautiful she was…
“Does she has a connection with Denlian too?” I asked Kaleb who looked taken aback by my question.
He stayed quite for some time as we sat in the underground parking space of the hotel then he nodded “how did you figure it out?”
“You wanted me to get Trevina to work for us before bluebird got to them and you haven’t yet informed Dan about your month long departure” I told him connecting the dot.
“And I’ll like to keep it that way” he said with a Stern look “I don’t Denlian getting involved with her ever again. That all you need to know”.
I nodded crushing my curiosity. Something big must have happened if Kaleb doesn’t want to involve Denlian at all. Kaleb might be the younger brother but at this moment I had a feeling that he was protecting Dan from something that might cause him serious distress. So I promised not to tell Dan, help Kaleb protect his brother.
Wait….
“You said that you’re the crown prince….. but as your elder brother doesn’t that title go to Denlian”. I asked
Kaleb shook his head “it would have if Dan was my full-blooded brother. We both have the same mother but our fathers are different.”
“Oh” I tilted my head to side observing Kaleb. Apart from the hair and eyes they both looked very much alike even though they might disagree to that. “How old is Dan?” I asked knowing fully well that the answers will be in hundreds.
“Two hundred and fifty nine” Kaleb lips curved up at the corners at my reaction “and incase you’re wondering he’s fifty years older than me”.
“Wow…..” I blinked my eyes and shook my head “I can’t ever imagine a sibling being that old”
“Immortals have lower pregnancy rate” he said opening his door and coming over to open mine “leave your stuff one of the workers will pick it up and have it delivered to our room”
“Our room!”
“Yes. We have separate bedrooms, so you don’t have to worry about it all we share is the living space. I arranged it that way so that every time I need to inform you of something I don’t have to call or walk over to your room”.
It was a good point but to think that Kaleb will be staying so close to me, this was going to be hard to cope with.
“You’re not going to bring any women into our suite, would you?” I asked despite knowing that if not in his room he’ll still be feeding somewhere from someone.
Kaleb gave me a long, narrowed eye look before nodding his head and then he was striding forward towards the elevator, getting ready to begin work.
Kaleb’s POV
Kimberly was a bundle of nerves next to me as we rode up the elevator. She couldn’t stop fidgeting and her stiffness was making me want to growl. I wouldn’t have cared about it before but now that I had her taste of her lips, her essense in my blood ignoring her was now more difficult than before.
“What is it with you and elevator?”
She jumped startled and lifted her eyes to look at me “it’s not me , it’s you!” She accused .
“There’s this thing about you that makes me feel overwhelmed whenever I’m in a close space with you”.
I raised an eyebrow at her “Language miss Brown as long as I can remember I’m still your boss”
I saw her eyes widen for an instant, until she saw the smile tugging at my lips. Then she just huffed and turned to face to other side of the elevator doors and her cheeks puffed up like a sulking child.
Before I got the chance to say anything the doors opened and we stepped out coming to face with a smiling blonde woman with cunning blue eyes that looked from me to kim with open curiosity. Besides her stood a man of Kim’s age, talk , athletic with dark brown hair…. and he was eyeing Kim with a huge smile on his face.
I looked over at Kim and found out that she too was giving the man a big smile, happiness clearly written in her face. I clenched my hands inside the pocket of my trousers. Who was he? How do they know each other?
“Kaleb”… a sickly sweet voice interrupted my thinking “I’m assuming you haven’t meet my scribt, my secretary, Keith Simons.”
Kimberly head wiped to Melinda as soon as she mentioned scribt. Melinda smile grew even wider as she looked at Kim and then back to me, but she didn’t say anything more which I was thankful for.
“Let’s go” I told everyone and began leading the way to our suites until Melinda scribt spoke up and I halted in my track.
“Actually why don’t you guys head out first? I’ll excort Kim back to her room. We have some catching up to do”.
I looked at Kim to see if she would protest, but instead she went to stand by his side and nodded in agreement. I felt myself grit my teeth in irritation but I kept quiet.
“Suite yourselves!” I told them and turned around and started working to the direction of my suite.
I felt Melinda follow beside me and felt her slip her hands around mine. This time i didn’t care what she was doing because my mind was in Kim and that boy Kieth, had put his hand on her back just before I’d turned away from them.
Who the fuck was he?
