It wasn’t the silence that followed his outburst that bothered Orion. No, it was the look on Zade’s face. He had caught it out of the corner of his eye and he slowly shifted his gaze towards the male as if trying to keep from looking at something horrific. He knew by the expression and how pale the other collared had become that he fucked up in more ways than one. Swallowing hard, the redhead bit on the inside of his cheek, heart starting to race as stress quickly built up inside of him. By the time the car stopped, his palms were sweaty and he had to look away from Zade when he whimpered.
Fuck.
Yep, he fucked up bigtime. He managed to keep his expression neutral as Lilith made it clear that he had fallen right into her trap by admitting that the redhead model was his sister. Damn it, why didn’t he just play it off. Now he was certain that if anything happened to his twin, it would be on his head. Snarling when she threatened they were going to use him as bait, Orion managed to keep from saying something, but it was hard. Eyes snapped to the door the moment the locks were engaged, and he frowned at Zade’s please. This was his fault too.
“I’m…” Saying sorry wasn’t going to make a damned bit of difference. He had put Zade in this predicament when the male had been trying to keep them safe. In truth, Orion didn’t think Lilith would punish the two of them, only him.
“I thought she would only punish me…” He finally managed and shook his head just a little. “I’m going to do my best to protect you. It’s all my fault… but I spoke the truth.”
Fuck.
