Page 47 of The Sins of Silas

Dani let out a hum as he walked. “I'd say maybe forty percent of the time. My female form is what I was born with, but I find myself drawn to this form from time to time.”

Dani had shifted back into male form, still with those piercing blue eyes, now with pupils, of course. He looked like a normal man.

It was silent for a few more moments as we all walked before Roland spoke again.

“So,” he drawled. “How big is your dick?”

I crashed into Merrick, who slammed into Era, and Elowen’s petite hand flew over her mouth. The Otacian men gaped at Roland.

“What?” He shrugged, giving us all a crooked grin. “We’re all thinking it.”

Dani let out a loud laugh. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” His chuckling continued as he glanced over his shoulder. “Let’s just say the ladies have had no complaints.” Dani winked at Roland, shifted his eyes to Viola for a moment, then continued looking forward.

It was easy to say we were all flabbergasted. Roland chortled. “I love this family.”

As much as I wished to explore Forsmont, speak more with the Warlocks hosting us, and eat, I quickly jumped into the shower in my own private room, hissing with pleasure as warm watersprinkled over my body. I lathered my hair, the smell of lavender and lemon the most delightful scent, and lastly, covered my legs in soap before sliding the razor Dani gifted me along them. Then my pits. Then, the downstairs region.

I didn’t like to be fully bare down there, but it had been too long since I was able to groom myself properly. I was smooth everywhere now.

When I exited the shower, I felt like a new woman. I brushed my teeth, happy to be using a new toothbrush instead of the one I used on our journey. I sighed happily at the taste of mint in my mouth.

When I left the bathroom, I padded across the soft, wooden floors. I slipped on the smooth, cotton loungewear Ayla had made me, and when I snuggled up under the thick comforter, I was easily asleep in seconds.

Chapter Fourteen

LENA

When my eyes fluttered open, they went directly to the clock at my bedside.

8:10 pm. Damn, I slept for a while.

I sighed, sitting up and rubbing my eyes so hard I saw stars. I wasn’t sure what everyone else was up to, but I could assume they all showered and rested just as I had…though my sleeping schedule had been the most screwed up.

My thoughts drifted back to that Vampire. Daris. I glimpsed at my wrist, free of any scarring thanks to Elowen, and wondered how the man had survived in that pass. How longhadhe been surviving? He could be hundreds of years old, for all I knew.

I yawned. I was decently rested, and now all I could think of was Roland and that damned kiss.

Did he even want me anymore? We’d hardly spoken since my confession about my miscarriage, and while he did mention he was eager to get me alone, he could have been teasing.

I decided to hell with it; I was going to go to his room. My hair was all down for once, and my curls were shiny and bouncy from my shower. I crossed my arms, unsure of what I was going to wear. I could head over in this, my shorts and long-sleeved shirt…but perhaps that was too forward.

I glanced around my room until my eyes caught my dresser. On it lay folded-up clothes with a note. I padded over, picking up the small piece of paper.

Some clothes to wear while you visit.

-Dani

I fingered through the garments, entirely grateful. I slipped on a new pair of underwear, then opted for a black dress, its length ending right above my knees. It was held up by two straps, and luckily, I didn’t need a bra with it. It was corseted in the back, accentuating my slim waist as I pulled the laces tight. Last was a fresh pair of socks and my boots, which I noticed had been cleaned.

I went back into the bathroom and studied myself in the mirror. I still looked drained…I still felt like a stranger was staring back at me.

My attention went downward as I examined Ryia’s necklace, wondering just how this piece of jewelry could provide me with answers of some kind.

Sighing, I peered down at the vanity and noticed a pouch with another note atop it.

In case you like to get dolled up, not that you need any.

-Dani
