Raylee let his hand go and averted his gaze to his lap. “Do you only want Daruss?”
Raylee could see why Jude might not be attracted to him. If Daruss was his type then Raylee was the exact opposite. Daruss was rugged and built as if he ate nails for breakfast.
Maybe it wasn’t about the attraction at all. Maybe it was about the love he had for Daruss and wanting the relationship to move forward as it had been before. If that was the case, Raylee didn’t fit into that.
Jude tried to take his hand, but Raylee pulled away. “I should say yes to that. You’re in over your head. But I wouldn’t be saying it because it was true.”
Raylee scowled. “Then what is the truth, Jude?”
“I’m trying to protect you from us. You’re going to get caught up in this war between the Dragon Skulls and the Chained Devils. Just like me.” Jude shut his eyes and seemed to curl in on himself. “I don’t know if I can save you from it.”
Raylee stood and pulled back the covers, getting into the bed. After he adjusted the blankets, he scooted closer to Jude, facing him. “I don’t know the details of how you got to where you are, but I know Daruss didn’t put you there. The reason I know is because he did everything he could to rescue you. I think he did it thinking you were working against him. Now why would he go through the trouble of rescuing you if he also thought you’d turned on him?”
Jude shrugged. He closed his eyes. It wasn’t long before tears gathered on his lashes. “No one has ever cared about me except for my brother.”
“Daruss does. A lot, Jude.” Raylee wiped the tears from Jude’s face with the top sheet. “I care too.”
Jude met his gaze. “I don’t know how to trust him. Or you.”
Trust was the hardest part of the whole thing. And somehow Raylee was caught in the middle of Daruss and Jude’s past. If Jude had wanted to warn him away from a relationship with the two of them, he should have started off his argument in that way. It would have been a lot more effective.
“You’re here, with us. You might as well learn how.” Raylee leaned forward, getting inches from Jude’s face. “I’ll teach you to trust. You can teach me to protect myself. Deal?”
Jude smiled and closed the distance between them. Raylee was expecting the kiss, but he didn’t factor in how sensual it would be. There was something about Jude that drew Raylee to him. At first, he thought it was because Jude needed medical care. Raylee was a natural caregiver in that way. And there was an attraction, but Raylee wouldn’t have acted on it without a push from Daruss. He hadn’t expected Jude to blow his mind.
