Craved By My Fiances Brother

Raven

The door creaked open. I gripped the blanket tighter, forcing myself to breathe and remain still.

It had been like this for four nights...waking up with the sense of being watched, or finding the blanket pulled over me when I knew I hadn't used it.

Sometimes it was the faint scent of sandalwood -cleary a man's cologne.

Someone had been breaking into my dorm room just to watch me sleep.I've changed my pass code three times now but I don't know how this keeps happening.

Today was different because I was wide awake when I heard footsteps outside my door. I couldn't understand how he kept slipping past security.

Yes, it's a he. I know a man's cologne when I smell one.

He stopped inches from the foot of the bed. I had my back to him and my room was dimly lit ,so I kept my eyes open .

I waited for him to make a movement but he didn't. After a few seconds , I heard his footsteps retreating and the door clicked shut.

I stayed frozen for what felt like forever, waiting for any sound, any sign he might return. My limbs were trembling.

" Holy crap!" I huffed, sweat dripping down my temples as I stared at my closed door.

Yesterday he came through the window because I had left it open as it was summer . How he climbed the maple tree right against my dorm window was beyond me but I'm telling the security to cut down the tree and I'm changing my lock to a key card.

I grabbed my phone to call my husband as I tiptoed to the door. I locked the door with my keys and dragged my working desk to block the door.

Viktor picked up on the third ring, his voice rough and half-asleep." Rave ?"

A woman's voice murmured in the background and my heart skipped a beat. " Who's with you?"

He cleared his throat before speaking." Uhh...the twins. What's up?"

I was about to ask what they were doing in our bedroom at this time of the night instead of their own room but I had more pressing issues. Walking over to my window ,I peered over the night.

" I wasn't imagining things, Viktor. Someone is breaking into my room." I said as I searched the lawn for any sign of him .

He cleared his throat again " Are you sure about this ? You stay on the second floor and there is security downstairs so how?"

I sighed heavily,my breath hitching as I noticed movements under the tree." I...I... don't know, Viktor"

I focused my eyes on the shadow under the tree ,trying to make out the figure. It could be a stray cat after all.

His voice came out clipped,almost like he was irritated ." I told you to get a house instead and take Julie with you. A woman of your status should not be in a dormitory."

" It's just a ten month internship. I have to build relationships with my fellow interns if I am to seal a partnership with them in the future." I told him.

" Fine then, call security if anything happens. I'm going back to sleep." He rasped and then ended the call.

I stared at the blank screen ,not in shock because he's always like this. He hated being woken, but still... a small part of me ached that he didn't care enough to sound worried.

I looked down at the tree again and froze. My fingers tightened around the window sill as my breathing stopped.

I looked away for just a moment and when I looked back, he was there, standing beneath the tree.I know it's him,he was wearing all black .

The leaves and branches cast a dark shadow on his face.I couldn't see anything but I knew he was looking at me.
