Cousins- Part 1

Penny looked at the man who looked intimidating. His presence somewhere that made her feel daunted, his red eyes staring right into her but she didn't back away. It wasn't because Penny was trying to stand her ground by revolting on the status of her clothes right now. It was because there was something about him which made her feel wary. 

"Little mouse," Damien broke her gaze with his name for her as he spoke to her, "Alexander's father and my father are cousins which make us second cousins," Penny could see the same amount of depth in Lord Alexander's eyes, the color very much familiar to Damien. 

The man named Alexander broke his gaze away from Penny to ask Damien, "You bought a slave."

"Is it so surprising?" Damien's head cocked to the side.
