Somehow, I slept. It wasn't long, maybe only half an hour, but thanks to my utter, bone-shaking exhaustion—courtesy of Kody seriously bringing his A game—that short nap was more restful than a whole night of restlessness.

I wanted nothing more than to stay in bed, curled up in Kody's warmth while I ignored how badly he'd pissed me off. But I had exams to tank and reality to face.

Groaning and cursing, I dragged my ass out of Kody's bed and winced as I dragged one of his hoodies over my aching body. It was a delicious sort of ache, though, one that made me grin at the memory of how each pain had been earned. Angry fucking was a dangerous sport, but I'd happily wear the consequences.

Kody mumbled something into his pillow, then shifted his face slightly to the side and cracked an eyelid at me.

"What?" I asked, wrinkling my nose as I hunted for my panties, then remembered they were probably still in the kitchen.

"I said," he replied, his voice thick with sleep, "are you still mad at me?"

I released a long sigh. "Yes."

A sly grin spread across his lips, and he snaked a hand out of the covers, reaching for me. I dodged out of the way, though, and scowled. "Nice try, Kodiak. I've got my psych exam this morning."

He lifted his head from the pillow just enough to give me a rumpled look of disbelief and confusion. "You're still going to your exam?"

I frowned back at him, folding my arms and tucking my hands into the long sleeves of his hoodie. "Uh, yeah. I don't intend to fail so soon, and I don't exactly have any good reason to ask for an exemption."

"But you were assaulted yesterday and you haven't slept. You can't seriously—"

"Don't underestimate me, Kodiak Jones," I replied with a confident grin. "I do some of my best work under pressure."

His brows hitched. "Don't I know it."

Rolling my eyes, I started to leave his room, then paused. He was lying flat on his stomach, his arm curled around the pillow and his lids slitted as he watched me like a hungry predator. There was a noticeable chill to the air again—someone must have turned the heating off—which gave me an idea.

I grabbed the corner of Kody's comforter and yanked it off him, chucking it across the room. His howl of protest followed me as I raced back to my own room, and I chuckled to myself as I turned on my shower. It took a few moments for the water to heat up, then I quickly stripped Kody's hoodie off and jumped under the warm spray.

I'd caught sight of the time on Kody's bedside clock, so I knew I had a few minutes on my hands—enough for a proper shower, anyway, which was good. Early-morning-slash-middle-of-the-night self-defense training followed by several hours of sex didn't leave a girl at her freshest, that was for damn sure.

Humming under my breath, I went through the motions of scrubbing, shaving, and shampooing.
