Fuck. That was… satisfying.

What had just happened?

I’d been attracted to Kalian; I was aware of that. But I’d been annoyed at him every time we interacted because of how he treated me. I certainly hadn’t expected to react to his apology like that.

It had been weeks since I’d been with Daath or Syrion because I’d been spending so much time on Earth, and as much as I didn’t want to admit it, I had begun to feel that same hunger they’d told me about, the need for a release that drove them mad when they couldn’t get it. I’d never felt that before, but something about having been with them and being able to acknowledge my power had created a need within me. Since my supernatural abilities had been suppressed like they were on Earth, I’d been building up energy. Here I had to hide so much, and it made me want to release all of that energy. I could feel it the last few days, and it had been driving me crazy, but between shifts at the coffee shop and going on missions like I had today, I felt I had too much going on to find time to go see my Kings.

Then Kalian happened. The way his harsh demeanor gave way to vulnerability and desire drove me absolutely wild.

I sat up in my bed and ran a hand through my hair. “Kalian, I hate to say this, but I have some things I need to take care of.” I smiled. “You should return to the castle.”

He didn’t look surprised, which was a relief. I was worried he’d feel like I was kicking him out. I was, but I didn’t want him to feel that way. He sat up and kissed me, softer than before, with less of a hunger and more of a genuine fondness.

“Of course, Your Highness.” There was a playful tone to his voice that had never been there before, and I couldn’t help but smile at hearing it.

We got dressed, and he bowed before excusing himself and disappearing. I went to the bathroom and put my hair up in a tight ponytail and washed my face, taking a deep breath before sending a message to Daath and Syrion, asking them to meet me right away in the House of Stars. I felt as nervous as I had the first time I slept with Syrion and went to tell Daath… this was not a situation I wanted to keep putting myself in.

I jumped to my room in the House of Stars and sat on the bed. Wow… I hadn’t been here in weeks. I loved my home in Seattle, and that bed was comfortable enough, but nothing would ever compare to the mattress I had here. The feather stuffed mattress had dark blue velvet bedding and the softest fur blanket I had ever touched. I slid my shoes off as soon as I got there so I could feel the cool linoleum beneath my feet, shiny enough to see my reflection in.
