The one-on-one session with Latrou would take place in an hour. I’d popped in to see Payne, but he hadn’t been in the lab. No point trying to head back to the barracks. I considered going to the shadow cadet dorms. Maybe I could bug Larkin. In the end, Joti intercepted my loitering and steered me back to the weaver wing and into their lounge.

I’d never hung out in this part of the Academy before. It was plush, carpeted, painted, and plastered. The lounge had huge, cushy leather sofas and massive crimson floor cushions. Weavers sat around, sipping tea from china mugs, and there was even a silver serving trolley that was laden with cakes and sandwiches.

Nice.

Joti threaded an arm through mine and led me to a window seat past the curious gazes of weavers I’d yet to meet.

“Sit,” she said. “I’ll get some tea. How do you like it?”

“Two sugars and milk.”

“You got it.”

She left me to look out the window, down into the silver-tinged grounds below. The hothouse was visible from up there, and there was a tiny figure coming out of it, probably Master Herman, the herbs and toxins master.

“Is this seat taken?”

I groaned inwardly and then looked up at Kash. “Yeah. My invisible friend has it right now.”

He smirked and then sat down. “Your invisible friend has a comfortable lap.”

Why was he sitting with me? Was this some kind of Fiona trick? “What do you want, Kash?”

He pressed a hand to his chest, acting all wounded. “Ouch. I was simply wanting to keep you company.”

“I don’t need you to keep me company.”

His gaze was suddenly serious. “Then maybe I’m the one who wants some company.”

I arched a brow. “Then shouldn’t you be with Fiona? Won’t she get mad if she sees you with me?”

His jaw clenched. “Fiona doesn’t own me.”

I rolled my eyes. “Really?” I summoned my sweetest voice and fluttered my eyelashes. “Oh Kash, you wouldn’t want to disappoint me, would you?” I stared levelly at him. “Ring any bells?” There was bite to my tone now.

The memory of what they’d almost done to me brought a rush of anger.

He had the grace to look uncomfortable. “I apologize for that.”

“Yeah, well, apology not accepted. You can’t go around bullying people and then just say hey, sorry, and have it be okay. Actions speak louder than words.”

His lips curved in a slow-burn smile. “You want me to show you I’m sorry. Is that what you’re saying?”

I smiled sweetly. “No. I want you to piss off.”

His gaze slid past me to the door, and his expression hardened. “Have it your way, Justice.” He stood and strode off.

I looked over my shoulder to see Fiona in the doorway, her gaze like daggers pointed my way. Kash strolled up to her, and she grabbed his arm. Like, actually grabbed it, hard.

What the fuck?

The woman gave possessive a new name.

“Here you go,” Joti said, holding out a cup to me.

“Thanks.” I took it and sipped. “Nice.”

“I make good tea.” She settled into the seat Kash had just vacated.
