Chapter 15

I climbed out of Kai’s jeep after a more physical goodbye than we’d ever had before and pranced into the resort lobby. Pranced. I felt like a fucking lighthouse beacon, or one of those flashing neon signs. Heads turned as I walked past — more heads then when I’d had the pheromones cranked up. If I had been Selma Hiyek buck naked, I wouldn’t have attracted as much attention.

And I loved it. Damn it all; no wonder Irix had been hounding me to up my game. Was this how he felt all the time? Probably more, since he had nearly two-thousand years on me. I could pick up the world and carry it around. I could pull the stars from the heavens and string them into a necklace. I could snuff that fire elemental like a birthday candle. Each moment that passed, the power Kai had given me settled and grew, filling me with a sense of invincibility. I couldn’t wait to show Irix. But, of course, he wasn’t in our room.

I paced around like a caged tiger. It was late afternoon, and I’d texted him that I was going to be out with Kai until dinner. The thought of waiting and working on my thesis for two hours drove me nearly insane. I needed to do something — something beyond wear a path through the plush carpet. So out I went.

I was smart enough to realize I couldn’t drive in my high-as-a-kite-on-sex state, so I took a taxi. It’s a wonder the guy didn’t wreck — his gaze stayed glued to me in the rearview mirror as he negotiated traffic seemingly by psychic power. Some sense crept through my insane ideas of invincibility, and I asked him to let me off in Lahaina. It was only a few miles from the resort, and I knew I was risking an encounter with Cleo, but I just didn’t give a fuck.

The little beachfront restaurant was packed with diners having a late lunch or just enjoying the view with a drink. Men in shorts sat at the bar beside guys sporting garishly bright swimming trunks. Women wore breezy cover-ups over their bathing suits. This was clearly a tourist spot, and I was hesitant as I stood in the doorway, feeling very much like a piranha in a koi pond.

I didn’t hear music screeching to a stop. No crowds of people turned to stare at me. No one came rushing over to throw my ass to the curb. What they did do was eye me from behind menus and the shelter of sunglasses, as if I were a celebrity they were trying hard not to stare at. The drunk feeling was doing more than making me an eye magnet and filling me with a sense of power; I could see the energy in the humans, the quality and quantity, the color that hinted at their emotional state. It would make hunting for sexual partners so much easier. Why hadn’t Irix told me about this? Now I finally knew what he meant when he chastised me for my starvation diet.
