Chapter Five

KALEB SAT ON NATURAL UNDERWATER stone bench that ran along the inner rim of the hot springs, Serena straddling him. The sun’s rays played over the water as the sun made its final descent into the west. Kaleb’s fingers went to his new necklace and the sea glass now attached to it; Sarka had, as a favor for Serena helping Yavonka get over her fears of the water, fashioned the glass into a necklace. Kaleb had only taken it off once since, and even then he’d found he didn’t want it gone. Strange, the need to touch a piece of glass, but there it was; when he couldn’t touch it, Kaleb felt empty somehow.

The past several days had gone at a far different pace than the first couple; he no longer took classes on breathing and finding your center. He was now in sessions that were physically draining and seemed more like training than healing. Was there something healing about getting your ass kicked by the security guard from hell? But Kaleb had to admit, after each session he did feel stronger and more centered.

His meals had changed too. No longer was he given grubs and greens—now it was protein and carbs. He had free time in the afternoon to swim, but did his best to stay away from where Serena was working with Yavonka. She seemed more at peace, as well. He wasn’t sure if it was that they no longer fought their needs for each other or if she just enjoyed helping the young woman with the missing arm learn to swim again.

But when Cyrus suggested he stay on another week for more healing, Kaleb had hesitated. He’d felt ready to head back and hoped that he could pass his psych eval this time so he could return to work. It was only when Cemil mentioned that Serena had agreed to extend her stay to help Yavonka that Kaleb agreed to stay, on the one condition that they move him into Serena’s cabin. He hadn’t actually spent another night in his room since they finally made love. After a few whispers between the three present siblings and a growl from Rekkus, they agreed.

So the next week began much as the last had ended. He woke early to make love to Serena and then had a quick breakfast in the dining hall. Serena would go off to do whatever she did when not working with Yavonka, and he would head off to tai chi with Cemil, followed by a strange form of aikido with Rekkus—also known as getting your ass kicked by a big thug with attitude—then lunch where he ate alone, a quick swim, a massage with Lakshmi, and then back to getting his ass kicked by Rekkus. If Rekkus was unavailable for the ass-kicking, Cyrus seemed more than willing to take over. But Kaleb’s evenings were free, free to walk the island with Serena.

Their favorite place to go, the hot springs, was way off the beaten track.
