Chapter 10
She rushed out of the bathroom while hastily covering herself with a towel. There was a small chill on her wet body, but she didn’t want to risk removing the soft towel for fear he would change his mind and follow her. She paced the room for a while, trying to calm down and considering how close she had come to giving in to him again. She knew how lucky she had been that he’d stopped again when she asked him.
But she believed he was right, and cold hands gripped her heart. If he had persisted a little longer, like he had that night in the cave, she wouldn’t have been able to prevent herself from surrendering to him. He was dangerous to her in more ways than she cared to admit.
Sara went out onto the balcony to feel the soothing breeze of the night air on her skin and try to cool her heated thoughts. When Archail left the bathroom wearing a cloth cover, she made a point of not looking at him. Without saying a word, he climbed into bed and turned his back to her.
She waited quite some time to make sure he was sleeping before deciding to lie down at the far side of the bed, putting as much distance between them as she could. After listening to his steady breathing for a while, she relaxed enough to close her eyes and drift into a deep sleep.

It was late morning when Sara awoke from a deep, dreamless sleep. She looked instinctively to the side of the bed next to her, but found it empty. With a sigh of relief, she stretched her body over the soft bed.
The rays of the morning light crept gently and silently into the bedroom, and the sounds of people walking and talking could be heard beyond the balcony.
Sara rose from the bed, but stopped when she realized she was still wearing the long towel. She remembered leaving her clothes on the floor of the bathroom, so she headed that way to dress. Much as she disliked her skimpy outfit, she thought it would be better than no clothes at all.
As she left the bathroom, dressed once again, the large double doors opened slowly revealing a female Pradorian standing in the corridor. As the doors opened farther, the female looked around the room as if searching for someone or something.
On spotting Sara, the Pradorian spoke in a soft, low voice, a broad inviting smile on her face. “Good morning.”
“Hello.” Sara returned the female’s smile out of courtesy even though she was confused. She was surprised at seeing a female of their species for the first time. Why was that?
“I am Toria, and I work for our great Vasil. I was sent to escort you to the dining room.” She opened the door wider as she waited for Sara to follow.
Sara studied the new Pradorian female called Toria and noticed that, just like the males, she was taller than Sara. Her clothing was quite impressive as it hugged her lean, softly-built body.
