“How long are you going to be?” I asked through the door.
“Twenty minutes?” he replied.
Fuck that, I wouldn’t risk being late again.
I sighed and opened the door. “I’m going to have a shower, don’t peek,” I said, working hard not to look at the tall specimen of demonic allure grooming himself at the vanity.
“It’s nothing I haven’t seen before,” he said, but as far as I could tell, he kept his eyes on himself.
I quickly stripped and stepped into the shower, the glass separating the tub from the rest of the room wasn’t even glazed, so if he did glance my way, he’d get an eyeful.
“Who was your guest last night?” he asked casually.
“I was alone,” I replied, probably too quickly.
He laughed. “Sure,” he drawled the word. “Let me give you another quick lesson about the fae realm, this one’s biology. Concubi can sense and manipulate lust, and if youwere alone last night, you were generating enough lust for two extremely horny people.”
Fuck. Of course I’d be roomed next to the one type of being who could tell if I was having sex no matter how quiet Myel and I were.
“Maybe I’m just that horny?” Wow, not what I wanted to admit to Rook of all people.
“Oh… I know you’reextremelyhorny, but this was… even more intense than what you shared with me. I may be a bit jealous.”
“Don’t be, just me and my hand getting very well acquainted.” What was I saying?
Gah!Shut up, girl!
“Sure,” he said, drawing out the word like before. “Look, I can keep a secret. I swear I didn’t hear you admit to being bonded to someone yesterday. Just… be careful… okay? Depending on who it is, you or they or both of you could get into a lot of trouble if found out.”
Yeah, I knew that.
“Ah… sure,” I said. “Well, I appreciate you keeping the secret I definitely don’t have.”
He chuckled.
After that we both did our thing in peace, though, as he was leaving, he added, “Next time you and yourextremely horny handhave a date, perhaps you can do it atyour hand’splace?”
“And if I can’t?” I asked.
Another breathy chuckle. “Then I’ll be jerking off in here, because with that much lust floating around, it’s hard not to give into it.”
“Oh.” I had no clue what to do with that.
He walked out, but I was left with the image of him rubbing his perfect cock right here in the shower. Andthat got me all hot and bothered with zero cocks to play with.
Damn you, Rook. Damn you back to the hell you came from!
I sighed and hoped he felt it when I rubbed one out.
Take that you meddling demon.
IZZY
I gotto Elven Law class with plenty of time to spare. As the professor and students filtered in, I thanked my lucky stars that neither Rook nor Saldrea seemed to have this class.
Hooray for small miracles.
Given my interest in fighting injustice, I was really looking forward to this class and finding out all about the system… and how I could work it to my own ends.
