The sardonic laugh ripped out of me. “I can’t even compliment you on how hot you are? What the hell does it matter? You’re mated,andyou’re not interested in women.” I straightened my back. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go to my room, bathe, and die from utter humiliation.”
Pushing between them, I strode to the stairwell outside the training room.
A heavy hand landed on my shoulder.
“Please stop, Kimber.” Rilen moved to stand in front of me. “Let us take you to your rooms. We would like to discuss this with you.”
“You’re a person of legend, and we’re concerned with your well-being.”
“No, you’re concerned with occupancy of my pussy.”
Rilen swallowed.
Roran shrugged. “Fair enough, we are. But it’s not our place to worry, is it? It’s Elex’s, and he’s failing. That’s what we need to talk about. Let us take you to your rooms. We’ll draw you a bath, and we can discuss this after you’ve relaxed for a few minutes.”
“While I’m naked in the tub?”
Roran grunted, grimacing.
Rilen stepped back into the conversation. “No. After your bath. We’ll call down for some food from the kitchen, and discuss the situation. We might be able to come up with a solution for you and Elex.”
I scrubbed a hand down my face. “Fine. Fine. My rooms and run me a bath. I make no promises for conversation.”
Chapter Fourteen
~ Kimber ~
Floating in the lavender and jasmine infused water, I tried not to let my mind drift too much beyond how lovely the scented water felt.
As that was nearly impossible, I allowed myself to try to think of ways to convince Elex to meet me half way on this whole sex thing and just give me a quickie.
Just a pickle tickle.
Make me scream just a little.
Make mecreameven a little.
I sank deeper into the water.
Thatwas becoming a problem. I’d started to lose interest in Elex. Not that I didn’t love him—I still did, but the sexual drive that had started out so high was waning.
We lived together, but the only thing that made us more than roommates was that we slept in the same bed, occasionally naked.
Damn, damn, damn.
What was I going to do? I had to have sex. Soon. It was critical for the survival of S’Kir.
And wasn’t that a mindfuck?
How did I know how to do this stuff? Why was I so sure the mountain couldn’t fall until the magic was ready?
Snarling at the water, at the whole situation, I sank down even deeper, submerging everything but my mouth and nose.
I could solve my sex problem easily. There were two males outside the door who, even though they were interested in males, would probably take care of me in the name of the Lost God.
But Elex was there for this reason. Though I hadn’t realized at the time, it was why they told him to move in with me.
The twins were mated to Master Dorian, and all the angels and demons knew I did not want to cross that man for a cheap romp for power.
