He denies that, but the kisses he gives me every single time he gets me on the ground say otherwise.
Power training went okay. I guess.
We didn’t go over a new domain. Instead, Amick had me work on Chaos, Seduction, and Consequence to see if I was comfortable enough with them to move on.
I am, but I told him I’d like books on each of the domains. Not just any books, though. The ones with the most straightforward, useful information.
There are so many layers to each of the powers. I’ve admitted and reasoned with myself that learning everything about them in the six days until the Power Worthiness Test is impossible.That’s something I have to get over and learn as much as I can, then be proud about it.
Easier said than done when you’re worried the second you drop your blood in a creation of the gods, they’re going to drop from wherever they are and surround you.
Whatever. My men will surround me.
It’s going to be fine.
I blink my eyes open as the water ripples around me. My smile is immediate as Kyzen stands in all his shirtless perfection.
“Where are you going?” I ask as I tilt my head into the kiss he lays on my forehead.
“I promised Creed I’d help him whip something up.”
“Right now? Is it dessert?” He snorts and gives me a knowing look. “Oh. Was it supposed to be a surprise?”
He steps out of the bath and I unashamedly stare as he dries himself off. It hurts my heart for multiple reasons when he pulls a shirt over his head.
I obviously won’t push him to come clean about his mark to his brothers. When he’s ready, he’ll tell them.
I selfishly, though, would love to see the four of them walking around shirtless all the time.
“It’s something like that. Give us a few minutes, then come on out. I’ll leave your doors open.”
He lays his lips to mine and it takes everything in me not to tug him back into the water so I can have my wicked way with him.
Having sex submerged in hot water is probably bad for my vagina…
Bent over the counter would be nice, though.
Kyzen grunts as he pulls away from me. “Whatever you’re pushing down your soul is going to kill me, little goddess.”
“Not seriously, though, right?”
He chuckles again and gives me one last peck. “The restraint I’m trying to have may really do the job.”
My eyes stay on his back until he’s completely out of sight. True to his words, he leaves my bathroom door open, even though I can’t actually see out from where I’m sitting.
The click of my bedroom door never comes, and I exhale.
Waiting in here alone for a few minutes might kill me…
I trail my fingers through the water, trying not to sink into my head. My nosy ass checks on the guys through the tethers of my soul. Again. I’ve been doing it way more than I have any business doing it.
When we’re all together, it’s easy to ignore the literal soul connections because I can see them. When we aren’t? Yeah. I check constantly.
None of them have said anything, so I don’t know if they know I’m doing it or not. Well, aside from Creed. He definitely knows. I couldn’t tell you if they do this to me either.
I’m careful during my eavesdropping. I don’t tug, stroke, send emotions, or anything like that. I just get a sense of what they’re feeling and move on.
I check on Amick first, like I usually do. He’s gone from the house more than the others.
