Tasting Drakness

Chapter 42

Lycus and Kalen stayed for a while, and whatever Lycus was angry about, even bothered Kalen as he repeatedly asked what was wrong. Lycus only growled before eventually storming out, saying he had to take care of something.

It was now dark, and I wondered how long they would let Kalen stay. What I was most surprised about was the fact Lycus had left me alone with him. That never happened; Kalen was always chaperoned around me, but whatever pissed him off must have made him forget that I wasn’t alone with him.

I walked into the bathroom and stripped my clothes off when he said nothing. M y shirt stunk from sweat, and goosebumps rose on my arms as I waited for the water temperature to go up.
