Knock, knock, knock—there it is again. My eyes fluttered open finally coming to my senses that someone was knocking at my door. Kyden groaned, dragged himself out of bed and stumbled to the door. Rolling onto my back, I gave my eyes a rub and stretched, giving a big screech as my muscles lengthened to a point of almost pain. God, I’d never felt better. My body was more than pleased from Kyden’s special attention last night. But at the same time, when was he going to get over this hands-off nonsense? I was beginning to feel selfish. Kyden’s laugh came from the doorway. “That looked good.” I laughed too and rolled onto my side as he strode toward me. “It was!” “Get up.” He smacked my ass. “That was Talon. Something’s going on and we need to get to the Council’s Hall.” Jumping out of bed, I rubbed my stinging butt. His smacks hurt. But I liked them nonetheless. We dressed quickly and practically ran toward the Council’s Hall. When we entered, Talon, Zia, and Zade were waiting along with Drake and Finn.
