I came up with a plan, a way to distract the Krev males by getting them to shower in the bathroom, giving me the chance I needed to plant the devices and leave.

I had to admit it felt good to get some revenge on them.

They might have used me but they would not come away unscathed.

I finished my shower, dried myself off, put my négligée back on, rearranged my hair, and tucked the devices back in my hand.

I would only need a moment, just long enough to plant the devices, I told myself.

I looked at myself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and slowly let it out again.

I gave myself a nod, telling myself I could do this, then exited the bathroom.

The moment I did, Aslas leapt to his feet, having been perched on the corner of the bed.

Feon remained standing, arms folded, waiting patiently.

Their eyes were hungry — hungry for me — and I don’t mind admitting I felt more than a little excited at the proposition of being with them both.

But not if they were lying to me.

I beamed at them and they smiled back. “Thank you for waiting. I know I can take a while in the shower sometimes.”

“It’s no problem,” Aslas said, approaching and rubbing my arms with his hands.

Feon bristled before heading towards the bathroom. “Come on. Let’s shower.”

Aslas kissed me on the cheek and smiled warmly before following after Feon.

He shut the door but did not initiate the lock.

This is it, I thought. The moment I’d been waiting for.

I hurried over to Feon’s jacket hanging from the back of the one remaining chair — the other lay in pieces beside the desk for some reason.

I dropped one of the devices in a pocket, and then cast around for Aslas’s hood and cloak.

I found it hanging in the wardrobe.

I dropped it in a pocket on its sleeve.

I hurried to the door and reached for it…

But did not open it.

“This… This isn’t right,” I said out loud to myself.

The thought had come from my heart as opposed to my head.

It isn’t right to do this…

But yet, I could not go through with sleeping with them.

Not right here.

Not right now.

With the way I felt about their lies and my emotions a jumbled mix.
