I run my thumb along her bottom lip. “Next time…”
She smirks coyly up at me. “Next time.”
“Serath?” Willowman calls up the steps. “It’s time to go.”
I take my time extricating myself from Jana, letting her believe that I’d rather stay, while my duplicity claws at me.
She doesn’t deserve to be lied to like this.
At the bottom of the tower, Willowman gives me a knowing look. “You better shower as soon as you get back.”
“I know.”
Jana’s scent is all over me, and I need it gone.
CHAPTER27

“Iwant you.” Curi’s mouth skims up the column of my neck, his lips pressing to the pulse that beats hard and fast there.
“This is mine.” Serath’s growly voice fills my head as his large, callused hands part my thighs. “I want to taste it.” My hips jerk, pussy pulsing as he claims it with his mouth, kissing me there, devouring me with his lips and tongue.
“Look at me.” Levi’s sea-green eyes bore into mine. His hand slides into my hair, and he kisses me soft and tentative, then deeper and harder.
Curi moans, sucking on my pulse, hands sliding over my breasts.
They’re all over me.
All three of them tasting me.
Wanting me.
No…This is wrong. This isn’t what I want. Serath…Please…I just want Serath.
Curi and Levi melt away, and Serath hovers over me, his naked body slick with perspiration as he moves against me. He’s inside me…Oh gods, yes. Please.
My body tightens, the sweet spiral of release leaving me wet and sobbing with the relief.
I rose slowlyout of the dream, cracking open my eyes to the gray light of dawn. Something was off.
I looked down at my hands, fingers stiff, curled into claws and pinned to the sheets by long, gray talons.
Fuck.
I sat up fast, pulling my hands free of the shredded sheets. My talons were gone, but the evidence of their destruction remained.
Thank fuck it was herbology class tomorrow. The sooner Willowman took my blood sample and got it looked at, the better.

Despite the weird dream,or maybe because of it, I managed to sleep till almost midday and woke up cocooned in Curi’s scent. I’d made sure to shower before getting into bed dressed in his gym shirt. The lastonflex molded to me, a little uncomfortable to sleep in, but I’d made it work.
But it felt good to take it off and put on a pair of regular joggers and a cotton tee from the selection Selas had provided.
Serath would be back by now. Probably still asleep. I took the stairs to the kitchens and headed for the coffee machine. The elites had a fancy one. There was no harm in grabbing a coffee here before heading to the dorm to breakfast with my buddies.
Remnants of my dream flitted through my mind. Curi, Levi, and then Serath. The stress of keeping Levi at bay coupled with Curi’s scent was messing with my head.
