With a frown, Azura stared at the towel clutched between her legs. Events of the night before flashed through her mind and a bit embarrassed, she looked back up at Lucas who was laying next to her on his side, observing her, with a big grin on his face.

"You just lost all the rights to complaining that I fall asleep right after sex, Sunshine. You went into a coma right after leaving me to clean up the mess. Sex is a messy thing, you know. Loads of fluids mixed together. I did not want you to stain the entire bed. There wasn't even so much as a grunt or reaction when I put that towel there!" Expecting her to lash out at him, Lucas caught her wrist before her fist could hit his shoulder.

She squinted her eyes. "Maybe you should grab a fucking condom next time. Saves you time cleaning."

There was no way she could maintain the same stern tone and hide the smile that wanted to show itself. She tried punching his shoulder again but Lucas caught her again and pulled her on top of him and held her hand behind her back. The twinkle in his eyes betrayed how much he enjoyed play fighting with her.

"Did you find a condom in this place? I for sure didn't."

She huffed in response, her black hair falling in front of her face as she pried between his ribs with her free hand. "You...didn't...even...oww!"

"Didn't even what?" He laughed as he had twisted her arm to its max reach behind her back.

Loud knocking on the door interrupted the couple, forcing him to release her. Azura snapped her head back, half expecting the door to fly open, and ready to yell at the people behind it.

"Fifteen minutes till you guys get picked up for breakfast!" Footsteps could be heard leaving their door.

The private bubble they had been in since the night before had completely burst and reality sank back in. Trying to hold on to the feeling of paradise, she turned back to Lucas and rubbed her cheek against his bearded face. His sturdy facial hair softly scratched her skin.

"You didn't even look..." Her voice a mere whisper, but loud enough for him to hear as she ignored the message.

"No need to look. Sex without a condom is so much better." He kissed her head gently right as he slapped her buttcheek. "Off to the shower with you!"

Normally, she would engage, retaliate, and try to beat him, but knowing they simply hadn't the time, Azura clenched her teeth together and got up. It would have to wait till next time before she could get back at him. Something she looked forward to.

Breakfast was simple. Some toast, eggs, honey, yogurt, and tea or coffee. But she was famished and at this point, didn't care what was on the menu. They were constantly being guarded by at least one guard and at times there were two. The guards didn't talk, more just led them from one place to the next and watched their every move. There was no way Marric would let them explore by themselves she figured. They were being held as prisoners but right now there wasn't much she could do about it.

The guard duty always looked heavily armored. Bulletproof vests, cargo pants, and boots that seemed impenetrable. They carried rubber sticks with them that Azura really didn't want to meet the other end of in a bad fight; it would hurt. There were no firearms visible but she was convinced there was at least one more secret hidden in the suit. Something else she didn't want to find out though.

The couple had both opted for the black clothing this time and as the female snow leopard shifter poured herself a second cup of tea, Killian walked in. Zahair, who was still a snow leopard much to their surprise, followed right after.
