and then the bed shifted. She managed to open one eye to watch him leave the bed and go over to the bathroom. She heard the sound of water pouring, and saw him return to her with a washcloth in hand. Makayla didn’t have the energy to move away from him when he joined her once more on the bed. She groaned at the cool touch of the cloth between her legs.
    “Sorry about that,” he said. “I didn’t plan on being so rough with you the first time.”
    Makayla smiled, her eyes closing, need for sleep overpowering her. “I didn’t mind,” she sighed right before she passed out.
    How long she slept she couldn’t say, but from the way she felt when her eyes opened again, later, had her thinking it wasn’t a very long time. Slowly, with the sheet up to her chest, she sat up in bed. Her nose was what woke her. The smell of food had her stomach growling in desperate In the bathroom she heard a shower going.
    Looking around, she spotted robes on the floor at the foot of the bed. Slipping from under the sheet, Makayla went over to them, picked one up and slipped into it as she walked over to a low table with several delectable-appearing dishes of food.
    She didn’t hesitate. Makayla sat down and dug into the food, shoving it in her mouth as fast as she could. It amazed her how hungry she was, but then again she hadn’t really eaten since coming home. Dinner at school hadn’t looked good, so she’d skipped it, then she got the call that Dane was sending a car for her to come home. Being home less than an hour and shipped to the Compound where the food in this joint needed a major make over.
    “Well, I see you have your appetite back.”
    Makayla almost choked on the food in her mouth. She looked up and saw Darius in the bathroom doorway, towel around his waist and another in his hand, rubbing his hair. As much as she hated it she did enjoy the look of his body. Nothing but a brick of muscles.
    She swallowed and wiped her mouth, forcing her eyes from the god like body before her. “I didn’t eat much since leaving school. Sure I’m acting like I have no manners. Nana would be proud.”
    He chuckled, tossed the towel into the bathroom and joined her at the low table, sitting across not next to her.
    “I hear they always give you finger food first.” He looked at the spread before them, taking a chunk of roasted chicken from the platter. “Maybe they’re afraid of giving you girls things to stab us with.”
    “Kera said she had silverware.”
    “And she tried to stab Devon,” he nodded, sitting back with his legs stretched out before him. She found herself fascinated by the simple act of him eating.
    “Do you think I’d try to stab you?”
    “In a heartbeat.”
    Makayla sighed, tossed the food in her hand back on the table and glared at him. “Okay, how long do we play this game?”
    “And what game might that be?”
    “I’m not going to start being nice to you just because I let you fuck me.”
    Darius hissed, “Ouch. So harsh.”
    “So how long do we play the game? I’d like to get out of here.”
    “You do at least know the rules, right?” Makayla didn’t answer him, only stared in what she hoped was a ‘I really don’t give a shit’ look.
    “Okay.” He took a deep breath. “When we leave here, Makayla, it’s as wife and husband.”
    She snorted and laughed. “I don’t think so.”
    He sat up, one knee drawn up with an arm hanging over it. “And what makes you think you’re not?”
    “You need my family’s permission and you don’t have it.” This time she didn’t stop from smirking at him.
    “Well Makayla, there you’re wrong again. See, since Berdina and Dane kept you out of town, making it hard for anyone to even try to meet you, well, let me just say that it sort of changes the rules. Besides, in case you’ve forgotten, your father didn’t really sign over a thing when your sister got summoned.”
    “That’s bullshit!”
    “That’s the truth.”
    She shook her head, “I’m
