~ ZEV ~
"You fucking idiot."
Zev startled awake. Bald sunlight blazed through the cave mouth casting golden patterns on the stone floor where it filtered through the leaves. Zev blinked against the light, then squinted at the much darker shadow standing over him.
Skhal.
Shit.
Zev started to sit up. "Good morn—"
The slap was open handed and left his ear ringing. "Skhal! What the fuck!" Zev clutched it with a hiss and glared up at the male who hadn't punished him that way since he was fifteen. "What are you doing?"
"Treating you like the pup you apparently still are. What the hell were you thinking, Zev? Drugging me? You think that's funny?!"
"No, I was trying to keep you safe, and you know… calm."
"Calm? You think this is the way to calm me?!"
