~ SASHA ~
The moment they'd both caught their breath, Sasha buried her face in his neck and groaned. "I can't stay. I have to get back. The females are really struggling and I need to get them used to the idea of getting out of that hall. Some of them haven't left at all, yet."
"I know," Zev sighed, rubbing her arm. "Me too. I have to make sure we've informed all the Creatures. And since Lhars is out, I think I'll be the one running the meeting with the Alphas."
"I'm so happy for them," Sasha said with a smile.
"Me too." He sounded more relieved than happy, but Sasha wasn't sure in the current climate whether there was any difference.
Neither of them moved for a few more minutes. But finally, Sasha sighed and leaned forward to kiss him. She was about to tell him she was leaving when he spoke up.
"Let's bathe tonight," he said quickly, watching her. "Even if it's really late. Let's do that. Together. At the little pool."
