himself.
    “Unless what?” I say.
    “Unless you find that human too
pleasurable to give up,” Layern says, not looking up from his
meal.
    “Who said I-” I try to speak, but
Showken is speaking.
    “Draken, I know you, brother, you will
have that female,” Showken says. I glare at him.
    “Ravla will come visit,” I say, and I
hear the chuckle.
    “Are you still going to bang that
female?” Showken murmurs. My favorite brother is pressing his luck.
I glance over my shoulder, and can smell her scent again. She must
have her window open. I will have Ravla come and occupy my time
when I am not at the office. That will keep my mind away from this
Cess girl. I hope.

 
CESS

    I can’t believe him. That Draken guy
is the rudest guy I’ve ever met. He had no right to march me off
the lawn like I’m a thief. He is gorgeous, but that attitude needs
to go. Showken was way friendlier. This is why the promise is in
place, men can be a distraction. I’m already spending too much
thought on this Draken, whose light purple eyes are so extremely
hot, and the body, with that long hair. Yikes, Draken smells like
trouble and he most definitely looks like trouble. I will stay away
from those brothers, even though Showken tried to say something,
it’s obvious who is in control. I need to get some studying done,
anyway, my dream career and vacation are so near. I have just
opened my statistics book and begun to do some homework when my
phone rings. I look at the screen on my cell and see it’s my best
friend, Suzy.
    “Hello.”
    “Cess, I think when we graduate I need
a break from everything. Going to school, working and trying to
party is too much work. I need to just relax for a year,” Suzy
says. Suzy is such a great friend. We have been friends since
pre-school. Our parents are very close, and Suzy and I have been
inseparable since we met. She always wants a break. I have
basically coached her through college.
    “Really? I think you would break from
everything, except partying,” I say, laughing.
    “No, Cess, I’m serious this time. My
parents are planning a huge vacation when I graduate in 3 months,
to Europe. I was thinking I should do the same, except make mine a
year,” Suzy replies.
    “Are you kidding, your father can
afford to do that, he owns one of the biggest packaging factories
in the world. You, on the other hand, have money because of your
name only.”
    “Well, it doesn’t matter why I have
the money, as long as I have it.” We both laugh, because Suzy is
one of a kind. She is really smart, beautiful, and
crazy.
    “I get it, this all came on when you
heard Luke and Cassie were getting married after college. I really
hope not, Suzy, you can do so much better than Luke,” I say. Luke
and Suzy dated for the first two years in college, not to mention
all through high school. I never liked Luke. He is a jerk and
thinks he is God’s gift to women. He always treated Suzy like crap,
and I was happy when they broke up. She is so much better than him.
I know she is still in love with him, and just hope she meets a
great guy.
    “You have no idea how that hurts, but
I have been thinking about this for a while, and maybe . . . I
might find a great guy on my vacation.”
    “Suzy, I hope you find a guy to get
over Luke, even if it’s an ‘in the meantime’ type of guy. I do
think running away would not be good, and before you say you’re not
running, you are totally running.”
    “Whatever, what’s new with
you?”
    “I was studying stats when you called,
but we have new neighbors in Paradise Valley.” I pause, remembering
Draken and how much he pissed me off, yet I can’t stop thinking
about those beautiful eyes, light purple eyes. Why did he have to
be such an ass?
    “If you mention some neighbors, that
means men! Do you finally have a date, because Cess, I think you
need to move on from Travis.”
    “Yes, its men, fine, sexy-as-hell men,
all brothers and by the way, no mentioning his
