"Have you channeled yet?" Rhiannon asked Vyshena as they waited outside of battle brief. "No, not yet," Vyshena answered, her eyes studying her other classmates before they walked into the room. Rhiannon wanted to ask if everything Amber said was true, but felt like if she knew, she'd be next on the death roll.

"You should have gutted her." Rio's voice purred in Vyshena's mind as she slowly smiled. "I should have, but we needed to make a point." She answered as Professor Markham walked into the room. "And look where it got you. Your secrets being revealed."

"She's just sexually frustrated." Vyshena caught the last of Rhiannon's sentence while Vyshena kept her face blank. Watching how Violet groaned, "That has nothing to do with it." She spoke loudly, and Vyshena felt like laughing. "It has everything to do with it." She answered while Rhiannon raised her brows, telling her told you so.

"What about you, Venny? Who did you sleep with?" Ridoc asks, and Vyshena rolls her eyes. "Why would I share that information with you, Ridoc?" She asked, and the boy shrugged his shoulders. "I can keep a secret." But it was left unanswered as Markham began the lesson.

Vyshena, Violet and Rhiannon all planned to meet in the gym when the other riders had gone to bed. Rhiannon and Violet sparing, wondering where Vyshena had been. She was minutes behind their start time.

One of the doors swung open and Vyshena ran in. "Sorry, sorry," she said while holding a strap of leather between her lips as she dropped her bag and braided her hair quickly. "Where have you been?" Rhiannon breathed heavily as she drank water. "I got busy, I'm sorry." Violet realized how she smelled of fire and dragon. "Were you with Rio?"

"Yes." No.

Violet nodded her head, looking past her shoulder toward the center of the gym. Vyshena glanced around as she tied the end of her hair with the leather and noticed how Rhiannon and Violet both stared with wide eyes and their lips parted. She saw Xaden and Garrick, both stripped from her shirts and had been fighting like their lives depended on it.

Vyshena kept her eyes on Xaden the whole time. Seeing how his hair flung when he dodged a punch or kick, how his back muscles flexed, Sgaeyl's wings flexing when he grabbed Garrick and threw him to the mat. The way his abs flexed when Garrick had him on his back and he crunched forward to stand up. How his pants rested just above what they needed to cover. Sweat dripped off of him and onto the mat as he pinned Garrick, exactly how he pinned Violet, exactly how Vyshena pinned Rhiannon.

"Stop objectifying our wingleader," Liam says from his sat position and Vyshena shot her eyes at him. Meeting with his, he had a small smirk on his lips. He was talking to her. "Is that what we're doing?" Rhiannon asked, not daring to look away. "Yeah, I think that's what we're doing." Vyshena tapped Rhiannon's shoulder while she broke free from the compulsion and followed Vyshena to the mat.

"Let's give them something to watch?" Vyshena asked while she saw the daring smile on her lips. "I'll make out with you right here, if that's what your saying?" Rhiannon asked when Vyshena laughed with a wide smile. Kicking her leg out as Rhiannon dodged it and lurched forward.

Violet laughed watching the two girls, "beat her ass, V!" Violet called while Liam cheered. "No, no, Rhi. You got this!" Liam said while standing up and walking to Violet. Garrick stopped the fight and held his hand on Xaden's chest, "bro." Whispering as Xaden whipped his head around to see what his friend was looking at.

It looked like they were dancing. Vyshena blocking Rhiannon's punches with her forearms and Vyshena being flipped when Rhiannon grabbed her ankle when she rose it to kick. Vyshena landed on one foot and her knee, smiling with a smile Xaden recognized as she jutted forward, kicking her leg in a swooping motion that took Rhiannon to her back.

Vyshena laid between Rhiannon's thighs, pressing their bodies tight to each other. Vyshena's back was arched, and ass stuck out from the pants she wore. Her blade just under Rhiannon's chin as the girl stared at the ceiling with her lip between her teeth. "You can sit on my face, right now." Rhiannon told Vyshena who laughed while sitting up, resting her weight on the pads of her feet.

"Do it, do it, do it!" Liam cheered at Rhiannon's statement while both girls made a weird face at him, but laughed.

Xaden stood up quickly, "I gotta-" he didn't finish his sentence as he rushed from the training room. "He got a boner." Rhiannon laughed, smiling cheekily at Vyshena who looked at Garrick. She watched as he extended his hand at his crotch area and Vyshena's eyes widened. "Gross." She said with a laugh, meeting Rhiannon as both their girls pressed their foreheads together in laughter.

Vyshena sat in Rhiannon's room as the girl practiced her signet. "Channel it," Vyshena told the girl who groaned as sweat beaded her forehead. She wasn't sure why she told the princess first after she pulled a quill from her desk to her bed by just thinking about it. The book sat on the desk, Rhiannon feet in front of it. And Vyshena in one of her royal nightgowns, laid with her back against the wall.

"Pull it toward you," Vyshena said and saw how it was on the desk one minute, then in Rhiannon's outstretched hand the next. "Yes!" Rhiannon cheered while she jumped up and down. "Has yours came yet," Rhiannon threw the book back to the desk as she sat on her bed, legs crossed while studying Vyshena.

"Weakness detection. It came earlier." Vyshena said while watching Rhiannon's face slowly drop. "You have weakness detection?" Speaking quietly as if other people were in the room. Vyshena had to pick one, and she landed on that. "It's how I got you down the third time." Remembering when Vyshena had flicked the back of Rhiannon's neck and she stumbled forward with a hand holding the spot.

"Holy fuck," Rhiannon noticed how Vyshena suddenly seemed distant. Her eyes slowly leaving Rhiannon's as the girl lowered her neck. "Have you always been this tall?" Vyshena was looking out of Xaden's eyes, noticing how close Violet had been to him. His hands at her waist. "No, I was a child at some point." That should be enough for Violet to realize, just the kind of mess she was making, but it didn't. "Ask me nicely, Violence," Xaden whispered. "Or I'm gone." Tairn and Sgaeyl, Vyshena recognized the foreign feeling in her body she had from Xaden. Who was smoking on churam which he only does when Tairn and Sgaeyl were having a moment.

"Only when I know I have something you need. What can I say, I like making you squirm. It's like a sweet little slice of payback for what you've put me through these last couple of months." Rhiannon saw how a tear slipped from Vyshena's purple eyes. He was teaching her to shield, and Vyshena grew nauseas.

She felt Violet's arms gripping Xaden's shoulder, felt her breath on his face. She felt Xaden, and what he felt for her. She felt Violet's chest pressed against him, and how fast her heart was beating.

Rhiannon gasped when Vyshena did, just as Violet kissed him. He pressed her back against the stone of the castle, and pushes his fingers through her unbound hair. Vyshena saw them, the kiss, their tongues. "Violence," he moans and Rhiannon grabbed Vyshena's shoulders, shaking her gently. Xaden kisses her harder, and Vyshena felt it, this time from Violet.

"Two is always better than one, right?" Vyshena gasped again, staring at her bent knees and Rhiannon's concerned face. Vyshena met her eyes, the worried eyes as her questions fell deaf to her ears. "If I kiss you to make someone mad will it upset you?" Rhiannon leaned back slightly. "Not in the slightest." Rhiannon answered and Vyshena shot herself up, holding the side of Rhiannon's face while tangling their lips together.

She leaned forward, holding Rhiannon who slowly laid down on her bed. Vyshena opening her mouth, feeling Rhiannon and her tongue while Vyshena hummed against it. Gripping the skin of Rhiannon's shorts she wore to bed and pushed harder against her thighs.

Rhiannon leaned forward to deepen it. Somehow knowing that it was to do something to Xaden, she would always be down for it. "Touch me." Vyshena said against the messy embrace and Rhiannon was quick to pull up the material of Vyshena's nightgown around her waist.

"I kissed Xaden last night." Violet told Rhiannon as the two girls stood in her room. Rhiannon's lips parted, finally knowing why Vyshena asked to kiss her. "Wow." Rhiannon replied, no tone on her words as Violet furrowed her brows together. "You know, V and Xaden had a thing before, right?" Rhiannon asked Violet who blinked quickly. How in the fuck did she forget about that.

"Yeah," Rhiannon chuckles, standing in front of her friend who slowly sank onto Rhiannon's bed. "I guess it's okay? I mean, we fooled around a little yesterday, too. So I guess they both went behind their backs or something?" Violet gasped, "you and Vyshena? Hooked up last night?"

"Yeah, I was showing her something then she asked to kiss me. Who am I to turn down a princess?" Violet stood up, "oh my God. How far did you go?"

"Far enough to where I couldn't take her virginity," Rhiannon gasped and Violet slapped a hand over her mouth. "Wow. I mean, that spar last night was intense. I don't blame you."

"I kissed Rhiannon last night." Vyshena told Liam who sat on her bed. "What?" He nearly shouted while his undivided attention was on her. "Yeah, Xaden and Sorrengail had a little moment so I had one of myself." Liam laughs, puffing air past his lips while raising his brows.

"Wait, Violet and Xaden? What'd they do?" Liam asked and noticed how Vyshena smiled. "There I was, one moment in Rhiannon's room and the next I was outside showing Violet how to shield and shoving my tongue down her throat." Vyshena spoke in a higher tone, acting sorry for herself while Liam rubbed his lips together to try and not laugh. "Don't laugh, it's not fuckin' funny!" Vyshena leaned forward, hitting her hand on his chest as he laughed.

"Well, at least now you didn't lie to Xaden about fucking someone." Liam said and Vyshena rose her brows. "You smart, beautiful, man."
