Chapter 90

Having Ava over for dinner gave me much to think about. She never said anything in front of Valen, so I had been Waiting patiently for her to leave. When Tatum picked her up to run her back to the hotel, I wanted to ask Valen about Nixon's son.

Valarian was now in bed, and I groaned when I saw Valen walking out of the hall in just a pair of shorts. He started moving the furniture in the living room, pushing it against the windows. Putting the last few dishes in the dishwasher, I washed my hands before wandering over to him. He points to the couch, where he sets some yoga pants and my sports bra.

"Can't we have at least one night off?” I asked him. His only answer was him moving the last piece of furniture out of the way. I rolled my eyes. I was tired enough and bloody hot. The last thing I wanted to do was training in the living room and become hot and sweaty.

I tried to sneak off to shower, yet Valen wasn't having that.

"Don't even think about it?" Valen growls, and I take off running for the room. I shoved the door open and had nearly escaped when his arms wrapped around my waist, tugging me back.
"Nice try," He says, turning me and walking me back toward the living room.

"We can have one night off, please. Besides, I want to talk to you, not bloody fight you,” I whine.

"We can do both, multitask," he says, and I groan, turning to dead weight in his arms. Valen laughs and continues to drag me toward the living room; I grip the door jam on the bathroom, not wanting to train.

"Everly," he laughs, prying my fingers off the door. "You wanted to challenge your father; therefore, you train, or | kill him, which is it?"

"Nope, I am too tired," I tell him.

"So am IJ, but you're training,”

"Can I bribe you with sexual favors?"
"Hmm, I'm listening? What sort of sexual favors?"

"The sort where I can sleep and not have to do anything," I tell him.

"Wait, you want to bribe me with sex, but I gotta do the work?" he chuckles.
"What about an IOU?" I ask.

"Na, I will pass. I will be fucking you anyway; I was more thinking you could suck my dick, but since you want to have vanilla sex, I would rather train,” Valen says.

"Not Vanilla, I was more thinking old man style," I tell him while he tries to get me to stand, but I go all floppy.

"Old man style?" he asks.

"Yeah, where we lay on our sides so I can nap," I laugh.

"Why are you asking about him?" Valen asks while taking his stance. I mirror him waiting for him to attack. We circle each other looking for an opening. "Something Ava said to me," I told him.
