Chapter 34

Xena's POV

"What the fuck are you doing here, William?" My tone was sharp from the sudden shock.

The bedroom door creaked open and Ryder poked his head in. "Coffee?"

"What the hell are you two doing here?" My shouting woke Ama. I was acutely aware that

exposed.

"William slept here because Ama wouldn't budge, and he texted me to bring coffee. I slept

in the other room," Ryder explained as he walked over and handed me a cup.
