Chapter 64

Eventually, the pain rippling through me eased enough that I could stand without wanting to double over, Darius quickly washed while I grabbed my towel. Despite being mortified at the situation I found myself in. Darius didn’t seem horrified like I would have expected.

He wrapped a towel around his waist before removing his briefs underneath and tossing them i n the washing hamper. Kalen had set out some clothes for me on the counter, and I moved toward them while Darius looked below the counter.  Rummaging around before pulling out a face washer. He tore it in half before folding it.

“Not ideal, but will do until I can get you in town. Or maybe rolled up toilet paper?” He said, holding up the torn face washer. I nodded, my cheeks flaming. But hey, at least he is resourceful.

“Get changed; I will meet you in the room,” he said before walking out.

It felt like I was wearing a diaper. I was paranoid that I looked like I was walking like a cowboy who spent the last week riding bareback across the country. Yet it worked and held in place, but I definitely wouldn’t be doing any strenuous exercise with this thing stuck between my legs.

“I swear he thinks he is a lap cat,” Tobias chuckled, and Ryze puffed out his feather before flying over to me and perching on my shoulder. He played with my hair using his beak and made a cooing noise. Lycus and Kalen were sitting on the bed just staring at Ryze while I scratched his feathers, and Darius walked out of the closet dressed in jeans and a black shirt. Ryze hissed at him as he drew closer, and Tobias chucked Darius a set of car keys.

“I don’t get it. You have been our keeper for years and never went through a shredding.” Kalen murmured. Darius stopped in his tracks and blinked at him before raising an eyebrow at him.

Ryze snapped at his pointed finger and hissed at him while I tried not
