After the training session with the soldiers, I was in an unusually good mood. The kind of mood that made me want to do something reckless, maybe even stupid. My thoughts kept drifting back to Aeliana, that damn kiss, and the way her lips had felt against mine.
It was enough to drive me crazy. I couldn't get her out of my head, and the more I thought about her, the more I realized I needed to see her. Right now.
But first, I needed to get cleaned up. I was covered in sweat, dirt, and probably some blood from sparring. Definitely not the best look if I was planning on seeing Aeliana.
So, I headed to my quarters and took a quick shower, scrubbing away the grime from the training ground. The water was scalding hot, just the way I liked it, and it helped to clear my head a little, but not enough to shake off the thoughts of Aeliana.
