Chapter 360

'ONE HOUR!' THE SHOUT AND thumping on the door made him jerk up, heart pounding while he muttered an expletive under his breath. Cat jerked awake with his movement, peering around slit eyed.

'What?' The question was lost in a yawn.

'An hour to go.'

'ONE HOUR!' She sat bolt upright, shunting herself to the edge of the bed before crouching for shoes.

Thoroughly confused Alek climbed off the bed too. 'Kitten? Why the rush?'

'Make-up in Kassie's room,' Cat said hurriedly while stripping her dress off.

'You need to be naked?!' The confusion only grew.

Cat gave a laugh while bent over the trunk of clothes, withdrawing with a robe in hand. 'No, love. I need a robe. You get dressed, I'll be back in time to get dressed and then we'll go.' She zipped back to his side, tiptoeing to kiss his mouth then dashed out of the room.
