Day 18 Med Center - Wee hours of the morning

The halls of the Med center were finally quiet as Nash finished his rounds. Grabbing the half cold coffee he sat at his desk and began to go through medical reports arranging them by priority. He was so intent on his work he didn't see the faint movement against the far wall. It was probably best he didn't though, because it could have very well have cost him his life.

K'Laren moved through the Med Center appearing as little more than a shadow in the faint glow of the wall lamps. Slipping behind the curtain he stood silently looking at the two sleeping women. 

He sneered silently as he looked across at his brother's mate. Her back was to him, it would be so easy he thought fingering the handle of his dagger, but now was not the right time. There would be other opportunities.

His eyes traveled to the reason he was here. Jasmine lay in all her beautiful innocence, her long hair fanned out across the pillow framing her face like an artist's masterpiece.

If only they hadn't been interrupted in the cave. Jasmine had finally come to him willingly, exactly what he had hoped for, she had been so close to being completely his. The dark eyes stared down at the woman the large fists clenching in anger. If only.....

Pulling Jasmine's jeweled sword from under his coat he slid it under the covers next to her. A malevolent grin crossed his features. If the wild woman ran true to form she would be so excited about her sword that the whole warren would know he had been here. It would be worth it to see the look on his brother's face.

Reaching out to caress her cheek he allowed his fingers to trail down her neck, marveling at the softness of her skin. Leaning close to her ear he whispered, "My sweet Jasmine! How I mi...."

Jasmine moaned, jerking instantly towards the warm breath on her ear. Her lips brushed his, causing K'Laren to inhale sharply at the contact. In her drug induced sleep Jasmine's lips parted slightly as if she was expecting more and the Dark Rider did not disappoint her, kissing her deeply.

Faint footsteps coming down the hall alerted him, reluctantly breaking the kiss, he blended into the shadows. Dagger in hand the Dark Rider waited patiently until all was quiet once again.

Stepping back to the woman he leaned over her and tenderly kissed her cheek, "Little One, we will met again, only next time things will be much different!"

In minutes K'Laren was outside the warren, quickly mounting Nostragus, dragon and rider disappeared into the night.
