AN ATTEMPTED ASSASINATION

XADEN'S POV

Early the next morning Xaden woke up with a throbbing headache.

His head revered like a full vibration.

He groaned as he put his hands over his head and tried to close his eyes to ease the pain.

He got up and poured a bottle of whiskey into his glass and drank the entire thing down.

Then he sighed as he dropped on a seat.

The pain finally slowly eased down bit by bit until it was totally gone.

He turned and saw his bed and he remembered last night.

Jasmine and how much she had been with him.

Her caresses and touch.

He didn't know what had overcome him to go along with her.

Or why he was having an urge to be with her.

He didn't understand any of it.

He rose up and rang for water to be brought for him to have his bath.

After the water had been put for him, the maid had tried bathe him.

"Get out." He snapped at her and she fled out of the room.
