Chapter 14
SeeranSeeran waited for Lorran to wake. His brother had always been too sound a sleeper. As a child, he and their eldest brother, Mene, would sneak in mildly poisonous snakes and insects into Lorran’s bed. If Lorran did not want to wake with a viper’s bite on his foot, then he should sleep less deeply, or lock his bedroom door.
He sat at the bottom of the bed, watching Lorran’s naked foot flex and twitch. Any other day and he might have demonstrated enough patience to wait for Lorran to waken naturally. Today he had not the time nor the inclination.
Seeran smacked the bottom of Lorran’s pale lavender foot.
The younger male thrashed, fighting back the thin blanket and leaping out of the bed. Seeran cracked a cold smile at his brother’s struggle. It never failed to amuse him.
