This series is not mine - It belongs to Jennifer L. Armentrout. All of these characters are hers.

My daily routine started with Dee's alarm blaring across the tiny dorm room. I scratched my head and squinted my eyes so I could look at the glaring sun out of my window. "Hey." Dee sleepily tugged her blankets off as she hopped down from her bed and grabbed her shower things off the hook by the door.

"Leaving already?" I asked her as I stretched my arms over my head and rolled my neck from side to side.

"Yea... you know, gotta get to class and everything" She gave me that sneaky smile that told me she was hiding something but would never tell me.

"Ok... I'll be in the bathrooms in a sec." I got up and stumbled over to my dresser. The door clicked shut but it was opened a second later. Assuming it was Dee, I smiled and said, "Miss me already?"

Strong arms enveloped me from behind, "I'm always missing you, Kitten." My alien boyfriend nuzzled my neck. I relaxed against his muscular chest and then set my hairbrush down. Then, I turned around so I was looking up into his hunter green eyes and wrapped my arms behind his neck. He smiled at me, "I heard you and Dee talking through the walls so I decided to stop by once she was gone." he looked at the clock, and then gave me a sly smirk, "And, might I add, we have lots and lots of time before she gets back."

I'm sure my eyes were as round as orbs and I smacked him on his chest, "Since you can here us talking through the walls, I think we should keep this meeting G rated." His eyes were hooded so I wasn't able to see what was going on through his brain, but finally he sighed and gave up.

"Fine, but you owe me breakfast." He unwrapped his arms from around my waist and then went over to my bed and innocently sat on my bed. He patted the spot next to him and I rolled my eyes.

"I do not owe you breakfast, and no I am not coming to sit next to you. Besides, shouldn't you be over in your suite with Andrew and Dawson? I'm sure they are so concerned." But that was so not likely. They knew he was over here, they're probably listening to our conversation right now and snickering. Daemon cocked his head to the side and gave me the biggest puppy dog face I have ever seen in my life. I raised an eyebrow at him, "Really? I've seen you do better."

This time he gave me this adorable pout and I almost pranced right over to him right then, but looks like I have more will-power than I thought, because I stood my ground. "Pleaseeeeeee, Kitty-Kat?"

I hid a smile by turning back to my dresser and combing through my hair again. I could feel him fake-glaring at my back and then he huffed and got off my bed. When I turned around, he was right there and a lock of dark hair had fallen in front of his eyes. I took in a deep breath. When he first started doing his alien-mojo around me, I completely freaked. But ya, I kinda loved it now. I loved that Daemon could be real around me. Plus, I was a hybrid now so I guess this was nothing out of the ordinary for me. He had me cornered against my dresser. His hands on either side of my hips, and he was leaning really close... I mean so close that we shared the same breathing space. He brushed the lightest of kisses on my lips, and then, there was a breeze and he was gone. Ugh! Ok, so maybe I hated when he did that with his alien-mojo. My cell vibrated a second before the door opened and Dee stepped in the room.

"Right, you'll be in the shower and a few minutes, right?" she gave me a smirk. "I'm guessing my brother stopped by?" I stood there, still shocked from the kiss. The vibration that came from my phone a second time snapped me out of it though. I snatched it off my dresser as I grabbed my robe, towel, and shower catty off the hooks in my closet. I then slipped into the flip-flops I use for showering, and finally checked my texts.

Daemon: Sorry, heard Dee coming and had to leave then, or I never would.

Daemon: And yes, you so owe me breakfast - meet me in my room in half an hour.

I smiled as I stopped at his door which was right next door when I heard a fleshy smack, and then Dawson's voice from inside, "Hey bozo, way to eat the ice cream... AGAIN!" I chuckled lightly, and then kept on walking.

After my ten minute shower, I walked back to my room and got dressed. A black sweatshirt with the word "BOOKDRAGON" on it in all caps and white. Only book people would get it, cause it's so obvious that we're fiercer than a worm. I then went for a pair of faded jeans and white vans. My hair was done up in a messy bun, and I went for light make-up. Dee wasn't there to critique my outfit, so I had to go off of my own opinion for once. I went to the dorm on my left and knocked. Daemon opened the door, looking cutier than ever with his hair in a mess. I smiled at him and he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Aren't we chivalrous today?" I mentioned as he closed his dorm room behind him.

He only shrugged and then looked down at me, "You look nice today."

Glancing down at my chosen clothes, I frowned. "This is nice? Thank God that you're easy to please."

"I mean it, you look nice, Kat." He squeezed my hand as we reached the elevator and he stepped in. He pressed the ground floor button. No one got on the elevator as we were taking it. Then we were in the lobby and it was also empty.

I frowned for the second time in five minutes, "Is this the part where you tell me you're actually a serial killer and I should run for my life but you'll still find me?"

"Wha- God Kitten, sometimes I question what goes on in that cute little head of yours." He stepped out into the mid-autumn day and hailed a cab.

"Oh... we aren't going to the dining hall? And, at least it's cute." I smiled up at him and he gave me a rueful one back before opening the cab door for me.

"It's a surprise where I'm taking you." and then he stepped into the cab and we were off.
