Part 15

Enya didn't quite understand how any of this plan of Lizette's was going to work. Khal was the last person she wanted to be alone with. She was more than a little pissed off that Brandon had been killed. She'd trusted him to deal with Khal, and paid him a hell of a lot of money that was only half his price, and then the bastard had gotten killed.

She didn't know how she was supposed to feel about this whole soulmate spell. That would explain why Illyria was suddenly so interested when Morpheus had shown up. She was also guessing Adrianna must have found out, which was why he had been killed. She wasn't surprised that her sister had teamed up with Adrianna

Even after she'd lost everything, that apparently wasn't enough to satisfy Isabelle. What would it take to get it into Adrianna's head that she despised Khal, she could *have* him. Adrianna was so clouded by anger and jealousy she wouldn't listen to anyone, even if that person was willing to give her what she wanted. Unless that person was Khal.

Enya sat alone in her car in the parking lot of the hotel he was staying at trying to avoid goin to see him. Unfortunately, Valaire and Lizette were counting on her to get Khal's attention.

She'd told Illyria not to bother helping. She'd had enough of Illyria's help. So she sat scowling at the rows of empty cars opposite her. It was bad enough that her roommate and her friends had done a *magic* spell to find her a soulmate, and then to top it all off, Illyria had gotten the fucking soulmate. None of this was fair.

Sighing heavily, Enya got out the car, deciding to get the whole thing over and done with. She hadn't bothered dressing up for the occasion. She simply wore a black shirt and black jeans, her long red hair loose to her shoulders.

She stared up at the hotel entrance, almost as if she were entering the Gates of Hell.
She might as well have been. Her mind was flooded with images of the lobby turning into pits of tar and fires burning, foul smells making her guts wretch. The guests were Satan's minions, goblins and demons laughing manically at her. Twisted paths of broken road were leading her up to Khal's suite.

Enya was breathing heavily by the time she reached his room. She tried to tell herself to think of how much she hated the piece of shit, but it obviously wasn't working.

She paused, forcing herself to calm down. The plan would never work if she were a wreck.

She waited until her breathing was normal and her visions of hell had gone. The hotel was just a normal, upper class hotel with dull beige carpet and ordinary cream wallpaper.

Taking a deep breath Enya knocked on the door.

Khal was kind of disappointed Adrianna hadn't done anything yet. It normally didn't take her this long to get going with one of her stupid plans. He couldn't understand why the idiot wouldn't just *take* the fucking hint.

He'd have thought she'd enjoy playing the field. She was attractive enough, could be smart when she wanted to be, not great in bed, but could improve with practice. Not the type of girl he wanted t be tied down to, the type of girl to have fun with for a few weeks, then move on.

Khal lay on sprawled on the king size bed in his suite, an adult movie on one of the pay per view channels. He glanced at the half dead maid he had dropped on the couch, debating on finishing her off when he heard a knock on the door.

He frowned, sure he'd left the 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign on. Who the hell would be visiting him.

Opening the door Khal's eyes widened in surprise, and a smirk plastered itself across his arrogant face. "Enya, what a pleasant surprise." He held the door open just enough for her to come in.

"We need to talk." Her tone was nervous, and she couldn't quite bring herself to meet his eyes.

"Come on, out with it, you can't live without me, I see right through your defence." He slipped his arm around her shoulders. Who knew, he might find it fun, having a werewolf for a pet. It couldn't be harder than a regular dog, they just had to be fed and exercised.

Enya smiled faintly. "Look, there's something I need to show you."

Khal eyed the buttons on her shirt, reaching out and undoing the top few, exposing a lacy black bra under the shirt. "Nothing I haven't seen before." He smirked. "I wouldn't mind seeing it again."

Enya knocked his hand away and did the buttons up. "Not *that*."

Khal looked at her blankly. What else could she possibly be here for if it wasn't for make up sex? She tugged don his hand, leading him towards the door. Curiosity aroused, he found himself following her to her car.

"Where are we going?" he asked, not recognising any of the roads she was driving down. He didn't like the way she was smirking either, almost cruelly.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."
