Zakar stepped forward. "I think I like her suggestion."
Sin stared him down.
At least to a degree. "Look, I've been trapped in that cave with those bastards gnawing on me for centuries. It'd be a really nice change to have a goddess nibble on me."
Feeling sorry for him, Sin ignored his outburst. "We have demons who are going to try and attack us in our sleep."
"Skoti?" Kytara asked.
"No," Kat said. "Gallu demons."
"Ooo." Kytara looked like the mere thought gave her an orgasm. "They're a bloody lot. I like it."
Sin was confused by her eagerness. "I thought the Greek Oneroi were devoid of emotions."
"They are," Kat explained. "Kytara is a Skotos. She sucks emotions from dreamers and uses them for her own."
Kytara smiled. "It's the only way to live. Really. The Oneroi are just too stodgy for words."
Sin had no comment to that.
But Kat gestured to the three of them. "We don't want the gallu attacking us at night. Can you watch our backs while we sleep?"
Kytara bit her lip and wiggled her hips as if she enjoyed the thought way too much. "Voyeurism... kinky. I like it even better."
Kat shook her head. "You are the worst."
"Of course I am. Isn't that why you called me?"
Suddenly the idea of having her here didn't seem so bright to Sin. Having a Greek Oneroi in his dreams just seemed like asking for trouble. "Curious... Can you wander over to the gallu and spy on them while they sleep?"
She brushed a finger along the edge of his chin and gave him a sexy smile. "In a dream, baby, I can do anything I want."
Kat pushed her back, away from Sin. "And keep your hands off that one, Kytara, or lose them to some big mean hand-eating dream monster."
She gave Kat a knowing look. "Yes, ma'am."
Sin found Kat's jealousy amusing and flattering. But right now they had more important things to focus on. He cleared his throat to get their attention back on the matter at hand. "Will you watch them then?"
"Depends." Kytara paused for effect before asking, "Is he a good-looking demon?"
Kat nodded. "Very."
"Ooo, gotta go check it. Later." Kytara vanished instantly.
Sin crossed his arms over his chest, grateful to have some space away from the Skotos. "You have interesting friends, Kat."
"True, and sometimes they're very helpful."
Zakar sucked his breath in sharply as if something had just struck him in the chest.
Concerned for him, Sin put a hand on his brother's back. "Zakar?"
"They're trying to find me." He shoved Sin away from him and staggered to his left. "Run."
"I won't leave you here to face them."
Zakar gave him a furious glare. "It's only a dream. Go."
