I woke up to heat. That was the only way to put it, pure blinding heat. It felt like I was on fire from my head to my toes. The bed was too hot, Xander's body beneath mine felt cooling slightly but it wasn't enough.
I moved to take off the sheets and covering around me but it made no difference, I was practically aflame. Without hesitation, I jumped off the bed moving straight to the bathroom not caring about my nudity.
When I got into the bathroom, I stepped into the bathtub immediately and ran cold water into it. It worked for about five minutes and then the water got hot and so did the tub and I had to get out.
Running out of options I tried the shower, but even that only helped out for a few minutes, and then the water wasn't cold enough, or maybe the heat I was feeling kept rising each time I tried dampening it.
