intervention and making sure Thomas would never know how close he’d come to getting whisker burn

on his hands from her legs. Releasing his shoulder, she reached out swiftly and snatched up the phone to

draw it to her ear.

“Good morning?” Inez said with a cheer that made Thomas jerk his head up with surprise.

“Good morning, Inez,” Bastien said, sounding crisp and well rested. “How are you feeling?”

Her eyebrows rose at the sudden turn in his voice. The question had sounded solemn and concerned,

but she had no idea why he’d be concerned about her. That had been Thomas’s first question too, she

realized now and frowned to herself.

“I—What happened last night?” Inez asked with sudden apprehension as she searched her memories

and found she had no recall of going to bed last night.

Bastien hesitated and then asked, “Don’t you remember?”

“No,” she admitted, feeling suddenly sick. Taking the phone from her ear before he could say anything

else, she handed it to Thomas and then scooted off the bed, dragging the sheet and blankets with her and

nearly rolling Thomas to the floor as she did.

Wrapping them around herself toga style, Inez hurried into the bathroom and slammed the door behind

her. She stood there in the dark for a moment, trying to calm down. Her stomach had always reacted to

her upset, and if she didn’t calm down she was likely to be kneeling over the toilet retching in a minute.

Closing her eyes, Inez concentrated on her breathing, forcing herself to breathe more slowly. When she

thought she had herself at least a little calmer, she felt along the wall beside her until she found the light

switch and then flicked it on. Inez blinked in the sudden explosion of light and then peered at herself in the

mirror. The sheet and blanket were gathered around her in a lopsided collection, her hair was wild about

her head, and her eyes were a little wild and a lot scared.

“Why don’t I remember coming back to the hotel and going to bed last night?”she asked herself silently.

The answer she was afraid of was that she didn’t remember because someone had taken those memories

away…and the only people she knew who could do that were immortals, but who and why? The fact

that she’d landed back here in her own bed in their hotel with Thomas lying beside her worried Inez. If

she’d found Marguerite, the woman could have controlled her, but why? Why would any immortal want

to control her and put her in her bed with Thomas? Except maybe Thomas. He’d been suffering under

the effects of the Sweet Ecstasy Concentrate last night. Had he…?

Inez killed the thought before it was fully formed, but she was terrified that the truth was that Thomas

could read and control her after all. Maybe they weren’t lifemates at all.

“Is Inez all right? She sounded upset.”

Thomas forced his eyes away from the bathroom door and turned his attention to the phone in his hand.

Pressing it more firmly to his ear, he said, “I think she realizes she’s been controlled.
