When I come out from putting Nolan to sleep, Nash is on the prowl, moving softly around the cottage, looking through windows without moving the shades.

I should be scared to know he truly believes we’re in danger. It’s hard to feel scared with such a vigilant protector, though.

I have this crazy desire to ease his tension, too. Which is weird, because I’m supposed to be keeping him at a distance. I guess my lioness doesn’t understand that part. She sees him as mate. Mine to soothe. To satisfy. To invite to bed.

Aw, shit. I’m totally going to invite him into my bed.

Yeah, him sleeping on the couch only lasted one night. Well, I can’t help it. All last night I thought about what it’d be like to have him sleeping beside me. Would he hold me against his chest like he did that night in the cell?

Would sleeping to the sound of his beating heart be as comforting as I imagine it will be?

I walk up beside him and wrap my arms around his waist. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah.” He turns and buries a hand in my hair, lifts my face to his. “Sorry we never got dinner.”

I smile up at him. “I got what I needed.”

“Which is?”

“Time alone with you.”

Pain flickers over his face, as if he thinks he fucked up that time. Honestly, knowing he has PTSD isn’t a deterrent for me. I think I’d be more worried about him and his character if he didn’t. If I’d had any doubts that he was as damaged as I was by Data-X, they’re completely gone. He may have joined voluntarily, but he was a tortured prisoner same as I was.

His fear of his lion does cause me some worry, though. You can’t repress such a powerful animal. It’s probably why his lion needs to fight when he finally lets it out. Or wait—does he fight in lion form?

I make a mental note to check out one of his fights. I need to see what this male does for a living, as sordid as it may be.

Nash leans his forehead against mine and drags a knuckle down my breastbone until he reaches my cleavage. “This dress is making my pants too tight.”

The laugh that comes out of my lips sounds husky. “Oh yeah?”

He pinches one nipple, hard. Like the other times we’ve had sex, I’m thrilled by his aggression. It’s the one place he doesn’t hold back with me. I’m always slightly shocked by it, in a way that goes straight to my core. “Yeah.”

“Wanna get it off me?”

A low, leonine growl erupts from his throat.

I laugh and turn, taking off running for my bedroom.

It takes him a half-second to follow, the loud slam of his boots ringing on the simple pine planks of the floor. He lets me get all the way to the bedroom before he catches me up by the waist. His mouth is at my neck, teeth grazing my skin.

“Ran from me, did you?” His voice is deep, dark with promise.
