18. LUKAS

IT MUST BE A DREAM, he thought.

He was tired from the long drive to the Klamath Mountains to see Marek. He'd left yesterday after he'd spoken to Kat and spent the night at the cabin, roaming the forest and allowing his bear some freedom.

He'd given Marek the news from the lab and empathized at the look on his cousin's face. The Legion had moved their efforts from abduction to assassination, so they'd decided to have Delta Corps actively seek to 'acquire' a member of the Legion for interrogation. They had to know what the fucking Legion wanted.

Lukas had left after breakfast for another long drive and had headed straight into the shower. Maybe he was too tired, and was seeing things.

So it must be a dream.

Lukas blinked and stared at the vision before him. Clouds of steam billowed within the bathroom, and Kat emerged from it, aiming the blunt point of his Japanese sword at his eye.

Fuck. The woman would have put his eye out if he hadn't gotten the blade away from her.

His fingers still remained encircled tightly around her slim wrist, and she was staring up at him, her face white with what he assumed was shock.

She damned well deserved to be shocked, accosting him like this in his own damned bathroom. He was naked, for God's sake.

"What are you doing here?" he growled, the timbre of his voice showing his bear's frustration.

Her eyelids fluttered while she thought of a response, and a tremor ran through her hands. The envelope held within her fingers shook too.

"I... er..." She hesitated, licking her lips before she straightened her spine and waved the crumpled envelope in his face. "I came to leave this with you."

She fell silent and swallowed, her eyes trailing along his chest and down to his abdomen. She halted the inspection sharply and looked back up at his face.

"What was so important that you had to break into my house and threaten me with a sword?"

She let out a sharp laugh. "Firstly, that stupid sword of yours wouldn't kill a dead man. Who the hell buys blunt weapons anyway?"

Lukas laughed and took a step closer, his abdomen brushing against her. "Easier to import blunt weapons into the country. Sharp ones have a red-tape issue."

She lifted an eyebrow, as if she thought the excuse wasn't up to snuff, but she accepted it anyway.

"And secondly?"

"Huh?" she asked, her eyelids fluttering as her gaze drifted down again. Lukas was monumentally tempted to accidentally drop the towel. But he didn't.

"Your issue with my blunt sword was firstly." He lifted his own eyebrow, and she flushed red as she caught the double meaning. He had to admit that a flustered and nervous Kat was completely enticing.

She tightened her jaw and lifted her chin, the red slowly fading from her cheeks. "Yes, and secondly, I didn't want to inconvenience you, so I brought the contract to you. Signed, sealed, and delivered."

Lukas frowned, shifting closer just the tiniest bit. "And how would I have been inconvenienced had you not so kindly delivered the contract to me?" he murmured.
