Chapter Four

“He asked you if you wanted to go see his dinosaurs, and you said no?” Leilani yelled. “You are the absolute worst. Pass the wine.”

Kit did, topping off his own glass on the way.

“It wasn’t like that.”

“No? The sexy as fuck, tall and broad Dr. Dreamy himself asked you if you’d go and observe the dinosaur that you named and classified, and you turned him down.”

“It was a professional thing!” Kit exclaimed. “A few seconds before that we were talking about troodon shit.”

“For the two of you, that’s practically dirty talk.”

Kit snorted. “Dirty talk.”

Leilani rolled her eyes. She balanced her wineglass on the arm of the sofa and reached behind herself to pull her hair into a thick braid. How she could do that without seeing what she was doing always puzzled Kit.

They’d picked up pasta for dinner from Bruno’s—again—plus a bottle of wine from the convenience store. Apparently neither of them wanted to make the effort to cook a meal.

“So, he’s gone out, being all manly, man of the forest, Tarzan-style shit, right?”

“I doubt Dr. Beck puts it quite like that,” Kit said drily.

Logan Beck wasn’t the Tarzan type. He had a square jaw and pretty brown eyes, sure, but his hair was cropped short to his head and his skin was darkly tanned from working outside. Logan was less rippling abdominals and more brute strength, barrel-chested, big arms, and thick thighs. Not that Kit had noticed, of course.

Leilani shrugged. “You never know.”

“But yeah. Someone said he could be gone for a week or more.”

They looked out the window together. The rain had eased off some, but it had been pouring earlier in the day. Kit was so totally ignorant of what it took to actually sustain oneself out in those conditions. He wouldn’t even know where to start. Even as a kid, he was more of an indoorsy person. He’d liked to read and learn and play computer games when his moms weren’t around to bug him about it. He’d never camped in his life.

“Can anyone get hold of him out there?”

Kit shrugged. “I guess his phone would work.”

“You sure?”

“No idea,” Kit said, a little waspishly. “I didn’t exactly grill him on survival techniques.”

Leilani raised her eyebrow and gave him a pointed look, one that was all too familiar. She used it a lot when he was being unreasonable.

“Kit. I’m not your mother. God knows you have enough of those already. But you are impossible sometimes.”

“Am not,” Kit said, sulking.

Leilani dropped the subject and turned to something far more gossipy, about a girl in one of the dung labs who was apparently screwing one of the maintenance guys. Gossip seemed to spread like wildfire through their small community, which was why Kit always went out of his way to be extra polite to Logan in public. They had both been caught yelling at each other way too many times.

Politics on the island was a delicate thing too. Technically they were an international community working for a common goal, meaning no one country led or owned the research and discoveries.
