CHAPTER 13

Linc and I hung out together the rest of the night and the following day. On Saturday afternoon, Linc informed me I was going with him on his hunt, because he’d already told Greene just that, and that I didn’t have a choice in the matter. To him, it was a settled deal. I didn’t argue this time. If he really wanted me there, and had in fact told Greene, then I figured he really meant it.

After his big declaration of you’re-going-with-me, he made me go to the gym with him. Normally, I really hated the gym, but I had to admit I had fun watching Linc. He usually went alone, because he knew my aversion to all things exercise, so it was a nice change. He made me do everything he did, but only half as much. If he did twenty repetitions of something, I did ten. If he used thirty-pound weights, he made me use fifteen. It made me feel slightly girly, especially when the weights seemed really light.

I was mesmerized by the way his muscles moved and worked. His back and neck were straight, revealing the lines of his shoulders blades when he did what he called triceps kick-backs. I about drooled when he lowered part of the bench so he could do crunches on it. His abs contracted and relaxed, and I nearly dropped a dumbbell on my foot because my focus was completely shot. Linc had killer abs.

After that, I decided it was safer to just watch and not try to participate.

I never thought watching a guy in the gym get all sweaty would be appealing, but when it was my guy, apparently I liked it well enough.

Linc’s eyes were cool and calm and his face was set in concentration. He still told me what he did and what it was called, but as soon as he started the exercise, it was like nothing and no one else was around, like it was just him and the equipment. Sweat poured over his face, beaded down the line of his spine. He was shirtless, wearing sweatpants that hung on his hips. How could sweatpants be sexy? I’d asked myself that question over a dozen times in the hour we’d spent at the gym, and I never came close to finding an answer except to say it was all Linc’s doing.

As we were picking up our towels and water bottles, Peter walked into the gym. He looked at me. “Can I have a minute, Jade?”

“Sure.”

Linc tossed his towel over his shoulder. “I need to go grab a shower,” he said. “Do we meet you in the weapons room?” he asked Peter.

“No. Just meet us outside in an hour.”

Linc nodded, then waved bye to me.

As soon as Linc was gone, Peter’s entire expression changed from light and easy to something darker, like he had bad news to deliver.

“What’s wrong?” I asked him.

Peter stepped closer. “Look, the Director asked me to keep an eye on Linc, so I could judge his behavior and see if he’s ready for this.
