Sylver closed his eyes as he leaned against the back of the chair and took several breaths. He'd lost control. He'd not meant to, but Dixie Daniels made it impossible not to lose himself. Her energy had been red hot, her thoughts all over him. Thankfully his 26

control had left him only for moments, not long enough for him to actually change. But it had threatened. He'd felt that beast inside of him yearn to be free.

Dixie's voice suddenly lifted in a startled cry and his eyes opened. She was on her knees looking at his window as thunder and lightening sounded outside. She looked like a goddess sitting naked there in the dimness of the light.

Fear, intrusion, shame radiated out from her.

"What is it?"

"There was someone there." Her voice shook. "Looking in."

Sylver's body tensed and his head snapped up to stare at the window. His senses became acute as he stood, adjusting his clothes. Stepping around Dixie, he opened the window so the sound of the rain drummed into the room. Cocking his head, he listened.

His nose flared as he sought the scent of someone.

"Are you certain?"

"Of course I'm certain!" she snapped and he glanced back at her as she stood and reached for the towel to wrap around herself. His stomach clenched. He wanted her still.

"Stay here." He closed the window and headed for the door.

"You aren't going out there?"

"I just want to look around. I'll be back," he promised and unlocked his door to slip out into the corridor. "Lock the door behind me." He pulled it closed and waited.

After a moment, he heard the lock click from the other side. Quickly, he jogged down the corridor to the front door of the building. Outside and into the rain. He turned his nose up, breathing in the scents of the storm and the area around him. The hair on the back of his neck stood up as he felt someone approaching.

"Smell something?" A deep voice brought him whirling to face Officer Darq Dillion. Surely it hadn't been him that Dixie saw?

"What do you want?"

"My FBI agent," Darq answered. "If you are done with her."

Sylver bristled. "I don't appreciate spying, Officer Dillion. I am a private person and I doubt you would want me looking in on whatever you do with your woman." His words struck hard pride and Darq took a step forward.

"I don't need to spy to know what you were doing. I kept my distance until you were finished and if you ever mention my wife again, you won't have to worry about 27

anyone ever invading your space again. Do I make myself clear, Professor?" The whites of Darq's eyes blacked out completed but Sylver regarded him coolly.

"She saw someone at the window," he said after a moment.

Darq's head snapped around, his vampire eyes sweeping the area. "Who?"

"If I knew I wouldn't have accused you." Sylver frowned. "It could have been a student."

"In this weather?" Darq apparently didn't believe that idea and more than Sylver did.
