She came awake with her heart knocking against her ribs, a cold sweat on her body and her breath rattling in and out of her lungs.

Fear gripped her, and for long, long moments, she didn’t know where she was.

The warmth of the arm around her waist was oddly soothing, but she knew it shouldn’t be.

It was a man’s body behind her, and she knew damn well there wasn’t a man in her life, so why was there one in her bed?

Except…this wasn’t her bed. That was a problem.

It was a lot nicer than her bed, cradling her like a plush, yet somehow firm cloud. The blankets were thick and soft, and the linens smelled a little like lavender and herbs and a lot like warm and sexy male.

Still, that didn’t explain how she was in some guy’s bed.

She chanced a look down, saw the dusky-skinned arm around her waist, and the black leather cuff at his wrist. Some bit of memory started to wiggle free. She remembered seeing that cuff. She hadn’t focused on it an awful lot, but she remembered it. Remembered that arm it was attached to, the hand…the body.

The spit in her mouth dried up and she swallowed, trying not to panic.

Holy shit, she’d just had sex with a guy who really wasn’t much more than a total stranger. Holy shit.

Ren.

She’d spent the night in bed with Ren.

Gorgeous Ren with the mysterious black eyes, the wicked pirate’s grin and a way of pretending to be slightly off his rocker. An act. It had to be act, right?

Oh, shit.

She needed to get out of here.

She dared a glance at the skylight over the bed and was startled to see bright swathes of sunlight streaming in.

Sunlight.

Good.

That was good. It meant it was morning. She could find her car. Get the hell away from here.

It was daylight and she could find it in the daylight, no problem.

She just needed to get away…

Behind her, he sighed and shifted, pushing his knee closer to her thighs, almost wedged between them. That damn near had her whimpering as it pressed his cock against the crevice of her butt.

Get it together, Aileas. She could do this. Get away without waking him, without alerting whoever was on her trail…

The book.

That voice was an unwelcome whisper in her mind as she went to put her feet down on a cool hardwood floor. He has the book. You cannot let him keep it. He will do terrible things with it. Bring the book with you. Only you can keep it safe.

Safe…she couldn’t keep it safe. The damn thing was driving her insane. She didn’t even know what was real or not. She’d fallen into bed with a man she didn’t know, she’d up and abandoned her life, she was hearing voices, all kinds of crazy shit that hadn’t started until she’d found that damn book buried among her brother’s possessions.

And why in the hell did she need to keep a book safe anyway?

She was having a hard enough time keeping herself safe lately.
