CHAPTER FIVE

Saxon and Vitus were in the outer room when she emerged. The scent of coffee was drifting in the air but she was more interested in the view out the windows of the kitchen.

“Wow.” She moved toward the glass, marveling at the expanse of green hills and the massive flow of water going past the house about a hundred feet away. It was a dull roar, even through the walls, the water white because it was moving so fast.

“So what is the next—” Damascus clamped her mouth shut, chiding herself for forgetting how completely they’d risked their skins for her. “Thank you for … everything.”

She made a point of not looking at Vitus when she said “everything.”

“But you want to know what the plan is?” Vitus supplied her question for her. She ended up shifting her attention to him.

And felt like the breath got socked right out of her. There was something about him. Actually, it was everything about him. She was surrounded by fit men, seriously ripped men, and they all were lacking compared to Vitus. Just looking at him sent a tingle down her back. Where there hadn’t been a hint of sexual hunger, now there was a teasing of need in her clit.

Just from the sight of him.

So damn frustrating, and yet undeniable.

“Um … yes.” She realized all three men were looking at her, waiting for her to grasp her wits. “I need to get back.”

“For what?” Vitus demanded.

The guy turned her on and frustrated her in equal amounts. “To complete my doctorate.”

“Aren’t your finals finished?” Saxon asked quietly.

“They are,” Vitus informed his brother. There was one way the two were different—Vitus took the head-on approach to everything. Damned if that didn’t make him seem even sexier.

You’re a nitwit … some genius …

Yeah, well, when she was facing Vitus, she felt like nothing more than a bundle of hormone-influenced reactions. Her brain went straight to base-level activity, no higher functions making it through the flood of impulses.

“I have final labs.” She pushed past her rioting emotions.

“That won’t lower your GPA very much if you miss them.” Vitus crossed his arms over his chest. “In case you missed it Princess, someone kidnapped you.”

“Because they are looking for you.” Her brain suddenly snapped back into focus. She pointed at the two brothers. “Jeb is gunning for you two. I need to get away from you both, for your own good.”

Saxon’s eyes narrowed, but Vitus reached up and flipped her hair away from her ear, exposing the missing section. “Seems like you’re the one bleeding at this point.”

“Why do you never listen to me?” It suddenly didn’t matter who else was in the room. The battle was between her and Vitus and it was very, very important.

“I listen.” Vitus responded in a deadly quiet tone. “To your actions. Words are cheap.”

“Fine. What did me refusing to
