Twenty-one

Wait for him.

Megan had waited for a man like Rob all of her life.

And, in this postfeminist era, she was embarrassed to admit it, even more embarrassed to admit she was attracted to man whose attitudes were so out-of-date that they had been old-fashioned in the medieval era.

She was tired. And very confused.

Those Interim Fates had taken all of her energy, and she still wasn’t sure she’d helped them.

She wasn’t sure she had helped anyone.

The doors in front of her were warm from the Vegas sun. Above her, an air-conditioning vent sent chills down her spine. She needed to move.

She pushed on the doors just as Rob caught up to her. He slipped a hand onto the small of her back, sending a different kind of chill up her spine.

Maybe she was attracted to him because he was so very handsome. He moved beautifully, and she was always attracted to graceful men. Then he had that melodious voice, with its unusual accent, and she was lost. Just lost.

He could be a Neanderthal and have those qualities (although a Neanderthal wouldn’t have those qualities—not in the looks department or the movement department, but maybe in the voice department [although the accent would be completely different, provided, of course, Neanderthals had the physical ability to speak a complicated language like English]) and she’d still be attracted.

The bottom line was, simply, that the combination of looks, brains, movement, and accent was just lethal, at least for her, and he could think she was property, hit her over the head with his club, and drag her away by her hair, and she would let him.

She’d probably even enjoy it.

And that just made her even more disgusted with herself.

They stepped outside into the blazing afternoon heat. It didn’t matter that there was an awning above them or that the nearby building pumped cool air onto the street; it was still the middle of the desert and so incredibly hot that she felt as if she would melt at any moment.

The chills from the air-conditioning dissipated immediately. The chills from Rob’s hand remained.

She walked at her normal pace to the parking garage, forcing him to keep up with her. She had blamed him all day for having emotions that ran the gamut from anger to kindness, but her emotions had been all over the place, too.

Too many times, she’d let a man’s kindness blind her. A man who treated her with respect, a man who listened to her, a man who acted as if she were important, she used to misread those signals and think that he was falling for her.

She rounded the corner into the parking garage. It smelled of old gasoline, and wasn’t really much cooler than the sidewalk.

Rob had managed to keep up with her and keep his hand against the flat of her back. She liked that.

She liked it a bit too much.

Even if she discounted the fact that he believed women needed to be taken care of, even if she ignored
