I look up when Lucas enters the room, and I immediately crack up laughing. He widens his eyes in surprise, and his reaction makes me laugh even harder.

I didn’t objectively consider his appearance when we hurried to get ready to talk to Lyn earlier. To me he looked sexy, and he still does, even though his dark-brown hair is tangled and looks exactly like we’ve just had sex—which we did before we fell asleep. The silky pajama pants he’s wearing are crumpled and a little twisted around his hips like he threw them on in a hurry—which he did.

My laughter comes to an abrupt stop when I realize I probably look just as bad. No wonder Lyn looked amused when she saw us.

Lucas’s mouth tilts up at the corners. “What were you laughing at? I hope you don’t think I’m funny. I can’t have that.”

I’m suddenly in his arms, and he’s kissing me. It takes me a couple of seconds to relax enough to respond. His speed startles me, making me realize he’s just as fast as a vampire if not faster.

His lips are so soft and his tongue so skilled that I soon forget everything else. When he finally pulls away, I’m breathless and moisture is leaking from between my legs and soaking into the fabric of the sleeping pants I’m wearing. And judging by his hard cock poking into my stomach, he’s no less affected.

“As much as I’d like to continue this in the bedroom, I need to investigate the vampire who’s after you. The more we can discover about his identity and whereabouts today, the more likely it is that we’ll be able to kill him tonight. Your safety is even more important to me than your pleasure.” Lucas’s eyes are filled with heat and regret.

I can’t help feeling a little disappointed. But it warms my heart how deeply he cares about my safety. Letting out a deep sigh, I unwrap my arms from around his neck. “I guess I should call my brother.”

“You should. Here.” Lucas holds up a phone that he must have had in his hand all through our passionate kiss. “I picked this up for you. It’s untraceable.”

“Thank you.” I smile up at him.

Returning my smile, he grabs my hand and starts pulling me toward the door. “Let’s go back to your room. You can call from there while I take a shower.”

Nodding, I let him guide me out of the den and down the corridor. “Can we stop by my car on the way? I’d like to pick up my overnight bag. As much as I enjoy wearing your clothes, mine fit better. I feel like these pants might fall down at any second, and that—”

“Is unacceptable.” His brows are pushed together in a frown when he looks down at me. But then his lips curve in a teasing grin. “Unless I’m the only one in the room. Then I would consider it an invitation.”

I burst out laughing. “Yeah, you would, wouldn’t you?”

He chuckles.
