Hicks gave her his back and descended the stairs, fighting to keep his reactions hidden. He’d had a long talk with Dr. Averton this morning, and the results had not been what he’d expected. Although the enhancements could have affected his natural male reaction to females, it was unlikely. That meant Hicks’s response to Whitney was one hundred percent natural. The fact that he could smell and feel her arousal was in effect an enhancement, but Dr. Averton had been quick to point out that while Reaper had reacted to Caroline on a primal level, none of the other men on the team had been affected by her that way.

And Diggs had told him last night that he didn’t share Hicks’s…strange attraction to Whitney.

So, what was he supposed to do with all that information? He sure as hell didn’t know, and although he’d spent the better part of the morning trying to figure it out, he hadn’t come up with an answer. He couldn’t avoid her, not until he found who’d broken into her apartment, but maybe he could temper his reaction to her by sheer willpower.

He reached the bottom of the stairs and held the door open for her, and when she passed by him, he couldn’t help but inhale her scent. No matter how much she was trying to pretend otherwise, she was just as hot and bothered as him. Maybe he could turn the tables on her like she had done to him last night—make it so that she couldn’t think or sleep or even freaking walk without aching. Just as quickly as the thought came to him, he dismissed it. He wouldn’t have the willpower to stop halfway. If he started, he’d finish it.

“This place is insane,” she said.

Hicks dragged his eyes off of her and forced himself to look around. State of the art equipment filled the large glassed-in labs lining the hallway on either side. Instead of the deep, vibrant colors of the mansion upstairs, the research facility was all white and austere. With glass covering the top half of the walls and concrete floors, it was the exact opposite of the opulent luxury above. “Want me to show you around before I take you to your sister?”

Whitney bit her lip and Hicks had to hold back a groan. He wanted to bite her lip. He wanted to take her mouth in a fierce act of possession and then claim her as his own.

“I’d like that if you don’t mind,” she said without guile.

“Out here are the peripheral labs that your sister uses for data processing. We don’t use these facilities very often, but they’re there if we ever need to expand.” He led the way down the hallway.

“Expand how?”

Shit, he shouldn’t have said that. “The principal research facilities are deeper. Past them is our main training room and our actual HQ is in the back.”

“So, there is an entire below ground level as large as the mansion above?”

“That’s correct,” Hicks threaded his fingers
