Eleven

Whitney woke up seething and grabbed her phone, punching in Cory’s number before the sleep cleared from her eyes. The phone rang without answer, and she tossed it back onto the nightstand, not actually thinking about Cory, but Hicks. How dare he come to her door in the middle of the night pretending to want to talk to her sister? It was beyond obvious he’d hoped for a booty call. Why else would he have come to the door fresh from a shower, wearing a sleeveless shirt that revealed his powerful arms? It had taken a massive surge of willpower not to jump him right there. But no matter how attractive Hicks might be, she wasn’t about to let him use her as a doormat. And Hicks hadn’t just walked on her tonight—he’d wiped his muddy feet.

Well, at least she could derive some satisfaction from knowing she’d sent him away all hot and bothered—and alone. There were only three women on the premises, and they were all off limits to him.

Whitney slept soundly, gloating over the knowledge that she’d won that battle, but she woke up alone. Her sister, a notorious early riser, was long gone by the time Whitney crawled out of bed. After ransacking her bag, she settled on a pair of jeans and a V-neck white T-shirt. Classic and casual.

Now she padded barefoot down the staircase toward the kitchen, her stomach reminding her it was past time for breakfast. Half afraid to find Hicks prowling about, she was relieved when she found the room empty. She went to the large double refrigerator that took up part of the far wall and pulled both doors open. There were bacon and sausage, cold cuts, eggs—everything she’d need to make whatever she wanted. Her stomach grumbled. It might be a little early for her to start pulling out pots and pans, no matter how much her fingers itched to try out that professional-grade stove.

Whitney closed the doors with a sigh of regret and looked around for the pantry. She found it just off the kitchen—a large, walk-in closet with fully stocked shelves. And an entire assortment of cereal was right at eye level. She could definitely handle this. She selected the Lucky Charms marshmallow cereal, found a bowl for the milk, and proceeded to devour an entire serving. Nothing like a good coating of sugar first thing in the morning to get her going. If she were still here tomorrow, she’d make herself a hot breakfast.

No one had come in and bothered her during breakfast, and she hadn’t heard anyone walking around the mansion, so after picking up her mess, she went off in search of her sister. There were three levels to the mansion, and from what Melissa had told her last night, all the living quarters were on the second. Did that mean the lab was on the third floor?

She went up to check, but after a thorough search of the third floor got hopelessly lost. Finally, she managed to find her way back to the stairs.
