CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Vaughn pivoted to face the screen. His eyes widened, his gaze sliding from the screen, then to her and back before he finished leaving a message asking someone to call him back.

She increased the volume and propped her feet on the coffee table, aware of the muscles in her back groaning in protest. She couldn’t remember the last time her body felt so battered, and she’d already one hell of a rough night before returning home to find Vaughn in her pool.

The television screen brightened, the movie’s hospital background a little too bright on her eyes, but she wasn’t changing it.

“You ordered porn?”

“It’s an erotic masterpiece,” she parroted from the description she’d read on the screen before selecting it.

Vaughn grabbed the remote and checked the listing. “Naughty Nurses Volume 5.” He snorted.

Elena shrugged, feigning interest in the thorough examination the nurse was giving to her patient. “What? No nurse fantasies?”

“I’m not playing games with you, Elena.”

“Isn’t that what this is?” She waved a hand around the room. “Snag a sorceress and win a prize?”

“You should get cleaned up.”

She pushed to her feet before he made her. “So I’m too dirty for you, who knew?”

“You don’t leave this cottage without my permission.”

“Whatever you say.” She headed for the bathroom.

Refusing to second-guess the wisdom of trying to get under the gargoyle’s skin, she tugged her shirt over her head.

She could feel the primal weight of his gaze burning into her back, the heat of it caressing her spine like a lover’s touch. She was almost relieved when he remained at a distance, then mentally chided herself for letting feelings that should have been ground to dust get in the way of achieving her goal—her freedom.

Walking into the bathroom, she undid the button on her pants, tugging the zipper down before she faced him. “Sure you don’t want to make sure there aren’t any weapons I can use against you in here?”

He didn’t move.

“You certainly didn’t have a problem getting into my personal space before. But I guess in Vegas it was all about luring me in.”

His lips parted a beat before he pressed them into an unforgiving line.

Had she really expected him to deny it?

She reached for the door. Between one second and the next he was in the way, blocking her from closing it.

Maybe she was getting to him. Progress.

He scanned the interior without stepping a foot inside the cramped space.

She leaned over to turn on the taps. “What, did you develop a phobia of bathrooms? Recent traumatic experience perhaps?” she taunted. She shimmied out of her mud covered pants next and tossed them into the corner.

“I need my bag, assuming you packed more than just your favorite panties for me.”

A muscle ticked in his jaw.

She leaned in a little closer. “I’m not making you uncomfortable, am I?”

“Trying to seduce your way out of this is a little beneath you, isn’t it?”

“If I wanted to seduce you, you’d be begging for it already.”

He held her gaze and it took everything she had to maintain her feigned boredom.
