The second Lexi ended the call, Mitchell sprang up from the couch. He jumped in the shower and got dressed, putting on black ripped jeans and a tight white t-shirt. He reminded himself for the hundredth time that nothing could happen between him and Lexi. She was a mortal, and he wasn’t. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t try to look good for her. He was on dangerous ground even thinking that, but in that moment, he didn’t care. For once, he let his dragon win one of their many internal battles.

He added a dash of cologne and checked himself in the mirror. He knew he looked good. He worked out, and it showed, and he reminded himself once more he was playing a dangerous game. Apart from the obvious fact that Lexi was his lawyer and would never allow herself to get involved with a client, the way he was going, he would only end up getting hurt.

But what if you don’t? That was his dragon, as insistent as ever. When have my animal instincts ever been wrong?

Although he was doing his best to resist the pull he felt towards Lexi, he had to admit that his dragon had a point. The times he had ended up in a bad situation had always been the times he had ignored his animal instincts. It was at least possible that Lexi did carry the Sanmere protein.

Mitchell shook his head. What mattered was proving his innocence. Lexi had an alibi for him now, and he thought that she had likely called him in to tell him that she would be going to the DA’s office tomorrow to get this whole thing thrown out. His cheeks ached from smiling. This was all going to be over soon. Maybe even as soon as tomorrow morning.

He checked his watch. He still had twenty minutes before he had to be at the office, and he slipped his wallet into his jeans’ pocket and picked up his car keys. On a whim, he decided to surprise Lexi with some Chinese food and a nice bottle of wine. She was working late again, on his behalf, and chances were that she hadn’t had dinner yet. He thought it would be a nice thank you to take some to her, although he knew if she made this whole mess go away, it wouldn’t even come close to being enough to thank her.

He was whistling while he drove to his favorite Chinese takeout restaurant. He ordered and waited impatiently for the food. It didn’t take long, and he was soon back on his way to Lexi’s office. The spicy smell of the food made his stomach rumble, and he laughed to himself. If that happened as he made his way into Lexi’s office, it wouldn’t exactly be the smooth entrance he was hoping for.

The parking lot of the office was almost empty at this hour, and he felt a tingle of excitement going through him. He and Lexi would be almost alone, just the two of them.
