I didnât know what I had been doing teasing Viggo like that. It had to be some form of temporary insanity brought on by sleep deprivation. It hadnât been intentional, but when I had heard his breathing change after I turned and presented my back, I felt a flush of pleasure that I could make him respond to me like that.
I had to touch him. He never said that we couldnât apply the powder directly, so I did, taking my time to dab it on each wound. His back was sculpted and muscular, just like his front. The track of his spine was a deep valley that ran from his neck to his tailbone, and framed by two divots in his lower back.
I had been so mesmerized by those divots that I almost forgot that there was a medical need for him to be exposed to me.
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts from the intense urges overcoming me. My exhaustion was causing a clear impulse control problem in me. At least, I hoped it was the exhaustion.
The thought that I couldnât control myself around Viggo frightened me. It gave him a power over me, one that would make me vulnerable. I couldnât trust it.
My hands were shaking as I finished applying the medicine. I felt guilty as he moved away from me, his eyes downcast.
It was why I had apologized. We hadnât really talked about us. Save for a few kisses that had completely unhinged me, I had no idea where we stood. The dynamic had certainly shifted, but that didnât mean that he necessarily was interested in me like that, right?
Not to mention, I had been part of a plot to set him up. He was struggling with it: I could tell from his actions and reactions. Yet there was something thereâsome chemistry that kept drawing us together. He had to feel it too, gauging from his reaction in the hallway. I just wasnât sure if it was even possible at this point. I had betrayed his trust in a very intimate wayâwas there any coming back from that?
I quietly laughed at myself as I pushed open the door. My brooding was useless: I was focusing on the wrong thing. I could deal with my feelings about Viggo later. Right now, we needed to check out this facility.
The next door led to a stairwell, leading down. Like the previous level of the facility, it had a very industrial feel to it. The steps were corrugated metal but solid. I moved down the stairs, keeping the wall at my back. Looking down the next flight, I saw another door waiting.
Still no sign of people. Come to think of itâI didnât see any cameras either. Frowning, I examined the ceiling closely, looking for anything that loosely resembled a security feature.
âViggo, do you see any cameras or anything?â I asked.
He looked around, his green eyes searching. After a moment, he frowned. âNo. Thatâs weird.â
I nodded in wordless agreement. This
