“I didn’t dream that. You invaded my mind!”

She stomped toward her bedroom, and he followed, stopping in the doorway. He crossed his arms, leaning casually on the frame. “I hate to burst your bubble, darlin’, but I can’t create the dreams people have. I can only insert myself into a dream that’s already happening.”

She stared at him in dawning horror.

He continued, “That room…The activities we engaged in…Those were all your ideas, sweetheart.”

Chapter 4

“Ooh!” Athena growled in frustration and slammed her bedroom door in Pete’s face. Arrogant jerk! Just because she wanted him to pick up where he’d left off didn’t mean she was about to let him.

But she wasn’t able to get another wink of sleep all night. And when her alarm went off in the morning, she smacked it into submission with unusual ire. Even her lousy night’s sleep was Peter Grafton’s fault. Everything had been fine until he got here. A tiny voice of reason in the back of her head gave him credit for boosting the lab’s security measures just in time, but the irrational anger in her gut won out.

She stormed out of her bedroom, ready to do battle with him, but he was gone. She stared in dismay at the rumpled blanket on her couch, and restrained an errant impulse to smell the pillow and see if his aftershave lingered upon it. With her tirade abruptly deflated before she could vent it on him, she slogged through breakfast.

But somewhere during her second cup of coffee, an evil plan took root in her mind. During the short drive to work it took shape, and by the time she entered the lab, she was chortling at her scheme for revenge over his stunt with her dream. Oh, yes. Paybanot to grin like the Cheshire cat at him and give away her diabolical intentions.

Everyone on staff was understandably upset by last night’s break-in, but Pete downplayed it. She did nothing to contradict his version of events, and even managed to smile sweetly at him when he shot her a look of gratitude at the morning meeting he’d called. The security company from yesterday arrived to repair her office safe, and Pete left to introduce to campus security the soldiers who’d arrived to take over guard duty in the lab. It was just the opportunity Athena needed.

As soon as he walked out, she announced, “Okay, gang. Back to work. We have an astral projection experiment scheduled for today.”

Her team looked surprised that she wanted to work, after last night’s excitement, but they hopped to it, and before long, she was hooked up to both crown and computer.
