Chapter Nineteen

“What are you working on?” Vivi’s sleepy voice came from the entrance to the London safe house’s kitchen.

I’m working on anything that’ll keep me from thinking about the fact we’re here alone. At night. And you’re so fucking gorgeous in that flimsy nightgown you borrowed from my mother. Which was all kinds of messed up to like his mother’s lingerie, even though he admitted his mom had great taste.

Ky closed his laptop. “Why are you up? You seemed zonked when we got into London a few hours ago.”

She rubbed her eyes with the palm of her hand. “The softness of the bed woke me up. Didn’t feel right. How can it feel reassuring to sleep on something hard like the floor?”

“The sofa near the TV is hard as hell. Want to see if there’s anything on to watch?”

“Will you sit with me while I watch?”

He compressed his lips.

“You’re avoiding me. I get it.” She swallowed and looked him over. Her long dark hair floated unbound down her back. The outfit had a daring dip in the front that provided a teasing view of the top of her breasts. “You’re back to being scared of me.”

“If I wanted to avoid you, I’d ditch this place until morning.” A pulsation started at the base of his spine as he waited for her to stop staring at his lips. The more she stared, the harder he got. “I’m not scared.”

It came out hoarse and less than convincing.

He was tempted to reach out and close the space between them. He’d take her mouth with his.

She fiddled with the edge of the kitchen counter. “You’re not the kind of person to leave. Plus, you were probably ordered by Roman to stay on guard duty.”

He didn’t argue. No point.

She took the seat near him. So close that he could feel the heat coming off her. He could smell her freshly showered skin and the flowery shampoo she used in her hair. It was the same stuff he’d used, but on her it smelled a hundred times better.

“Now that you’re out and free, what do you want to do with your life?” he asked. “Once we figure out how to erase the mental triggers and make it safe for you not to worry about someone else ordering you to do things?”

“Everything,” she answered simply.

“Anything more specific?”

“Work on rebuilding my magic skills.”

“I thought you preferred to ignore your magic.”

“It’s been painful to try to suppress it. When I used it to help you, it was freeing. It felt right. I’d like to put the skills to use for the greater good. Maybe saving animals or something.”

“The greater good, huh? Does that mean you’re going to start a wildlife rehab organization? Or are you going vigilante to try to take down this group who imprisoned us?”

A flush crept across her face.

He said, “That’s our job—to go after those guys. We’re better equipped to do it, but I understand the need for vengeance.”

“I’m going after the people who killed my sister.
