Chapter Twelve

In truth, JF didn’t want to go on a stupid fucking tour. If he wanted to explore the volcano, he’d do it himself by air where he’d cover more ground. Problem was he wouldn’t see much at night, and before he began flying over it during the day, he wanted a better idea of what to expect.

Logic, however, didn’t make him any happier, not given he was jounced about in a fucking truck, which could have brought along Stacey if Jan wasn’t determined to glue herself to his side.

The annoying female wasn’t necessary to the tour, something he realized not long after their departure. Jan commandeered the seat beside him in the all-terrain vehicle, a modified pickup truck. In the bed of it, two rows of benches with roll bars overhead. Each bench sat four people, all men. All shifters. The benches could have squeezed one or two more.

But then again, probably best they didn’t. As it was, JF was getting too close to Stacey.

Too hungry for her.

If Jan hadn’t interrupted this morning, how far would things have gone?

All the way, the beast replied with a dark laugh.

JF had mistakenly—no, he’d purposely nicked her lip for a taste. It only made things worse. Now he truly knew how sweet she tasted. He wanted more.

Drink up, buttercup. His inner monster didn’t have any qualms.

How long could he hold out if she kept insisting?

Not long if she attacked him with kisses again.

I need to stay away. Keep himself out of temptation’s reach. Away from those luscious lips.

What of my promise to her? The one he’d made promising her an embrace if she behaved. Probably nothing to worry about. No way would Stacey go an entire day staying out of trouble.

She was trouble with a capital T. The woman needed a keeper. A man to watch over her and punch out those that might take offense at her princess airs.

I should have stuck close to her.

He looked back in the direction of the resort. They hadn’t gone too far yet. He could jump out and make it back within an hour.

The mere fact that he calculated it meant he deserved the mental slap.

The strange urge he had to watch over her was why he had to escape. Why he’d chosen to embark on this lame jungle adventure.

Stay away. Far away. Even if bored and tortured by a desperate woman.

Give the expedition a chance. Maybe he’d learn something.

Yeah, like where to hide a body on this island.

Hehehe.

The front cab of the truck held a driver and a partner who read off a script as they drove through a rutted track in the jungle. A history of the island, which he tuned out, much like he tuned out the woman beside him.

Jan babbled, and he grunted and nodded every so often, only partially listening. Not once did the bubbly blonde reveal anything he needed to know. Such a waste of air, so he interrupted her to ask a question.

“I thought the volcano was on protected land.
