Roel

With Phoenix and his companions in the air and headed toward Sin City, Roel went for a long run before going back to wait for the moonrising wolf to shift. It wasn’t like the asshole could go anywhere, so he wasn’t too worried about rushing. Nobody in their right mind would open that cell door, either. He was hoping Phoenix’s clan had more sense than a box of rocks, anyway. Their dumb luck if they didn’t. That beast would show no mercy.

Slowing to a jog, and then a walk as he neared the huge iron gates of Phoenix’s compound, Roel punched in the five digit code and slipped between the bars as they began to part.

Phoenix had left him with the responsibility of telling Lea where he’d gone, and he’d also left him the keys to the front door, so he could come and go as he pleased, without having to make Lea cater to him. He didn’t want to disturb her if she was still sleeping. She would sort of be on a mini vacation while Phoenix was away.

He grinned as an idea came to mind.

Roel quietly let himself inside and shut the front door, then nearly jumped out of his skin when Lea cleared her throat from behind him. He grabbed his chest and whirled in her direction, his heart still pounding.

“Shit, Lea…” Roel’s eyes widened and his jaw unhinged when he noticed she was in nothing but plain white house shoes and a pale pink satin robe, with her silky, mahogany hair spilling over one shoulder, all the way down to her waist.

His eyes were drawn to her chest where one taut nipple was pushing against the satiny fabric. Roel’s mouth closed, and he swallowed, but he couldn’t seem to pry his eyes away from her perfect, perky tits. His heart still fiercely thudded against his sternum, but now for completely different reasons.

As if she knew what he was staring at, Lea crossed her arms over her chest and averted her eyes from him. Uncomfortable, he thought. Shit! I’m a douchecanoe! She’s been sexually abused, asshole!

“It’s not wise to break into a vampire’s lair,” Lea said, “not even during the day. I’m pretty good with weapons.”

Roel held up the key. “Phoenix left town early. He left about four hours ago. I’m in charge of watching the moonrising wolf. He still hasn’t shifted back to his human form.”

“Was there trouble in Las Vegas?” she asked, concern filling her voice.

Roel nodded as he slid the key in the pocket of his shorts, debating with himself whether he should stay or make up an excuse to leave. He wasn’t sure he could keep his eyes from wandering again if she planned to wear that robe for much longer. His misery would tamp down a bit if only she would put on a bra. Jesus, she has perky nipples. I’m such an ass. I really am. I’m an ass.

He blew out a breath as he ran a hand over his head.
