Chapter 8

It was nearly impossible to assess chemistry. Brandon knew that. He’d been awake for the longest time thinking about what he was feeling in terms of an algorithm. How did he feel?

Calm, because the drapes were a neutral color, there were no patterns on the walls or the quilt. Sated, because he’d had the best sex of his entire life with a god of a man who for some reason seemed to find him attractive. Nervous that Daniel would see through his lies. Hopeful that maybe Sanctuary could help him with Varga.

He understood chemistry critically. He knew what happened when you mixed potassium and water, and he knew on the off-chance that he would ever do that, to stand well back. Chemistry was as easy to follow as math. Add A to B, making sure C was this-that-or-the-other, and you had a result.

But what was happening here with Daniel? Well, he sure as hell didn’t know what the equation was.

Part desperation, he thought. Could Daniel carry through with his promise and make sure his sisters were safe at the same time keeping Brandon alive? Was it possible he could do what he needed to do with Varga and still walk away? Daniel seemed convinced he was strong enough, good enough, to get in and out without Brandon having to lay down his life for his sisters.

The desperation to believe was certainly part of the equation here.

What about fear? Was that part of it? He’d been the one to force the issue, the one to climb onto Daniel’s lap and practically demand that they do something about the spark between them. Had he done that because he knew he wasn’t going to see Daniel again, and he’d let that fear make him brave?

Wait. That didn’t make sense. Fear was fear. Bravery was bravery. You couldn’t have both.

Could you?

Then there was the spark, the attraction. That was a vague thing. Daniel was a SEAL, with tattoos and muscles and sex appeal all over him and inside him, and in his eyes, his gorgeous dark-chocolate eyes. And what was Brandon? A nerd. If the glasses didn’t give it away, then the numbers thing and the fact that he knew chemistry in a purely scientific manner had to.

Panic clawed at his chest. What was he even doing in this bed? What the hell had he been thinking? He began to wriggle away, but a strong arm lay across him and Daniel stopped him moving.

“No thinking,” Daniel murmured, the words muffled by the fact that his face was in the pillow.

No thinking? That was akin to telling Brandon to stop breathing. The weight of the arm was an added pressure, and he wriggled some more.

“I need to get up,” Brandon snapped, the panic inside him poking its way into his speech. Daniel released his hold, and Brandon took the opportunity to scramble up and away. He was as naked as the day he was born; naked and vulnerable and panicking, and the only place he could think of going was the bathroom.
