CHAPTER NINETEEN
If anyone in the fitness industry knew just how great chopping wood was for strength, stamina, and muscle growth, gyms around the world would go out of business.
It was usually great for exorcising his personal demons, too, but that wasnât in the cards for him tonight, it would seem.
It had been a couple hours since heâd received the news that Bryn would be leaving to go home and fight a genetically altered supervillain who hated her just because of what she was. Heâd like to think fear for her safety (fear he knew she wouldnât share) drove him into the snow to chop wood like a maniac. But it wasnât.
Sheâd shown up in his life with all her smiles and laughs and beauty and shined her light into all the dark corners of his world. Now, he wasnât sure he knew how to go back.
He wasnât sure how to get through a day without her.
How fucking pathetic was that?
But he was too tired to analyze the depth of his pathetic-ness. So, after a quick shower, he dropped into bed beside Bryn. He didnât even bother getting dressed. It wasnât like she wasnât already intimately acquainted with every part of his body. And vice versa. No reason to be shy now.
She immediately rolled into his side, throwing an arm across his abs. It thrilled him and broke his heart all at the same time. On the one hand, having her reach for him anytime, anywhere, made him happier than heâd ever been in his life. Knowing heâd be losing her soonâ¦yeah, that was a gut punch.
âWill you talk to me?â she whispered in his ear.
He knew he shouldnât. Talking is what got his heart into this whole mess to begin with. But since he couldnât seem to deny her anything, he said, âWhat do you want to talk about?â
She paused for long enough that he thought she mightâve fallen asleep. But no such luck. âWill you tell me about prison and when you got your powers?â
Declan swallowed hard. Of course, sheâd pick a topic he never discussed with anyone. âThought your boss wouldâve already told you that story.â
âGreer and Rio told me the experiments were against your will. But I never heard it from you.â
Not for the first time, he wondered why she was even here. If all she knew about him was that heâd been plucked out of prison, held captive in a lab, and experimented on like a rat, why on earth would she come here and ask him for anything, let alone allow him to touch her?
But he supposed that wasnât the point. The least he could do was let her know she wasnât in bed with a total sociopath. âDid El ever tell you about her ex?â
âNo,â she said. âSheâs always been pretty private about her dating life.â
He snorted. âThereâs a reason for that. She met Tim when she was in high school, and they dated through college. I wasnât around for most of that.â
âMilitary?â she prompted when he paused.
