Celine gaped at his back as he walked away.

Her head was a mess and it had been ever since she’d woken up. And now…? Now it was so much worse. Her head was a mess and her body was a tangle of need.

Her knees were about ready to give out from under her and hunger, the kind of hunger she hadn’t felt since her mortal life had ended, pulsed through her veins in harsh, brutal waves, swamping her. Strong. Vicious. Demanding. What had happened…? The desire she’d seen glinting in his eyes—it had been…wow. Yeah. That was it. The hunger had been wow.

Swallowing, she rested her head against the wall and closed her eyes.

Had he ever looked at her like that before?

I’ve wanted to strip you naked and shag you for the past ten months, almost from the second I saw you.

Shag her…

Somehow, that sounded so desperately sexy and she’d been about two seconds away from giving him what he wanted. Two seconds away from stripping herself naked.

But a familiar, cool veil had fallen over his eyes and that voracious hunger had disappeared. Just like that. Like it hadn’t existed.

He’d kept it hidden all this time. And with some inborn instinct, she knew it went deeper than just hunger.

I won’t be a substitute… I won’t lie in bed with a woman while she dreams of another man.

How had he come to crowd her mind like this? She’d been angry with him for so long, furious. And the pain was there, crowding out everything else.

Then the pain had begun to fade and with it, bit by bit, that fury….leaving only what was already there. Jacob. Who’d been working his way into her soul, slowly, subtly. For all this time. Now she had him in her blood, boiling through her, spurring that aching need.

Overhead, she heard him as he turned on the shower, heard the spray of the water. The image that came into her mind in the following seconds had her breath catching, had her blood burning even hotter. “Shit,” she whispered, her voice shaking. Smoothing her hands back over her hair, she started to pace.

What should she do? Go up there, strip naked, join him? Shit.

But what if she was right and Jacob felt something more…

Shit.

Her head was starting to ache now. This was too damn complicated. All she had in her life was the one lover. Gavin…just Gavin. They’d been high-school sweethearts, then lovers, then they married. She’d never done the dating thing, never had to figure out how to approach a guy.

Especially one who’d pushed her away.

She needed to think.

That was something she’d been avoiding ever
