Chapter Nineteen

Peren sat on the edge of the large bed and pulled up her feet. She was thankful for the t-shirt and sweatpants Lukian had given her to change into after her shower. Being attacked in the woods, and then, upon her arrival at the safe house, subjected to endless tests from his friend, Green, left her feeling tired and on edge. Green had tried to be quick, but he was the stereotypical man of science, wanting to perform every test possible on her. She knew his kind. Her father was one and Kyle had been another. She was actually surprised she’d managed to get out of the testing when she did and that it wasn’t still going.

She had wanted to let her father know that she was okay, but Lukian had thought it was best that she and her friends just lie low for a while. After spending some time watching Lukian and the men he called friends, it didn’t take her long to figure out they were some sort of paramilitary group. She’d grown up around enough talk of government covert operations to make her immune to it—almost.

A cool brush of energy prickled over her, and she knew Lukian was headed back up the stairs to her room. She turned to the door and watched it open slowly. He poked his head in quietly, obviously expecting to find her asleep.

His blue eyes narrowed as he saw her sitting up. “You should be resting.”

“I feel fine. I’m a fast healer. Always have been.”

“You have no idea,” he said so quietly she almost missed it.

She turned her head away from him. Staring at his muscular arms and wide shoulders made her mind wander to thoughts of sex with him. Why didn’t her hormones understand she was in crisis mode? Now wasn’t the time to be lusting after the hunk who had saved her life. Her hormones didn’t give a crap. They wanted the man—beast-men stalking her and missing boyfriends be damned.

Stupid hormones.

Lukian stepped closer to her and her gaze traveled the length of his body. The man looked like he could bench-press a small country. It was easy to imagine him using that same powerful frame to brace himself above her as he drove himself in and out of her. Heat flamed her upper chest and cheeks as she got a pretty good mental picture of that very thing happening. Her hormones applauded.

Their gazes locked. For a second, she thought for sure she could see his soul and it was a perfect match for her own. This was all happening so suddenly. Too fast for her to be able to catch her breath, let alone think clearly. It was all she could do to remain on the bed and not throw herself at the man. This wasn’t like her. Not at all.

It had taken her almost a year to find Kyle remotely sexy. His looks weren’t the problem. Most girls on campus drooled over him. The Science Department had had a boom in class registration when he’d come on to instruct some courses.
