Stephanie nearly had a heart attack when a big flying beast suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in the driveway in front of her car. Slamming on the brakes, she stared wide-eyed for a moment, her mind slow to recognize that the huge winged animal she was looking at was Thorne. It was the wings. They were freaking huge! Stretching a good ten or twelve feet to either side of him. She’d never seen them open before. He always kept them tightly bunched up on his back. She’d had no idea they were so large.

Once she realized it was him, Stephanie dropped back in the driver’s seat and simply stared. He was positively stunning. Majestic. The most beautiful man she’d ever seen, and he was speaking to her. Stephanie realized that when she stopped ogling his pretty wings and his muscular body in the tight jeans and T-shirt he was wearing, and shifted her gaze to his face where his lips were moving.

Leaning forward, she turned off the SUV’s radio and then pushed the button to lower her window and leaned her head out to ask, “Were you saying something? I couldn’t hear you over the radio.”

Exasperation crossing his face, Thorne drew his wings in and she watched with fascination as they shrank away behind his back to rest neatly there.

“Awesome,” she breathed with wonder, and honestly had no idea where all that wing went. How did it lay so flat to his back like that?

“Stephanie.”

“Hmm?” She forced her avid gaze from his shoulders where she could just see a hint of the tops of his wings. Only a hairbreadth on the top of each shoulder, really. So little showed that they were noticeable only because they were dark brown while his T-shirt—no doubt another item of clothing missing most of its back and Velcroed on—was white. Focusing on his face, and ignoring the way his fists were propped on his hips like some father from the fifties, Stephanie asked, “Were you saying something?”

“I asked you where you thought you were going,” Thorne informed her in a growl.

Stephanie raised her eyebrows at his tone, but said, “To the grocery store.”

Thorne’s scowl faded at once, replaced with concern. “Did they forget something in your delivery? What do you need, sweetheart? If I have it, it’s yours.”

Feeling her heart get all mushy at those words, Stephanie smiled at him, but said, “No, they didn’t forget anything. I might pick up a few things while I’m there, but mostly I just want to go read . . . Cory, the delivery guy,” she finished after a hesitation. She could hardly tell him that she just wanted to read anyone and everyone she encountered to see if she still could. But reading Cory was a good idea anyway. That way she could find out if he’d given out her address to anyone. Maybe. The man with the black box had been immortal. He might not have asked Cory questions at all. He could have just read his mind.
