CHAPTER 21

TREY

“I’LL GET YOU back for that.” I wipe my sticky hand on my jeans and stand.

“What?” Her attempt to look innocent falls short because she can’t contain her smile.

I debate telling her the part of the prophecy I left out earlier. I swore I would, but I don’t want to add any complications to this day. Putting it off now means I have to tell her soon. If it comes up for the first time when we’re facing them, she’ll think I deliberately kept it from her, that I betrayed her. I will not betray her.

She probably doubts what I said about not wanting to be away from her. I wanted to say more. It’s such a struggle with her. I’ve possessed unfaltering willpower my whole life. Then Liv Gilchrist shows up and it all goes to hell.

“Should we get ready for our adventure?” I ask.

“Is that what you’re calling it? I like that.” Her blue eyes shine.

“Dress in layers. It’s going to be cold tonight, and we’ll be outside for most of it.” I follow her into the bedroom to get some extra clothes from my closet. “If you need more clothes, help yourself.” I leave the closet door open and go gear up.

After getting dressed, I pack a bag with our tablets, the jar of the agent, bottled water, matches, and a blanket. I stick the sheet of copied notes into my pocket. Liv joins me in the kitchen wearing jeans and one of my flannel shirts over my thermal undershirt. I curb my thoughts immediately. She doesn’t mean to look so cute in my clothes.

“Is there anything you need to bring?” I hold open my bag.

“Here, my Chapstick. That’s it.”

She is definitely not like most women. I pull one of my sock hats over her head and slide her hair out of her eyes. She smiles up at me, and a tingle runs through me, charging my blood. I pull a sock hat over my own head, and we both sit to tie our boots.

“Are you wearing anything under your jeans?”

She shoots me a quizzical look. “Who wants to know?”

“Just wanted to make sure you’ll be warm.”

I open the back door and click my tongue for River. Leaves rustle, paws pound the decking, and she stops in front of me, tail wagging. “Go scout.”

She runs off eagerly. I grab my sheathed knife off the top of the fridge. It wouldn’t hurt to bring a gun too, so I go downstairs for my nine millimeter. I’m slipping into the shoulder holster as I reach the top of the stairs, and Liv’s eyes go straight to the gun and settle there.

“Are you sure you’re not taking me out in the woods to kill me? I’m kind of making it easy for you.”

That hits a nerve. I know she’s kidding, but it feels like I’ve just
