Chapter 13

For Science!

The day before, I’d been thinking it’d be difficult to get myself frightened and stressed enough to have a suitably hormone-inducing reaction. After all, day one of the experiment hadn’t done more than annoy me and get a lot of dirt in my hair.

Unfortunately, it was the same today.

I should’ve been freaked out. The rinsing-out and the self-lubing and the safeword conversation had been more than enough to rub in the reality of what we were about to do.

But none of it mattered. The sticky underwear, the knowledge that I’d have Colin fucking me within an hour or two…now that I was here, with my phlebotomy kit in my backpack and the prospect of real results, I couldn’t bring myself to care. If anything, I was hoping I’d be able to focus enough on the visceral parts of the experiment to get a reaction that’d be worth it, instead of my mind wandering to all the lab work I couldn’t wait to start later that evening.

Besides, this was Colin, and I hated myself for doubting him—but yesterday’s ‘getting carried away’ notwithstanding, I couldn’t help thinking he was as likely to make some dumb sex joke at a crucial moment as he was to really get into his role as a predatory, Neanderthal-esque alpha with no concept of consent or boundaries.

But maybe I was wrong about that.

Maybe he’d play his part perfectly. Maybe he’d manage to overlook my lack of breasts, a vagina, and everything else he tended to find physically appealing. He’d only had one semi-serious girlfriend, a werewolf he’d met while I was away at grad school. She’d been petite, curvy, platinum blonde, and gorgeous, not to mention female. In other words, my absolute polar opposite in every way. Weirdly, I still kept in touch with her, since she’d gone on to get a biology doctorate and occasionally did research that impinged on my areas of interest, and we had similar senses of humor.

Colin and I apparently had ‘girls who left us for higher education’ in common.

I checked my watch. Okay, it’d been half an hour. He ought to be coming after me any time now. I took off my backpack and did one last double-check to make sure nothing breakable was in a position to get crushed if he jumped me like last time. To make extra sure, I took off my jacket, wrapped it around everything, and tucked it back in. I didn’t need the jacket anyway, since the clothes would presumably be coming off in a bit.

I set off again, trying to take a different route than I had the day before—not that I had any confidence in that. I liked trees. But they all looked more or less the same.

A flock of birds startled out of some of those identical trees fifty yards or so away with a chorus of raucous protests, and I jumped, my heartrate finally going up a few beats a minute. Colin? Or something else?

I kept going, angling away from where the birds had come from, dodging and weaving to confuse my scent trail.
