Chapter 19

A few dark curls tumbled over Declan’s forehead, and I had to restrain myself from reaching out and sweeping them to the side. His eyes were closed, long legs stretched out and hanging over the edge of the red racecar bed. His lips were slightly parted as his chest slowly rose and fell, his entire expression peaceful.

How could he be one of them?

I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it. He seemed so normal, so human.

I took a step further into his childhood bedroom and scanned the bright blue room. A bookshelf was filled with toy cars and motorcycles, only one shelf actually held books. I could almost picture the little boy in the photo on his hands and knees crawling around on the floor racing his cars.

I glanced at the grown version of the boy and moved closer to the bed. It was the first time I’d really gotten a chance to look at him without those piercing maroon eyes staring back. His silky black hair lay messily over his forehead and pillow. A light stubble dusted his jawline, surrounding pouty lips. The searing heat of his lips against mine flashed through my mind, igniting a swell of warmth in my middle.

I squashed those feelings down fast. Declan was just joking around; the kiss didn’t mean anything to him. And it certainly didn’t mean anything to me.

Liar, a voice in the back of my mind accused.

Even if it had, I had to focus on getting Asher back. That was all that mattered now. A pang of guilt sliced through my chest as I remembered the last night with my best friend. And that kiss.

My fingers ran over my lips as I remembered the way it felt. It was completely different from Declan’s kiss—familiar, soft, and sweet. I shook my head, pushing the thoughts to the far depths of my mind. I couldn’t focus on any of that right now.

“Penny for your thoughts.” Declan’s raspy voice tore me from my inner musings.

He stretched and pushed the covers back, revealing a bare torso and tight boxer briefs. A finely muscled chest and perfectly sculpted abs ran down the length of his body.

Okay, maybe he was too beautiful to be human.

Heat rushed up my cheeks, and I averted my eyes.

He chuckled and slid to the edge of the bed. “Have you been watching me sleep? Because if you were, I’d say that was kind of creepy.”

I willed my cheeks to turn back to a normal shade and looked up to meet his sparkling eyes. “Just doing some recon on the enemy.”

“And what did you determine?”

I shrugged nonchalantly. “You’re pretty boring when you’re asleep.”

He shot me a mischievous grin. “Trust me, I’m anything but boring in bed.”

I rolled my eyes, the fire returning to my cheeks. Damn him. I picked up his t-shirt from the floor and threw it at him. “Get dressed. I want to talk about the plan. While you were getting your beauty sleep, I was looking over the blueprints to find our best way in.
