sure to keep a watch on the surrounding forest. Burgos lifted a hand and pointed them back toward the cabin. They took a moment to strip their comrades of their guns before moving off to the side of the road to blend in with the trees.
Kalin had a cute ass.
He liked curves and she had nice ones. Her waist was trim but her breasts were full and round, making her in possession of one fine hour-glass silhouette.
“Stop looking at my butt.” She turned a hard look at him. “I can hear you.”
“Most people can’t.”
He grinned at her. Just couldn’t seem to help himself because it was a hell of a lot of fun to know she could hear him. She narrowed her eyes but her thoughts weren’t as outraged as she wanted him to believe.
“You’re not offended,” he said, challenging her stern expression.
She pushed her lips into a pout. “Maybe not, but at least I’m realistic enough to know we have no business thinking along those sort of lines when there are people out there who want to sell you like a prized Arabian horse.”
He took a moment to scan the forest around them. “You were the naked one when we met.”
She snorted but bit her lip and held back her reply.
“Why were you up at the crack of dawn to go up to that pool?”
“Cut it out, Devon,” she snapped when he began to probe deeper. She stopped walking and faced off with him. “We need to probe your thoughts so we can get out of this mess.”
“So get my priorities straight?”
She gave him a curt nod. She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail and the dark, silken strands shook.
So did her tits.
Yum…
She groaned and pointed the direction they’d been walking. “I think it’s your turn to take the lead.”
He shrugged and flashed her a full smile. “I can’t wait to feel your thoughts on the view of my back.”
She was jittery from the combo of too much soda and medication on an empty stomach.
That had to be it, because there was no way she was going to do anything close to admitting that Devon was causing the surge of sensation running through her veins.
Even if he did have a nice butt.
She groaned, actually trying to focus on her aching legs. Her calves were burning and her glutes were on fire. It was clear how Devon looked the way he did beneath his clothing—the man obviously trained far harder than her daily visit to the gym.
Now who’s thinking about things they shouldn’t?
She was guilty on that account but couldn’t seem to shake it off completely. It was humbling in a way, because she’d always shook her head over the nurses who liked to fawn over the cops and firemen. When it came to hooking up at work, they were the best bet, but she’d always shied away from it.
Now she was stuck with the ultra-deluxe version. Devon put the local police to shame. But he did it in more ways than just the physical condition of his body.
Psychic.
She should have been more alarmed. He’d certainly expected her to be. That memory triggered a response that surprised her too. No one should have to expect people to be frightened of them because of the way they were put together. Devon might be the pinnacle of perfection when it came to his physical condition but she suspected he might be wounded just as easily as everyone else when it came to being viewed as an outcast.
He’d never admit it.
She smiled just thinking about it. No, he was that type.
But she shuddered when she was left facing just exactly what he was. She’d been avoiding looking at the harsh facts. Now that her head was clear from hours of hiking, there was no way to avoid reality. She was on the run with a man who was very much accustomed to deadly encounters.
Part of her wanted to reject the idea just because it seemed surreal. Or at least, in her world it was so much against the odds that it had to be dismissed.
There was no dismissing the brush with death she’d had that morning.
