hat do I know? "
Kassern wanted to clap. Her words quipped with feigned casualness but fear surrounded her like a cape. Kassern removed it with a wave of his hand , leaving only her caution, a far more useful emotion . Now that he had their agreement, he could use his powers. All that remained was to watch them grow fonder of each other. And once they consummated, the next portal would open. And the biggest part of his job would be accomplished.
Chapter Nine
Devyn lay in the bed beside Karly, listening to her friend ' s steady breathing. What a day. They ' d had nice guys, asshole maniac boyfriends, and a visit by an Archangel . And even though that last one had her in a state of euphoric impossibility, that wasn ' t what was responsible for the hum in her body. Troy ' s kiss. My God, he was…so damn hot. For the first time in her adult life, she'd felt real sexual excitement – the kind that made every nerve sing with anticipation .
As she drifted to sleep, her thoughts filled with the sensations Troy had created in her body, and wondering what might have happened if they hadn't been interrupted. What had he said? Something about her deserving romance and flowers and time? Did that mean he wanted to be the one to give her those things? Or was it just a unique way of letting her down gently?
Sometime later, Devyn woke, needing to pee. She fought her way free of the unfamiliar sheets and stumbled to her feet. Where was Karly? Probably starving and went to find food. Devyn ' s heart jolted when she remembered that stupid rig Karly ' d found. What if she ' d woke n up dying for a fix, and left to find a connection? Fuck.
Devyn hurried to the bathroom before she peed on herself. T he light was on. Relief slammed into her as s he entered the steamy bathroom. Wow, nice. Real hot water . Karly needed that. It was good she sought to wash some of the poison out of her system when she woke up. Before Devyn could say a word or pull her shorts down, a muffled, strangled noise froze her. It d idn ' t sound like one person.
Confused, scared, sick to her stomach, nothing could stop her from pulling that curtain open.
She stumbled back in shock. There was Karly, naked, plastered to Troy, likewise naked, her mouth over his.
Karly dropped her legs from around Troy's waist and he firmly shoved her away.
Despite the blind fury surging through her, Devyn noted some details. Karly's pinpoint pupils and slack mouth. Before she could see if Troy was affected, he ' d yanked the shower curtain and covered his groin.
Devyn couldn ' t speak. She was so fucking torn between fury and pain and confusion over the pain.
The blank look on Karly's face broke with a sneering grin. "I wanted to fuck." She shrugged loosely, mouth going slack again. "He was here."
Fury won over her confusion. "You leave him the hell alone!" She grabbed Karly's arm, wanting to break it off and knock her in the head with it. "He's off limits! You got that?" Flinging the offending arm away from her, Devyn stepped back, trying to steady her breathing. Damn. She had no right to go all jealous girlfriend on Karly. She had no claim on Troy. He could fuck anyone he wanted. But she certainly didn't want him to want anyone else.
And, Troy didn ' t deserve to be attacked in his own home by a drugged up whore.
"Devyn, please… " Troy yanked a towel from the nearby towel bar and wrapped it around his hips. " …I know it looks bad, but I didn't want this. She came in while I was in the shower." He turned and shut the water off.
All Devyn saw was how the droplets looked on his smooth skin. What a body. She forced her eyes to his but was no better off when met with the honest intensity of hazel eyes. "Troy, you don't owe me any explanations." She forced herself to look away. "Karly, get dried off and into the bed. You need to sleep that shit off. Who the hell did you get it from?"
Karly's face crumpled into tears. "I'm sorry, Devyn! I didn't mean to. It's just
