she was covered in her own
    blood and looked ready to fall over from
    sheer exhaustion. “Come on. I’ll show you
    where the shower is.”
    Gratefulness filled her expression as
    she followed him. It only reaffirmed he’d
    made the right decision not to question her
    further.
    Once she was showered and rested,
    however, he wouldn’t show restraint.

    Melina stood under the powerful shower
    jets of one of the guest bathrooms in
    Kiernan’s condo. From what she gathered,
    he lived on the entire top floor. It was
    only seven stories up, but she didn’t plan
    to go out to the balcony anytime soon. She
    and heights did not mix.
    She’d tossed her dress onto the shiny
    white tile of the bathroom floor. She
    almost felt bad because the place was so
    pristine. Like a freaking hotel. No warmth
    or personal touches anywhere. Just
    abstract paintings pictures dotted various
    walls. And everything was so masculine.
    The warm water coursing over her was
    like heaven. Thanks to Kiernan’s blood
    she felt almost like new. A little tired, but
    not like she should have been. For a
    moment she’d been tempted to tell him
    about her natural healing abilities but had
    held back. It wasn’t common knowledge
    and her father would be incredibly angry
    if she told a vampire about it.
    The upside of her gift was that she
    could heal most animals, humans, shifters,
    and pretty much any supernatural being—
    unless they were too far gone like the
    sweet mastiff from earlier that day. In
    worst case scenarios it drained her to the
    point of incredible weakness, and it took a
    long time for her to heal. It was the reason
    she’d become a vet as opposed to entering
    another medical field. Healing animals
    didn’t drain her nearly as much as other
    beings did.
    Once she was sure all the blood was
    washed clean, she stepped from the giant
    glass and stone enclosed shower and
    slipped on the fluffy blue robe Kiernan
    had left for her. Since it was almost her
    size and definitely too small for him, she
    wondered who it belonged to but pushed
    down the unfamiliar feeling of jealousy.
    Kiernan had the ability to make her
    claws unsheathe without doing a damn
    thing. All she had to do was think about
    him with another woman and she was
    ready to claw someone’s eyes out. It went
    so against her personality it shocked her to
    her core.
    “Find everything okay?” Kiernan’s
    deep, familiar voice made her jerk around
    from drying her hair at the mirror.
    She placed a hand over her chest. “I
    didn’t even hear you.” That surprised her.
    With her heightened senses she should
    have, but she’d been too wrapped up in
    her own thoughts.
    His dark gaze traveled from her face,
    practically caressed her covered breasts,
    then dipped all the way to her painted pink
    toenails.
    Unable to stop her physical reaction,
    her nipples beaded almost painfully.
    Almost as if he knew, his lips curved up
    slightly as his eyes landed on her face
    once again. “I turned this back on and it’s
    been ringing nonstop since you got in the
    shower.” Sighing, he held out her cracked
    cell, as if it was the last thing he wanted to
    give her.
    Frowning, she took it, looking at the
    cracked face. “I didn’t think it was
    working.”
    “I didn’t either. Looks like it just got
    turned off in your struggle.”
    She’d need to replace it but she was
    thankful it worked. Now she could at least
    call her family and tell them she was all
    right. After what happened she knew she
    should probably go home to the safety of
    her pack, but she didn’t want to. They’d
    keep her under lockdown and she loathed
    the thought of living like that. At least with
    Kiernan she’d have some freedom. “Do
    you think . . . I could stay with you?”
    His eyes darkened to a midnight black
    as he nodded. He growled low in his
    throat in answer.
    Something about that look made her
    entire body flare to life. She’d been on the
    receiving end of his focus once and it had
    threatened
