pants, certain his zipper was going to break.
    The fantasy playing out in his head brought his gaze down to her beautiful face. He breathed deeply of her spicy cinnamon scent. He knew his eyes had to be glowing, displaying his arousal more evidently than his erection. He was unable to look away, and watched her glare turn wary. She had no idea what his eyes were telling her, but she wasn’t frightened. He saw the curiosity and desire she tried to hide.
    “Promise me that nothing will happen to her. Even if she becomes a mindless killing machine, no one hurts her. And you find a cure for what happened to her,” Cailyn demanded. He was awed by her strength and determination, and in that moment he would promise her anything.
    “I will do everything in my power to help your friend, but we need to contain her until we know more. I have worked closely with the scientists for centuries, but this is a first. We need time.”
    “I, for one, promise that nothing will happen without your involvement, Cai,” Elsie vowed, grabbing Cailyn’s attention.
    “ A ghra , doona make promises you canna keep,” Zander chided.
    “Oh, but I can keep this promise, I am your Queen, after all. And, you, my King, will make sure that happens,” Elsie told him sweetly. Jace watched the interaction and felt a tightening in his chest. He envied them their connection. He had never wanted someone to belong to him, but sometime in the past few months, he had begun to hope for more. From the moment he had met Cailyn he’d felt something more than an appreciation of a beautiful, intelligent female. He had to continue to remind himself that he’d never have a female of his own.
    “Thank you, El. I feel better knowing that,” Cailyn whispered, her eyes drooping a bit. This entire night had to have taken its toll on her, and her body was still injured.
    Without thinking, he leaned down and brushed his nose against Cailyn’s slightly pointed one. His gaze went straight to her mouth. She had a mole on the right side of her delectable mouth. A mouth he desperately wanted to taste. Her startled gasp stopped him before he acted on that particular desire and had his gaze searching her hazel depths. He suddenly realized that her eyes matched the serpent’s eyes on his staff. Once again, he wondered about this female that had been brought into his life.
    The tension in the room reminded him that they weren’t alone. He ignored the concerned stares he felt burning into his back from Elsie and the others and shouldered the door open to what had now become Cailyn’s room. “Let’s get you healed and taken care of, shall we?” Jace asked as he tried to lay her on the bed. His arms refused to cooperate, pulling her closer to his chest.
    With half the compound’s residents following him, now was not the time to give into desire. He forced his fingers to uncurl and laid her gently on the bed. She winced in pain and a light sheen of sweat coated her body. Her complexion had gone even paler, and he knew she was in tremendous pain, yet she didn’t make a sound. He admired her strength. Even the warriors bitched at him when he had to patch up their wounds. This tiny female continued to amaze him.
    “I’m sorry. I will take the pain away and you’ll be as good as new,” he soothed, tucking her loose hair behind her ears, needing the contact. Touching her soft skin brought a sense of relief and calmed him, while at the same time it wound him tight with arousal. A dark, insidious need had taken root. For the first time in his life, he needed to taste a female, to explore her lush body, and get lost in her heated depths. It scared the hell out of him.
    Jace hated how his hands shook nervously when he ran them down her arms, not ready to heal her and lose his excuse to touch her. He held her hands for several silent moments before he moved them to her broken leg. She was so soft and supple beneath his palms. It took great effort to shove his lust aside before
