talk to him tomorrow.
She smiled, then shook her head quickly. No. I mean, we can t be stupid. He s already
promised me to someone else. I ll make him look like a fool.
Blane blinked at that. She was right. What the fuck was wrong with him? I ve gotta call
Jonas.
Why?
Something s wrong. He grabbed his phone from the dresser, then went into the
bathroom for privacy.
Jonas answered on the first ring. Yeah?
Dude, I so fucked up.
What happened?
She bonded us.
Oooohh. Jonas let out a sadistic laugh that sounded more like Luciano. You re fucked.
She was promised to Maximilliano.
I know!
Couldn t keep it in your pants? He laughed again.
This isn t funny.
From here it is. Mr. I m-Never-Getting-Bonded is in the mother of all fucked-up
relationships. And you thought I was an idiot?
141
He cringed. He had given Jonas a hard time when he couldn t stop hitting on Tori and an
even harder time when he d bonded with Elena. Yeah. Well, now we re bonded but
something s wrong. I can t even think.
The smart ass actually laughed again. So.
No. This isn t like what you and Michael are like. I didn t even remember she was
promised to someone else. And I can t stop staring at her like some jackass.
It took a painful few moments of laughing to get another answer from Jonas. For a
genius, you really are thick sometimes. Don t you get it?
What?
It s different for all of us. It s what we need.
You re telling me I needed to be in puppy love?
Maybe. Or maybe it s just the first time you ve been in love.
Ouch. Point taken.
You were young when you went to war. Had you ever been in love?
No. I guess not.
And I know you haven t since then.
Fuck.
He could imagine the smirk that came along with Jonas s grunt. Plus, she s older and
has Khalil s blood. So a bond with her should be stronger.
When the sun goes down, we re coming straight to you. You ve got to
Sorry. There s nothing I can do. It s all between you two now. He laughed again. And
Michael and Khalil.
Why is this so damned funny to you?
142
Because it s not me. They like you too much to kill you, and Khalil can t have a scandal.
It s too messy. But I have no fucking idea how you re going to get out of this.
Shit.
Yeah.
Elena s voice came into the background, but he couldn t make out what she was saying.
Jonas simply added, Uh...I ve gotta go, Blane. Duty calls.
The phone went almost as dead as he felt. It was the equivalent of knocking up some
teenager whose dad happened to be the fucking president.
Christiana knocked on the door. Blane, come on. The sun s coming up. We ll talk before
we fall asleep.
Yeah. And as soon as he laid eyes on her, he wouldn t give a damn about any of them. He
wouldn t want to talk about it, either. He d only want to make love to her until the sun came up.
He had to get control of himself. Blane took a deep breath, then opened the door.
* * * *
Blane looked like a scared kid, even with the shaggy hair and all the muscles. But it only
made him even more irresistible. Christiana had heard the conversation. Not only were there
problems with her creatore, but he was a die-hard bachelor. The idea of commitment, especially
accidental, was sure to scare him.
So she smiled and took his hand. Just lie down with me. I don t think it will be that
bad.
Immediately, he let out the breath and began to relax. Michael is going to kill me. He
gave me this assignment because he thought I wouldn t do this with you.
She led him toward the little queen-sized bed in the corner. Just tell them I seduced

you.
He laughed and tackled her, suddenly throwing both of them onto the bed. It bounced and
rattled the wall a little, but she giggled and let him hold her down. The bond really must have
had a strong effect on him. His emotions were bounding between panic, fear, possession, and
heart-melting love. It was that last one that made her want to kiss him each time he felt it.
