Convinced he’d imagined it, he stilled, pulse leaping in his throat as he tilted his head and drew in a deep breath. * Nope. Definitely not hallucinating. * Something shifted in the hallway and he abruptly pulled open the shower curtain, exposing himself as steam escaped the stall in a rush. * Cindy sprang back a few feet, shock flooding her face before it flamed into embarrassment, her bloodless cheeks blushing a faint pink. She hovered by the door he’d unintentionally left ajar, her eyes raking over him as she worried her bottom lip with the tips of her white incisors. * His skin prickled, goosebumps rising over every inch of him from more than the cold air. Her scent intensified, her eyes growing impossibly darker, before she tore them away. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—” * “What are you doing here?” * “I . . .” Her voice failed her and she cleared her throat, looking at the floor. “I’m just . . .” * “Cindy.” The single word was rough, husky, ensnaring her gaze. “Come here.” * -VERMILION LIES by L.D.
