Sloane had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell rang. Still towel–drying her hair, she opened the door–only to find Lucas standing tall at the entrance.

His

gaze dropped to her pajamas, and he frowned with disapproval.

“Why are you opening the door in sleepwear? What if it had been someone dangerous?”

Sloane looked down at herself: cartoon pajamas, long sleeves, full–length pants–completely modest. She shrugged, unconcerned. “If someone dangerous showed up, I’d just send him out flat on his back.”

No–she wouldn’t even give him the chance to step inside.

Lucas sighed, clearly displeased with her lack of caution. “I know you’re good at fighting, but you’re still a girl. You should be more careful. If the other person has a weapon, it won’t be easy to defend yourself.”

Sloane furrowed her brows. “Lucas, you’re being naggy.”

He pinched the bridge of his nose with a helpless expression.

Fine. He’d just have Andrew assign more people to keep an eye on her.

“You go

inside and take off your clothes. I’ll be there in a minute,” Sloane said as she turned back toward the bathroom.

Lucas stood at the door for a while, processing that line, before finally stepping into the apartment.

Meanwhile, Sloane blow–dried her hair and pinned it up with a hair stick. Then she grabbed her needling kit and returned to the room–where Lucas was already lying facedown on the bed.

Broad shoulders, slim waist, a clean, powerful line of muscle down his back–tense and defined under the soft glow of the lamp. Even though Sloane had seen it many times, it still made her falter for a second.

She picked up a needle and pressed it smoothly into his back.

Lucas twitched slightly at the sensation, but quickly steadied himself.

Sloane focused intently on his treatment, but just as she got into rhythm, a sudden sound

broke the silence–a door shutting in the living room.

She froze mid–motion, nearly missing the target. She and Lucas locked eyes, both on alert.

“Who?” Lucas mouthed silently.

Sloane frowned, suddenly seeming to realize something. But before she could speak, a voice called out from outside.

“Sloane? Are you home?” It was Jill.

Footsteps drew closer, clearly headed toward the bedroom.

Lucas, still completely naked on her bed, made the whole scene… incredibly awkward.

Outside the door, Jill’s voice again, curious and suspicious, “Where did she go?”

She reached out for the doorknob, but before she could turn it, the door opened from within.

Sloane slipped out and quickly closed it behind her. “Jill? What are you doing here so suddenly?”

Jill gave her a puzzled look. “So you’re home. I was calling and calling—you didn’t answer. I thought you weren’t in.”

She tugged Sloane toward the living room. “I didn’t hear you,” Sloane replied casually.

“How come you’re here so late?” she asked, heading into the kitchen to pour Jill a glass of

water.

Jill took the cup, downed a big gulp, then slammed it on the table. Her eyes were red and she looked furious.
