Chapter Twelve
IWAKE UP MATED TOthe Leopard King, and something is different.
Not just the delicious soreness between my thighs or the way his scent clings to my skin. Something else. Something in my head that wasn’t there before.
How does she do it?
I stir and slowly open my eyes even though a part of my mind is still lost in my dreams—
How does she make me feel these things without even trying?
With the way I keep hearing Hexius’ imaginary voice—
Oh. No.
The moment I see Hexius across the room getting dressed, I know right away I’m completely mistaken.
It’s not a dream. None of it was a dream. But instead everything’s happening real-time...
Because I can hear his thoughts.
Can you hear me?
My heart races as I ask this in my mind, but Hexius only continues buttoning his shirt, and what if...what if hecanhear me but he’s not supposed to act like it? I mean, the world of preters is still a mystery to me. So who knows, right? Anything’s possible, and that’s why...
If you can hear me, how about just blink twice?
I stare hard at Hexius, wanting to make sure I don’t miss anything. Since preters are pretty much faster than humans in every way, I want to make sure I don’t miss seeing him—
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
Oops.
I’ve been so caught up in my thoughts, I didn’t even realize Hexius has been watching me watch him for God knows how long.
“Talk to me.”
My lips part, but no words come out...because my mind’s too busy picking up his thoughts.
I want her.
Just seeing her like this, I want her all the time.
