When Jaxson turned to Sam, I grabbed them and headed for the door. “I’m

going to grab the wolfsbane and my phone from Casey. I’ll call you when

I’ve got it.”

I slipped though quickly and shut the door. Then I scurried down the hall

and hit the button on the elevat

or, hoping the car was there already.

It was not.

Jaxson was looming over me in a second. “What the hell do you think

you’re doing?”

“You heard the woman—we need wolfsbane. I’m going to get it.” The

elevator was taking way too long, so I hit the button again a couple times.

“How? You have no phone or wallet.” Jaxson stopped me from hitting the

button again. “I’ll give you a ride.”

The way he said it sent chills up my spine. He was so close. His musky

earth and pine scent addled my thoughts, and I couldn’t keep my eyes from

tracing the contours of his muscles beneath his taut button-down. The heat of

my body was flowing.

Damn, I wanted him.

I tore my eyes away and prayed for the elevator to hurry the hell up. “I

need to be alone.”

Jaxson crossed his massive arms. “That’s not a good idea.”

Those arms.

I remembered him carrying me the night before. I’d never felt so safe. I

wanted them around me again.

Shaking my head, I took a step back. “Alone is the antidote I need. Plus,

Casey would be suspicious if you showed up with me asking for wolfsbane. I

promise not to crash your ride.”

The elevator doors opened.

Jaxson was quiet, his expression torn.

“I need this, Jax.”
