“Oh, I’m a pretty good actor these days.” Petra, ran a hand up Will’s chest and his muscles tensed under her palm. “You’ll see.” She lightly nipped his neck before licking the sting. “Ready?”
Will cleared his throat and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Let’s go.”
They both stood and Petra leaned against Will’s side, rubbing her hands over his chest and down to the fly of his jeans. Running a finger underneath the waistband, she brushed the head of his hard cock with her finger. Even though she only touched him through the material of his boxers, the memory of what he could do with all of those inches flashed inside her mind.
Holy crap. Control yourself, Brandt. True, she hadn’t slept with anyone since Will. Merely kissing another guy had felt like a betrayal. But she wasn’t about to fuck up her mission and risk Millie’s safety because of her pent-up horniness. She could tease Will to get him to cooperate, unless circumstances forced her to sleep with him, which was always a possibility.
The second they hit the cool evening air, Will tugged her down the street and she whispered, “If we need to lose a tail, leave it to me.”
Will looked over at her and merely shook his head. Whether because he thought they might have someone following them or for some other reason, he remained quiet. The silence gave her an opportunity to go through several mind-calming exercises. She would need all of the control she could muster if she was to spend any length of time alone with Will Evans and leave him behind at the end of her mission.

Since all the employees of the AMT research facilities lived inside the mountains in one of two employee wings, Will couldn’t take Leyna to his quarters. Instead, he was taking Leyna to a hotel recommended by one of the other male staff members. Given its reputation as a hotspot for hook-ups, he was counting on the man following him to stay outside the hotel and not barge into their room.
Although after their kiss and Leyna’s finger brushing his cock, Will was having a hell of a time concentrating on anything but his straining dick. The woman had lied to him and broken his heart. He shouldn’t ache for her kisses or the light caress of her fingers. Yet every time she touched him, it brought back the happy years they’d spent together.
He remembered the first time he’d seen her. They’d both been new graduate students at University College London. Another classmate had invited him to a small study group. However, that classmate had had a family emergency and the study group had ended up being only Will and Leyna. As they'd started talking, the hours had flown by. Not much studying had been done, but he’d managed to coax a date out of the sweet woman with a sharp wit and ability to laugh at herself.
Glancing at Leyna’s profile at his side, he decided that woman was gone. His Leyna never would’ve lied to him. No, she would’ve talked with him and together they would’ve found a solution to stay together.
Maybe their time together had all been an act.
Will would listen to what Leyna had to say and then wash his hands of her. Otherwise, he’d never finish his important work and discover where Feiru latent abilities came from. Said abilities were a risk to the safety of the entire Feiru race because of their unpredictability. Not even the human agency tasked with keeping the Feiru’s existence a secret, the Feiru Liaison Office, would be able to cover up thousands of new abilities popping up around the globe.
There was also the issue of Will’s freedom.
His determination renewed, he turned down the final street and tugged Leyna into the hotel.
At the front desk, he pulled her against his side as he paid for a room. The whole time, Leyna’s hands roamed his chest and back, sending waves of fire and electricity through his body.
The bloody woman played her role a little too well.
Will clenched his jaw to keep from outwardly reacting. Each brush of the blasted woman’s finger turned his cock harder, but he’d be damned to let his face flush or breathing quicken.
Somehow, he managed to finish paying for a room without tugging Leyna close and kissing her again. As they made their way down the hall, every step he took only heightened his awareness of her heat at his side. He also noticed Leyna’s soft curves had been replaced with toned muscle. Glancing down at her, he wondered what her daily life looked like these days.
They reached their room and Will unlocked the door. The second he and Leyna stepped inside, he swung her around and pinned her to the door with her arms over her head. “Start talking.”
Leyna merely raised her chin. “Not until I know we’re safe.”
Will growled. “No one could know we’d be in this room at this moment. I think you’re stalling.”
Her eyes flashed. “Let me go or I will make you let me go.”
He leaned down closer to her face. “Then try. We’ve both changed and I may have a surprise or two of my own.”
“So do I.”
She moved to kick him in the crotch, but Will stepped to the side and turned Leyna to face the door. With her hands behind her back, he used his body weight to keep her pinned in place. “You’re going to have to do better than that.”
Wiggling her arse against his groin, Will bit his lip to keep from making a noise. His head might not want to react to Leyna’s touch, but his traitorous dick didn’t care and begged for more friction. She wiggled again and a small groan escaped Will’s lips.
Leyna’s voice was husky as she whispered, “At least your body still wants me.”
He gritted out, “Good thing my mind is stronger.?
