Wow. Grab a guy’s dick once and he gets all kinds of ridiculous ideas. Arrogant jerk.

“Aww, even self-centered meatheads deserve to get off occasionally, big guy." She didn't know why she was pushing him, it wasn’t like his sex life was of interest to her. Because it wasn’t. She was just messing with him. Grace didn’t care who he fucked. Nope.

Then why are you holding your breath again?

His gaze darkened and his tongue darted out to lick his lower lip, leaving behind a sheen that made it look even fuller than before. He leaned closer. “I wouldn’t worry yourself about it. I assure you, I get off when I need to.”

An image came unbidden, Chaos naked and wet in the shower, his fist wrapped around his cock, pumping the hard flesh with sure, firm strokes. She swallowed. "Well...good for you."

Good for you?

What the hell was wrong with her? Her face heated, and she crouched back down, pretending to look through the dead guy’s stuff again. Gunner’s amused grunt didn’t help her fight her embarrassment, either.

She got to her feet. "Can't find anything else."

"No," Chaos said. "And I can't see how that would have magically changed since you checked two minutes ago."

Bastard. "I'll head off, then." She hated that Chaos thought he’d saved her, that in his mind, she’d just proven all the unflattering shit he thought about her and her ability to fight.

"You sure you're all right, Grace? You want me to drop you home?" Gunner’s wings snapped into place, the bronze feathers were stunning, gold flecks threaded through each one, picking up the light.

"What, you mean...fly?"

"Yeah."

"No," Chaos said.

She spun to face him. "Why not?"

He opened his mouth, then closed it. "We have shit to do. That's why."

As much as she would love to feel what flying was like, and pissing off Chaos would be an added bonus, something about going with Gunner didn't feel right. "I'm fine, thanks anyway."

Being this close to Chaos muddled her gray matter.

Made her crave things she knew she didn’t actually want.

Needing to escape Chaos’s burning gaze, she strode to the edge of the building, right where she’d been dangling a short time ago.

She turned to face him, and Chaos’s eyes narrowed.

Grace gave him a one-fingered salute and dropped off the side, catching the lip with the tips of her fingers. Chaos yelled, followed by the sound of his boots pounding toward her. Before he could reach her, she kicked off the wall, propelling herself into the air and twisting on her way across the short distance to the fire escape on the other side of the alley. Grabbing on, she swung through the bars and started climbing.

She turned back when she reached the rooftop, unable to hide the fuck-you smile on her face. Chaos stood across from her, the space she’d just jumped now between them. His expression could have been carved in stone. Grace laughed, spun, and ran for the shadows.

Underestimate me again, I fucking dare you.

She refused to think about him again tonight. She had more important things to worry about.

CHAPTER 6

Chaos turned away as Laz gently pulled Eve into his arms and said something against her ear before kissing her.

“Promise me you’ll be careful?" she said.

“Always am.”

Zenon and Kryos had walked into the control room without a second to spare, no doubt because they'd been dragging out the goodbyes to their own females. Chaos didn't want to intrude, but they needed to get going. When he looked back at them, Laz had Eve’s dark, curly hair fisted in his big hand, looking into her eyes. "Love you.”
