digging in Thomas’s desk. Then she glanced down, actually noticing Jack for the first time. “Why are you naked?” she blurted out.
    He slowly reached back and shut the door, the click of the lock so loud it vibrated inside her. Jack stalked toward her. “I was running and smelled you. Do you know how fucking good you smell? It’s maddening having you around here. No matter where I go on this property, it’s like your scent is a siren, calling to me.”
    Uh-oh. She stood on shaky legs, staying behind the desk. She didn’t know why he had the look of a predator, but she figured it was best to keep the big piece of furniture as a barrier, especially since his penis was erect and so hard it was already leaking pre-cum. “You don’t look well, Jack.”
    “No?” He laughed without any trace of humor, his blue eyes ice, and he continued walked toward her until he was up against the other side of the desk. “I think that’s your fault, doc.”
    “I’m not a doctor.”
    “Shut the fuck up!” He slammed his hands down on top of the desk so hard it creaked under the pressure. “This is all your fault, you little chemistry whore. I’ve been taking those damn shots like the obedient little lab rat, and you haven’t once thought to come out and check on me. At least lab rats get tended to by their fucking doctors.”
    Ariel shut her eyes, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, thinking it better not to correct him again.
    “I talked to my dad about this, and he insisted I give Rob alone time with you. Like Rob fucking deserves you more than I do. I told him that the medicine made me feel sick. That I didn’t think I needed it to be as strong as it was.”
    What? Had she totally misunderstood Jack’s reaction to the compound? “I thought I just needed to test one of you—”
    He cut her off, continuing as if she hadn’t said anything. “I came out here to talk to him after breakfast while he was getting his list of supplies ready and I saw that fucking letter you’re holding.”
    Ariel glanced down. She hadn’t even had a chance to read it yet.
    “When I saw it, dad shoved it in his desk, so I kept my mouth shut. After he left, I came back in here and read it.” He leaned in closer to her. “You fucking little bitch. I know what you’ve been up to.”
    Her heart was racing. Jack was all kinds of pissed at her, and she feared if she tried to explain it’d only make things worse. She needed to bide her time and make a run for it as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
    “Wow. You’re not even going to deny the fact that you had no intention of keeping our secret.”
    How had he known that she’d considered using them to further her career? She hadn’t told anybody about that. And if she were being honest with herself, she had no intention of bringing any harm to Rob’s family because that’d mean harm for him. She couldn’t live with herself if she’d done that. Truth was, she’d made up her mind a long time ago to never let this secret out, assuming she ever really would have to begin with.
    “I sent off samples of saliva for DNA analysis. As a scientist, I need as much information as possible to—”
    “Save it!” he roared. “I want the fucking truth.” He leapt over the desk and tackled her, caging her beneath him. She started kicking him, but he was too strong. “Admit it!”
    “Yes!” she cried out. “I’d thought about using you, but I swear I wouldn’t have gone—”
    He crushed his mouth to hers, stifling her plea, and she was relieved she’d shut her mouth just in time. He growled when she didn’t open up for him. He roared as he moved back. Then he shoved his legs between hers, forcing them open as he spread his own.
    Oh God, this couldn’t be happening. She looked up at him and screamed for help, hoping someone could hear her. His fangs had descended.
    “I’m going to claim you as mine. I’m going to fuck you and bite you, and Rob won’t be able to do a damn
