Chapter 20

Xandar opened his eyes and tried not to make a sound as he looked up at Lucianne, who was holding her book in one hand. She was already halfway through it. He peeked at the cover, and realized that it was a book on the neuroscience behind wolf-behavior.

Her hand left his hair when she wanted to flip the page. His animal whimpered but, externally, Xandar remained silent. After flipping the page, she continued stroking his thick, brown locks, and he was brought back to bliss. He kept his eyelids low to enjoy the moment.

His eyes shot wide open, and he looked up at her, “You knew I was awake this whole time?”

Still reading, she said, “Of course. Breathing patterns are different when one’s asleep or awake.”

He chuckled and hugged her thighs even tighter as he thought about how she had already caught him even before he knew he was caught. He wondered if he had read some neuroscience book behind Lycan behavior before this.

“So, do you really have no need to pee?” She asked, still in disbelief.

Xandar groaned and snuggled into her thighs as he complained, “Can’t you just let me hold you a little longer? The toilet break can wait.”

She looked up from her book and said sternly, “If you pee in my bed, Xandar, I’m requesting for a room change.”
