said,
turning and smoothing his hand down the front of his uniform shirt.
He shook his head at himself for his primping. They were soulmates.
Even though she was human, she’d feel a connection to him,
something immediate and deep.
    At least he fucking hoped
so.
     

Chapter 4

    Celeste wasn’t a happy
camper. Evan and Jasper had rushed her through the rest of the
tour, barely slowing down at the paddocks. They weren’t talking to
her, either, but she wasn’t sure what she’d say if they did. She
couldn’t stop thinking about the lion. He’d looked at her so
intensely, as if he could tear through the fence – as if he wanted to – so he could
get to her. Even though she hadn’t admitted it out loud, she
wouldn’t have minded getting a chance to meet the lion up close and
personal. Which was insane. Possibly the most insane thing any
woman had ever thought.
    Letting out a frustrated sigh, she
said, “Do you know where my friend Adriana is? She was in the tour
Jeep behind ours. I don’t want her to wait for me at the station.
And on that note, why couldn’t we wait there? Why do I have to go
to the security office?”
    Jasper said, “I’ll find out about your
friend. As far as the security office goes, it’s best to just leave
the details up to the head of security.”
    “ And who is
that?”
    “ His name is Jupiter Ross,”
Evan said.
    “ You have a security guy
named Jupiter, like the lion?”
    “ Something like that,”
Jasper said.
    A muscular man wearing a beige
jumpsuit strode around the side of a large round building. He
paused, stared at them for a moment, and then smiled. “He’s inside.
I’m patrolling.”
    “ Thanks,” Evan said. “Do
you need someone to relieve you?”
    “ I said I’d work up here
until the park closes.” He smiled at Celeste and said, “I’m Justus.
You can go right in, Jupiter’s waiting for you.”
    “ The lion or the guy?” she
asked with a smirk.
    “ Yep,” Justus
said.
    Celeste rolled her eyes, then glanced
at her tour guides and said, “I’d say thank you, but honestly this
wasn’t a good tour.”
    Jasper’s brows rose, and he chuckled.
“It’s not over yet.”
    Shaking her head, she opened the door
to the security office and shivered as a blast of chilled air hit
her skin. She stepped into the office, releasing the door and
letting it shut behind her. The security office was a large, open
room with a long counter. Just beyond the counter were four doors,
all of them closed except one.
    “ Hello?” she called as she
walked to the counter.
    In a heartbeat, a man appeared in the
open door of the room, practically filling the entire doorway. He
had blond hair the same tawny color as the lion, and his eyes
locked on hers with the same intensity that the lion’s
had.
    Okay. Stop thinking about
the lion.
    Shaking her head at her insane train
of thought, she said, “I’m supposed to talk to Jupiter. Is that
you?”
    Something vibrated loudly, and she
frowned as she stared at the man. Was that sound coming from
him?
    “ Are
you…purring?”
    The sound stopped and the man’s cheeks
darkened in a blush. “I,” he started, cleared his throat, and then
said, “I’m Jupiter Ross.”
    His voice was so deep it sent a chill
down her spine. He was the sexiest man she’d ever seen. She simply
couldn’t take her eyes off him, the center of her body heating as
she let her gaze roam over his body, from his broad shoulders to
the taper of his waist.
    He was suddenly in front of her,
moving so fast she hadn’t even seen him until he was over the
counter and in front of her. He was taller than her by a half a
foot at least, thick with muscles that strained against his
uniform. She gasped as he cupped her face with large, warm hands
and that strange vibrating sound came from him again. She
instinctively rose onto her tiptoes and he pressed his lips to
hers, sliding his tongue between her parted lips and crushing her
to his chest. Her hands landed on his pecs,
