mean I’m any less capable of kicking your ass.”
    Jaylon rolled over, brushed his hair back from his face and chuckled. “I didn’t mean any offense.”
    She retrieved her bags from the floor. Hastily slipping on the shoulder strap of her weapon case as she stood, she wouldn’t make eye contact with him. “Just tell me which room is mine. I’ll find my own way.”
    Jaylon sighed, accepting defeat this time. “Turn left, third door on the right.”
    “Thank you,” she said curtly as she walked over his legs and disappeared around the corner, leaving him feeling slightly empty.
    He was gonna need to get a handle on his speaking skills. His ability to offend even shocked him a little.

Chapter Five
    A groupie? What the fuck? She knew she’d been acting like a lusty perv, no better than the women outside the gates but really…a groupie? Did she really radiate that kind of vibe? When Jaylon had backed her up against the wall, something inside of her had melted, pooling quite profoundly in her panties. He was incredibly sexy, more so in person than in the pictures she’d seen. He gave off this powerful punch of something both deadly and delicious. But what came out of his mouth was just garbage.
    Ugh. Men.
    She’d been waiting her whole life to be claimed by a Hunter, and now that day would never come. She didn’t exactly have a ton of experience in the romance department but she was pretty sure men didn’t act like total jackasses when they found a woman attractive…did they? He had called her pretty, though, and judging by the huge bulge in his pants, he was interested. But if he thought of her as a groupie, what did that mean?
    A fuck and that’s it.
    She was already flirting with the professional boundaries in her mind. She needed to get her shit under control.
    Aubrey made it to her room and burst through the door. She dumped her stuff on the floor with an exasperated sigh. She might be trying to rebuild a life now that she wasn’t going to become a member of the Order, but that didn’t mean she had to put up with treatment from men like Jaylon. Just because her body ached for him didn’t mean anything. Right? There were plenty of other men she could feel that way for. Ones not associated with the band. Ones who weren’t quite as devastatingly gorgeous. And arrogant. And…
    She slumped on the bed. Problem was, she hadn’t felt that way toward another man…ever…in her life. Until now.
    Her instincts were off. Her body betrayed her logic. She glanced toward the ensuite. Take a shower, wake up, get to work.
    “Okay.” She smacked her knees then rose from the bed. “Snap out of it.” She beelined for the bathroom, hoping a cold shower would get her thoughts back on the job and nothing more.
    Aubrey ran her hands down her slick body, her thoughts drifting as the near scalding water cascaded over her, her muscles easing with each sluice.
    This is heaven.
    Nobody really took a cold shower did they? What a waste that would be. She sighed as she ducked her head under the stream, soaking her hair, the heat making her scalp tingle. She’d always found a hot shower to be the epitome of relaxation, had never really been much of a bath soaker, but given the limited availability of heated water at her family’s home, she’d always been restricted to something quick and lukewarm. To be able to douse herself like this was a much appreciated luxury and she planned on taking full advantage.
    It’d been a long journey, not so much in the physical sense since the mansion wasn’t too far geographically from home, but psychologically, emotionally…yeah, uphill battle at times. It took a lot of mental exertion to suppress those feelings of being discarded. To suppress the jealousy that threatened to explode if her thoughts even grazed the knowledge that her sister was at that moment training with her Hunter. That her sister was discovering her newfound powers, whatever they were—Aubrey hadn’t bothered to
