“I’ve been taking care of myself all my life,” he keeps going like an unstoppable train. His index finger already poking my pec.

“Lori, you are,” I repeat, grabbing that finger and sucking it between my lips.

“I am?” My words finally get to him. He blinks up at me, his brown pools a little glassy, making me smirk.

I leave the finger with a pop and pull him toward the bathroom, enjoying how small and soft his hand feels in my own bigger palm—and his round butt cheek in the other.

LORI

I take the last step of the metal stairs that end inside the base. Gabe pulls me toward the FUNS room; the tiny, round urn swings around my neck. I stop when I hear a “Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

I see Ollie and Sari walking inside the lab while talking animatedly. I send a glance to Rague and Uri in the FUNS room standing near a naked man tied to a chair. And then turn again toward the lab.

“Give me a sec,” I tell Gabe, as I let go of his hand and make my way to the lab’s door. I type in the code and enter.

“My huevos are on fire!” Ollie hisses.

Sari looks frantic. “Why did you…”

“What’s going on?” I ask, reaching them near Sari’s desk.

“I drank the potion.” Ollie slaps a hand on his forehead, looking weirdly restless.

“A witch potion?” I ask, confused.

“The drug! The one you ingested,” Sari explains. “I had a few samples on the desk, and he accidentally took one.”

“How the hell did you do that?” I look at my bestie in shock.

“It was in a glass, or it looked like a glass. I thought it was my water, I wasn’t thinking! I’m worried about Rague,” he says nervously. His face is turning red, and he’s fidgeting.

“Bloody hell, mate. You’re a disaster,” I huff at him.

“Fuck you, Lori!”

“Let’s calm down. He only took a sip,” Sari tries, but he looks more agitated than Ollie.

“Much less than me. That's good. How do you feel?”

“Heated, jumpy, horny as hell,” he growls.

“No pain?”

“Not yet.” As soon as he says the words, he bends in two and groans.

“Damn it, he’ll turn into a sex maniac very soon,” I state.

“I don’t know how to process that.” Sari frowns at me. “Maybe?—”

Ollie cuts Sari off. “Help me, you idiots!”

“So rude.” I glare at him.

“I have a sedative!” Sari suddenly exclaims.

Ollie lets out a scream.

“No sedative. Go call KKJ. Now!”
