    Summary

    Εὐπειθής - Eupeithys - Ready to Obey.

    Canis listened to his guardians. They always wanted the best for him. And he was grateful, so grateful that he really tried to fight off the intruder that snatched him away, really tried to ignore the way the strangers claimed he was someone else, someone called Lance McClain instead.

    Because it wasn't true. It couldn't be.

    Summary

    Does his team see that, looking at him now? Do they see the blood that had covered him like ink? That drippled out over his lips because of his greed of needing more? Do they see him as a monster?

    Delicious melody, heavenly song, tantalizing and warm. Can't stop. Doesn't want to stop.

    Is he a monster?

    Keith drags his tongue across his teeth, searching for a hint of that metallic taste.

    He feels like one.

    ___

    Keith wakes up on a strange planet he doesn't remember and is faced with a tight-lipped team that can't look him in the eye. His scattered memories show him nothing but blood and gore, and he's left with the understanding that things will never be the same again.

    Summary

    She freezes, her situation barreling suddenly into full focus.

    She’s lying on her side, lengthwise on the inner half of the sofa. Lockwood is flat on his back beside her, his body effectively trapping her against the sofa back. Her cheek is pillowed against his clavicle, and her right arm is resting on his chest, her palm pressed flat against his button-up. She can feel the individual fibers of the cotton. She can feel his heartbeat.

    His breath is warm and steady against her hairline; if the regularity of his breathing is anything to go by, he’s fast asleep. And she can thank her lucky stars for that.

    Because of greatest urgency at the moment: her right leg is slung across his waist, pressing right up against his groin. And he’s hard. Like, really hard.

    Summary

    “You look nice too,” he continues.  “I like the hat.”

    “I hate the hat,” she replies flatly, rolling her eyes.

    He resists the urge to reach out and adjust its angle on her head.  He would have done, before, in the years when they were constantly toeing the line between friendly banter and outright flirting.  But those years are long gone, so he just says, a little teasingly, “Still can’t take a compliment, can you?”

    “Ha.  Can’t teach an old dog new tricks and all that.  I’m bad at fancy events.”

    “I know.”

    “Fish out of water.”

    “A lot of animal metaphors going on here.”

    She laughs.  He thinks again that he’s missed making her laugh.  He’s missed her.
