Gemini sighed and rolled to his side on his bed, his arm bent up and his head supported on his hand as

he listed to his brother . . . twin . . . father . . . whatever he was, Jarod, talk on his cell phone. He

could hear the echo of his own voice chuckle and turn a little taunting. Gemini sighed again. For a

genius, Jarod was sure stupid sometimes. He can't believe that the man had access to such a beautiful

woman and what did he do with it? He teased her, irritated her, pissed her off and poked at her instead

of doing whatever it took to make the woman leave the Centre and go away with him.

Gemini flopped onto his back and stared, unseeingly at the ceiling, his mind wandering back in time to

that moment when he had first seen Miss Parker. He had never seen a woman before. But, he knew

instantly this was the opposite sex. This is what those biological texts had all been about. She was

magnificent, tall, sleek, dark and so very dangerous. Danger flowed off of her like an invisible wave,

like the faint scent of something sweet that lingered in the room. He can remember color, blue eyes and

red lips. He was sure, in retrospect, that he stood there gaping like an idiot but the mere sight of her

seemed to shut down all of his cognitive functions and instead his body reacted instinctively. His mouth

dried, his palms itched, his heartbeat increased and all the blood pooled in his groin. It was fantastic!

Mr. Raines had pushed her aside along with the trembling man by her side and taken charge of him,

even as he had glanced back at her, unable to stop wanting to look. She seemed stunned and then

started forward, after him.

p

Coming face to face with Jarod had been one more shock, the last one he could take. He stood there,

stunned and when she pushed him aside to chase after the man he had been told killed his parents, all

he could feel was jealousy that she was chasing him, she was interested in him, HIM and not himself.

p

They had hustled him away, away from Donoterase and he had thought away from her. He had

withdrawn into that secret place in his head, the place where they could not touch him, a place he spent

a lot of time. It was after this encounter with her, however brief, that he learned the real meaning of

loneliness. An understanding of what it meant to ache for someone else.
