wish to kiss you again,” he said softly. He waited until he saw a slight smile on her lips before leaning down to cover those sexy lips with his own.
    She tasted like berries. Her plump bottom lip pushed up against his, causing his mind to flood with a million different desires. His fingers bunched the hem of her top up as his tongue darted in to explore her sweet mouth.
    He heard a light moan escape her lips when he shifted her. When her fingers dug into his shoulders, he wished more than anything that he could put all caution away and take her here and now.
    “You’ve been driving me crazy,” he whispered next to her ear. He nibbled on the lobe and tasted the skin on her neck. “Je te veux,” he whispered over her skin.
    “Don’t.” Her voice was weak, but her hands pushed him away. “I… I don’t think. I’m not…” She took a deep breath. “I’m not looking for relationships.” Her chin went up slightly.
    “Pourquoi?” His hands reached out to steady her, but she pushed them away.
    “I just… I’m not.” She took a step back. “Sorry.” She turned and walked over to where her shoes were and then disappeared down the pathway.
    It took him a moment to gather his thoughts, but then he took a few cleansing breaths and followed her back to the dorms, making sure she arrived safely to her own room before storming into his own, just down the hallway.
    He had shut the door and tossed his shirt on the bed, when he heard the scream.
    He was down the hallway and gathering Lilith up in his arms before the scream had finished leaving her lips.
    “What?” he asked, but looking over her head, he noticed what the problem was.
    Her room looked like a tornado had gone through it. Each of her drawers were pulled out and thrown on the floor. Clothes were tossed everywhere and her desk was turned upside down. He could see what appeared to be her laptop, smashed into pieces.
    “I…” She cried against his shoulder.
    “What’s going on?” Heather asked behind him.
    “Call the police. Someone’s broken into Lilly’s room,” he told her.
    “Wow! Sure,” she said. More and more people came out into the hallway to see what was going on. Without questioning it, he lifted Lilly into his arms and carried her past the growing crowd towards his room.
    “You okay?” he asked, after setting her down on the bed.
    “I…” She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. “I didn’t turn on the light right away. I should have… there could have been someone in there.” She sat up a little and he watched her eyes go huge. “There still could be.”
    “No, it was empty.” He sat next to her and took her hand in his and watched her eyes slide shut again.
    “Who would want to go through my stuff?” she asked under her breath. “It’s not like I have anything. Just my laptop, which they probably took.” She groaned.
    “It’s still there, but I’m afraid it was broken,” he said, causing her to groan again.
    “Who would do this?”
    “I’m not sure, but we caught one thief, maybe we can put our heads together and do it again.”
    The look in her eyes changed from fear to interest. She sat up a little and nodded. “We’ll need to find out who’s here.” She glanced towards his open door. “Don’t criminals usually return to the scene?”
    He nodded quickly, then without a word, walked out of the room to assess everyone who stood in the hallway.
    There were employees he knew lived on the floor below them shuffling into the small hallway. Everyone was trying to get a glance at Lilly’s room and talking in low tones.
    “Did you call the police?” he asked Heather.
    “How is she?” She nodded towards his room.
    His eyes moved towards his door. “Shaken.”
    “I can stay with her if you want.”
    “No, I’ve got her. I just wanted to make sure you called.”
    “Yes, it might be a while. They have to cross on the ferry.”
    He nodded. “We’ll be in there when they arrive.”
    “I’ll
