I decided I really didn’t want to think about that right now. Raphael had already assured me that they now knew they’d been put on notice and wouldn’t try anything again. Not in the near future, anyway. I had no doubt that they’d be back to their regular tricks after they thought they had everyone fooled. “What about us?” In the room’s dim lighting, Raphael’s eyes looked nearly black, although I knew they were really a warm chocolate brown. When he spoke, he sounded almost amused. “Are you asking if I think the Reptilians are going to interfere in our relationship?” “No, of course not,” I replied, a little annoyed. But only a very little. It was hard to get too irritated with someone who held you like that, whose every touch seemed to be another reinforcement of how much he cared about
