Nico and I make our way to the portal. Fern promised to meet us there with the portal key.
After that potion she gave him, Nico looks fine—you’d barely know he was injured. He walks with an agile gait, like he can spring into action at any moment.
She’d also warned that it would send his testosterone into overdrive, and it definitely has. He can’t keep his eyes off my chest. He also keeps shifting back and forth. In wolf form he darts away and then bounds back after a few minutes. Once he shifts human again, he falls into step beside me, breathing hard with exertion.
I can’t help but wonder if he’s running off an erection.
We go the long way around the quad, to avoid any crowds of students.
Like my previous mission, this quickly fails as well.
We manage to smack right into Jordan
