Deep Desires (8 page)
Authors: Cathryn Fox
Truthfully, his deepest desire was to be left alone, and Malik continued to make damn sure that never happened. From sneaking up on him to constantly hounding him to go on the snorkeling and scuba-diving excursions, Malik ensured he never had a moment’s peace. Just because he could spot what others couldn’t didn’t mean he wanted to go under the sea and look at fucking tropical fish. He hated fish, tropical or otherwise. And he hated snorkeling and scuba diving, goddammit.
Determined to regain his solitude, Cody shifted, offering Malik his back, his body language telltale.
“Would you like to walk with me?” Malik asked, despite Cody’s silent message to the contrary.
With his voice deceptively patient, he said, “No, I just want to be left alone.” “Are you sure that’s what you really want, Cody?”
“Yes. It’s my deepest desire,” he replied flatly, twisting back around to face Malik. “Since that isn’t happening, I guess the elixir isn’t working for me.”
“Very well, then.”
A creature of habit, Cody turned his attention back to his scope and scanned the horizon. “What are you looking for?” Malik asked.
“Nothing,” Cody murmured.
Malik made a strange noise and said, “Remember, Cody. You can’t find what you’re not looking for.”
Cody scoffed. Okay, what the fuck was that supposed to mean?
