flat on my face.  Devin doesn’t move.  He raises one eyebrow in question. 
    “Are you doing this to me?”  My brows furrow in anger and I stare him down.  Of course he’s doing this to me.  That mother fucker.  I’m not a damn toy he can play with!
    “Doing what?”  He asks as though he has no idea.  I fucking know that he knows.
    “You know exactly what I’m talking about!”  I yell at him accusingly.  I don’t care if the rest of the pack can hear me or not.  I’ll talk to him however I fucking want.
    He stares at me without moving, without giving me any expression or indication that he’s even heard me. 
    “Calm down.” 
    Calm down?   I want to cry at his response.  What the fuck is happening to me?  I need to get away from him.  I search for the door, feeling extremely disoriented and light-headed.  Holy fuck – did they drug me?  I grip the edge of the desk.
    “Ariana?”  He sounds concerned this time and he gets up from his seat to try to steady me, but I push against him and nearly stumble into the wall. 
    “You drugged me?”  I say it as more of a statement and I can’t keep the sadness out of my tone.  How the hell did I let that happen?  I think back for a moment when they could’ve slipped me something, but I haven’t eaten anything.  I haven’t had a drink. 
    He approaches me cautiously, like one would approach a wild, wounded animal.  I don’t blame him.  I’m so unpredictable that I don’t even know how I’m going to react.  He holds up his hands.  “No one drugged you.”  He reaches for me, but I take a step back and round the desk, getting closer to the door.  My heart drops in my suddenly hollow chest.  Lizie.   Fuck!  I shouldn’t have left her alone. 
    “Ariana, you’re safe.  It’s okay.”  I shake my head at his words.  The action makes me feel dizzy again.  My skin feels heated and a tingling sensation takes over my limbs.  Fuck .  What the fuck is going on?  He hasn’t tried to grab me, but I take another step away from him to get closer to the door.  I start breathing frantically and I don’t know if it’s from the drug or from my anxiety.  I try to swallow again, but I can’t.
    “Ariana, I think you’re going into shock.”  He stays where he is with his arms still raised.  “Just try to calm down okay?”  I stare at him like a deer in headlights. 
    Shock?  Is that what this is?  No, that doesn’t explain me wanting to fuck his brains out.  I bite my lip at the thought.  I’ve never felt this way before.  My gaze travels over his body.  He’s fucking gorgeous.  He’s got a bad boy vibe to him that let’s you know he’d pin your legs back and fuck you like he hated you.  My lips part and I let out a small moan as I picture just that.  My pussy clenches and heats as a hot moisture pools between my thighs. 
    A look of relief flashes across Devin’s face almost too quickly for me to notice.  But I fucking notice.  I give him a questioning look. 
    “Calm down Ariana.”  His voice is firm now. 
    “No, tell me what the fuck is going on.”  I just barely get the words out with an air of authority.  My body is begging me to bow to him.  A hot sensation pulses through me, starting at my core.  It makes me squirm.  I can’t stop my facial expression from showing my desperation.  Something’s wrong.  My eyes plead with him to help as the tears fall.  I wipe them again as quickly as I can, trying to hide my desperation.
    “What did you do to me?”  Any substance of authority I had has vanished.  I’m practically begging him to give me answers.  My skin feels cold and hot and numb all at the same time.
    “I didn’t do anything.  I promise you.”  His eyes look so sincere, but I know something is very very wrong.  “It’s only because you’re around me that you feel this way.”  His tone conveys his sympathy. 
    “Then I need to leave now!”  His eyes harden and his
