SINS
OF THE FLESH
By Caridad Pineiro
She never expected that she
would become someone’s lab rat . . .
World
renowned musician Caterina Shaw is losing her battle against an inoperable
brain tumor. Her one chance to beat the disease stealing her life is a risky
experimental gene therapy. It’s a risk Caterina is willing take to save her
life, but now she’s something she doesn’t understand. Extraordinary powers and abilities have made
her something other than human. As she
tries to understand what she has become, she finds herself accused of a vicious
murder and on the run for her life.
He’s the kind of man who’s
hired to take care of problems . . .
Even
if it means eliminating them. Mick
Carrera is a mercenary and gifted at dealing with the most difficult of
situations. He’s been hired to hunt down a woman who is nothing like he expects:
Caterina is vulnerable, injured, and inhuman. But hidden beneath the weird
powers she’s exhibiting is a determined and strong woman whose beauty tempts
Mick and makes him think about things that can never be. As passion erupts between
them, danger threatens from those who would eliminate Caterina’s existence to
safeguard their secrets.
The
home was one of welcome, filled with warm vibrant colors that reminded her of Mexico. Imbued with the touch of family which roused
more memories of other times.
Happy
times with her mother.
Caterina
ran her hand over the rough-hewn oak sideboard.
Regretted the roundish dents left behind by her fingers. She traced the rough edges of the cast iron
candelabras which were crudely elegant as they rested on the wooden surface.
They were beautiful even despite the lack of gloss or adornment. Simplistically
functional like the man who owned them.
Leaning
toward the fat pillar candle on one of them, she inhaled deeply, but only a
hint of the fragrance remained.
He
didn’t spend enough time in this place to use them or keep them fresh.
If
the house was well-maintained, it was by someone else’s hand, she suspected.
The
rumble of the garage door opening alerted her that he was back.
She
walked to the kitchen and stood just a few feet away from the side door that
led into the garage.
He
came through a moment later. The alarm
began its warning chirp, but he quickly shut it down and as he turned, she
realized he was hurt. A bloody slice of
skin was stark against the black of the clothes he wore. His face had a multitude of scrapes and
bruises as did his hands.
It
would have been too stupid to point out the obvious. Instead she grabbed the top rung of a kitchen
chair and swung it around. Pointed to it
and said, “Sit. I’ll go get something to
patch you up.”
His
eyes narrowed as he said, “Since I’m the one who knows where everything is,
shouldn't I go?”
“I’m
sure I can find the supplies.” She jabbed
her index finger at the chair again.
“Sit before you bleed all over the kitchen.”
He
stalked toward the oven, snagged one of the kitchen towels hanging from the
door handle, and wrapped it around the wound on his forearm. When he took two big strides toward her, she
controlled the urge to flinch, but miraculously, he obeyed her and plopped down
onto the kitchen chair.
“There’s
a small linen closet in the master bathroom.
Medical kit is in there,” he said and cradled his injured arm to his
midsection.
She
rushed upstairs and found the kit right where he said. Grabbing the plastic olive green box with the
red and white cross, she hurried back downstairs, but stopped short as she
entered the kitchen.
He
had pulled off his black sweater and the naked expanse of his shoulders was
leanly muscled. On the one shoulder he
bore a bruise in the shape of a hand – her hand.
Caterina
bit her lip and walked around him to the table where she laid the medical kit
on the table. While she opened the gear,
she glanced at him sideways, slowly inventorying the damage to his body.
On
his left shoulder, the vivid imprint of her hand from where she had grabbed him
earlier that day.
Further
down, a series of reddish blotches sure to turn into more bruises.
She
skipped over the sight of his lean sculpted abs, her hands shaky as she took
out some gauze and butterfly bandages from the medical supplies. As she removed the pre-packaged alcohol pads,
she said, “Let me see your arm.”
He
shifted the chair to better face her and it squeaked against the tile
floor. Laying his hand flat on the
table, he splayed his fingers against the thick wooden surface to allow her to
examine the wound.
She
winced as she noted the length and depth of the knife cut.
“That
looks like it’ll need stitches.”
He
grunted in agreement. “Lil can close it
later if we clean it up.”
She
nodded and ripped open a few alcohol pads.
Wadding them together, she faced him to start the clean up, but as she
did so she noticed the cuts, scrapes and bruises on his face. Once again she winced, earning an amused
chuckle from him.
“Don’t
worry. The other guy looks worse.”
His
comment, undeniably macho as it was, dragged a chuckle from her before she
dabbed at the areas around the wound.
Gently she wiped away the dried blood and smudges of dirt. Tossed aside the dirty pads and opened up new
ones.
As
she gingerly cleaned the knife slice in his arm, he sucked in a breath and his
fingers turned white as he pressed down on the table from the sting of the
alcohol against the open wound.
“I’m
sorry,” she said and guilt rose up even more sharply as she once again took
note of her handprint against his collarbone and shoulder.
