Chapter 10

The cougar moved alongside the jaguar, rubbing its flanks against hers. The touch of their fur was electric, the feel of same but different blossoming inside it. A chuff sounded and then the jaguar moved, walking to the windows where chairs lay tumbled on the floor. It went up on its hind legs, two paws pressing against the window and just as fast sliding down until the cat was on all fours again.

The cougar took measured steps, easing across the room in the same manner it would in the wild. The jaguar did not move until the cougar rubbed against it once more, opening its mouth to graze its teeth over an ear and then rub its face against the jaguar’s. The skittish spotted cat moved away again.

Keller shifted back. He walked to where Shya’s cat now stood and sat down on the floor beside it. Seconds passed but they seemed like hours with him remaining silent and her cat standing perfectly still. It was a beautiful creature, its fur looking as smooth and soft as velvet. He reached up a hand and touched it, watching his fingers easing over the spots that even though were darker still blended seamlessly with the golden-brown hue.

The jaguar’s breaths were coming slower now, its large head still held high when it went into a sitting position. She was calming down and he was going to stay with her until it was done.

“You shifted because you were afraid. I’m sorry. I should have thought of that. I should have said something to you before I left the room.” But he hadn’t because he wasn’t in the habit of reporting his whereabouts to anyone. Besides, they were still in the same building together, he just hadn’t considered that waking up in this room alone would frighten her so much that she’d allow her cat to take over.

“I don’t know how to do this,” he admitted. “Hell, I don’t even know what this is. I told you to come along because I didn’t know what else to say and now that you’re here I don’t know what to do about it. It just…you weren’t…I mean, it’s not in the plan. It never was meant to be part of any of my plans.”

And he was babbling, making absolutely no sense to himself and most likely not to her either. He was going to run his hand through his hair, something he’d done often as a kid when he was confused or flustered. His mother would always be there to brush his hand away and comfort him, make him feel less of a loner and more of the strong Shadow Shifter he was born to be. But instead of touching his own hair, this time Keller put his other hand on her cat as well. Now both his hands were rubbing over the jaguar as it sat on its hind legs.

He rubbed from the top of her head all the way down to her tail and she sat still while he did it.
