Chapter Eleven

Zac checked his reflection in the mirror one last time. He was glad he always traveled with a tux, just in case. It came in very handy this time around.

He thought it would have been difficult for him to somehow get an invitation to come to Vail, but it turned out easier than he thought. The day after the attack, he had overheard his father, the Alpha, and Lucas discussing Adrianna’s arrangements for the conference. Nick was getting ready to be her escort, but Zac stepped in and volunteered instead. “You need to stay here and start making plans for our defense against the mages,” he had said. “You were one of the few that fought them, and the Alpha will need your expertise.”

Astrid was obviously not happy to see him step on that plane, so he did enjoy watching her squirm in jealousy around Isabelle. Of course, he couldn’t stand being around the girl. It really was uncomfortable, the way Isabelle flirted heavily with him. Besides, his inner wolf was annoyed with her and with him, and it would not stand for Astrid being unhappy. He had thought Astrid had been serious about Steve, but when he saw the steward checking him out and sending heavy-lidded glances his way, he knew he had nothing to worry about, and his own jealousy had been tampered down.

After a final check, Zac left his room, jiggling the knob just to be sure it was safely locked. As he looked up, he stopped at the sight that greeted him across the hall. He stood there, transfixed at the vision before him.

The last time that he had seen Astrid that afternoon was when they arrived at the hotel. He was pulled into another last-minute conference call and by the time he was done, the ladies had all checked in. Adrianna had messaged him the details of what time he had to be ready to come by her room, but nothing else. He had assumed that only he and Adrianna were going to be at tonight’s party.

Astrid looked nothing like she did before; well, except maybe the first time he saw her again a few days ago in that ridiculously sexy robe. Red was obviously a good color on her. The crimson off-the-shoulder dress she wore showed off an expanse of creamy skin and just a hint of cleavage. The fabric clung tight around her torso and rest of her body and would have probably been constricting were it not for the high slit on the side. She turned around to make sure her door was secure, exposing a long, slim leg.

His mouth went dry, thinking of the last time she had those legs wrapped around him. She was like a flame, drawing him in like a moth, and he found himself standing inches from her. When she did turn around to face him, her beautiful whiskey-colored eyes lit up in surprise.

“Zac.”

The mere sound of his name on her lips was enough to make him hard as steel, and he was glad he had thought to button his coat.
