Chapter Ten

Sometime later the Jeep skidded to a stop and she jerked in her seat until the seat belt caught her. Her eyes flew open and she stared through the windshield. In front of her there was a small cabin at the base of a mountain barely visible through a stand of trees. If Malcolm hadn't parked just so she probably would have looked right over it.

“Where are we?”

"Safe house. One I haven't used in a very long time so hopefully it will buy us some time to rest and grab some food before we leave again.”

“Leave? You have a plan for what comes next?”

“At some point we are going to have to talk to Kane. My brother is a lot of things but disloyal isn't one of them.”

Chey snorted. "You think after everything you've done he wouldn't turn on you?"

Malcolm turned to her sharply. "No I don't. If you didn't lie about him sending you here then his reasons are legit. Trust me." He pulled a duffel bag out from under his seat. "I know my brother."

Chey sniffed. She used to have blind faith like that and then John died and her family turned their back. “You might be the world's biggest fool, Malcolm Gunn. I'm not sure I want to stake my life on that.”

“If you didn't kill the shifter then you have nothing to worry about. They seemed far more suspicious about my involvement. They were merely baiting you to get a rise out of me. Guess it worked.” Malcolm hoisted the bag over his shoulder and headed toward the tiny cabin.

Suddenly a stab of anxiety shot through her. Alone with him she wasn't sure she could trust herself. That little bit of shut-eye had done nothing to bring her down from the shift. The animal was still too close to the surface and only one of two things helped: A lot of sleep or some intense sex. One seemed out of the question, what with them being on the run and needing to keep their guards up, and the other posed a dangerous risk to her sanity.

She could still feel the thick slide of him as he'd entered her earlier. So much had happened in the course of one day it seemed hard to believe it was just that morning. The sensations he'd elicited from her had been off the charts incredible.

“You coming?” He'd turned and now stood eyeing her warily.

“Yeah.” Although not in the way you think. She mentally slapped herself for her wayward thoughts. She wasn't going to stay in control if she kept this up.

Malcolm punched a code into a security pad embedded into the doorframe. When the door popped open, he held it for her and waited for her to enter in front of him. Her eyes didn't need to adjust to the darkness; she could see equally well with or without light. There were many advantages to being a shifter.

Other than some basic dust on the place, it looked sparse and functional.
