CHAPTER ELEVEN
Grace zipped up her suitcase and set it back in the corner even as she tried not to obsess over where Ren was. Sheâd woken up alone half an hour ago andâ¦couldnât believe that heâd just left. Not without a note or something.
She looked at her phoneâstill no serviceâand saw that she needed to leave in a few minutes. She was dressed and had everything she needed. Except Ren.
When the door jangled and the lock slid open, she paused, relief hitting her hard as Ren stepped inside, two thermoses in his hands.
âMorning, sunshine.â The low timbre of his voice this morning did all sorts of things to her insides.
Sheâd been wondering how this morning would be after last nightâoh my God, after sheâd sat on his face. That had been such an amazing experience and she wanted to do it again as soon as possible. But sheâd been feeling off-kilter since, wondering if things would be weird between them. âMorning yourself,â she murmured, crossing the room as he came toward her.
He took away all worry as he claimed her mouth, sweet and sensually, before he pulled back with a groan. âIâd meant to be back quicker,â he said, handing her one of the thermoses. âI got you hot coffee with actual flavored creamer. The kind you like.â
âCreamer?â She hadnât seen that luxury anywhere in ages.
âA human family has a dairy farm and supplies the area.â
âYou just became my new favorite person.â
âI wasnât already your favorite person?â His mouth kicked up at the corners as he took a sip of his own coffee.
âAfter last night you definitely are.â She took a sip of her own drink, sighed in appreciation.
He snorted out a laugh. âAnd after last night I really hate that weâre not working together today.â
âWhat are you doing today anyway?â she asked as he held out a small cloth bag for her.
âThere are a couple nutrient-dense nut bars in there for breakfast and even lunch if you need,â he said. âAnd to answer your question, Iâm heading out to the far reaches of the perimeter with Griff and a couple other shifters.â
She hated the thought of him out there, unable to be contacted. She knew he was skilled and deadly, had seen it firsthand, but she was still going to worry. âThank you, thatâs really thoughtful.â
He just watched her for a long moment, his dark eyes hungry. For her. âI really wish we could just stay inside all day.â
âMe too.â She went up on tiptoe, kissed him again before pulling back. Then she tucked the bars into her backpack and slid it on her back. While she wanted to ask him what the future held for them, it felt too soon. And besides, if she didnât like the answer, she didnât want to know before heading off to work. âBut weâre here for a job.â
Sighing, he headed toward the door. âI wish my job was making you climax all day,â he murmured as he opened the door.
Aaaand they found themselves face-to-face with their neighbor across the hall.
