Chapter 13

Bronwyn pulled her car into a space overlooking Ghost Lake, butterflies fluttering in her stomach as she stared out at the dark water. Maverick placed his hand on her thigh as she clutched the steering wheel, battling the desire to put the car back into gear and get the hell away from the meeting place.

She had the feeling something terrible was going to happen, couldn’t shake it as she glanced at Maverick and tried to breathe through her nerves. The corners of his lips twitched, as close to a smile as he had gotten since they had set off from the car park of The Spirit Moose after swapping his truck for her smaller hatchback.

“Everything will be fine, Winnie,” he murmured and she nodded, but she didn’t feel it.

When his hand slipped from her knee and he turned away from her, she wanted to grab him and tell him not to open the door. He was out of it before she could move and she followed suit, opening the driver’s door and easing from the vehicle. Her gaze scanned the dark lot, butterflies becoming a hurricane as her senses stretched around her.

Nothing.

There wasn’t a soul for as far as her acute senses could reach.

Maverick rounded the car to her, his face a black mask as he slipped into his role.

“Why did you bring me out here, Winnie?” he snarled and she tensed, reminded herself it was just an act and that they had to make this look good. He needed to look like he wasn’t in on things or the hunters would grow suspicious.

Not that there were any nearby.

She stilled and stared at Maverick. Unless he could sense further than she could and had detected danger.

“It’s just a stop off before we continue. I wanted to stretch my legs.” That sounded lame even to her but at least she sounded flustered.

He folded his arms across his chest, causing his black cable-knit sweater to stretch tight over his biceps.

Distracting her.

Her bear side growled in approval of his visible strength, had her growing restless again. Kissing him had only made it harder for her to concentrate when she was around him. She kept thinking about how good his body had felt against hers, how firm and dominating his kiss had been, but also how tender it had been.

His eyes narrowed on her and he inhaled, growled as his jaw flexed and his gaze seared her.

A thrill chased through her, lighting up her blood, rousing that ache again—an ache only he could satisfy.

Maverick took a hard step towards her and she shivered at the thought he might grab her and kiss her, but instead he hissed, “Dial it back, Bronwyn. I can’t focus for shit when you’re looking at me like that.”

She tried to tamp down her desire, wrangled her body back under control and squared up to him. “I told you, we need to get to Calgary. That’s where he’s waiting.”

It was a risk to talk about a third party, but one Maverick had decided would be worth it.
