Chapter Six

“It’s coffee. I made it myself.” Crosby handed her the mug with an endearing grin. Thankfully, under her tutelage, he’d shifted back with no issues. Now dressed in some faded jeans and a thick pullover sweater, he was making nice.

“Coffee will never make up for the possible toes I’m going to lose from frostbite, Crosby Nash.” She put her hands around the hot mug and clenched it to her chest, burrowing under the blankets Crosby had tucked around her with such care. Even after her shift back, she was still freezing.

“I did apologize, and you accepted. How long do you plan to cling to this iceberg?”

“Until I’m no longer an iceberg myself.”

Driving his hand beneath the blankets, he scooped up one of her icy feet, clad in two pairs of socks, and began to rub. “You know, the best way to get warm is skin-to-skin,” he offered, his tone sexy and teasingly suggestive.

“Thank you, Dr. Nash. My frozen toes and drippy nose thank you, too.”

He didn’t respond to her sarcasm, which led her to believe he had some internal dialogue going on in his gorgeous head. His silence, which would have been welcome earlier, now left her uneasy.

She let his hands work their magic for a moment before she asked, “So, what were you doing there anyway, Crosby? Any thoughts on what made you go the way you went?” She had to wonder if instinct had been his guide or it was something more. Like maybe he’d smelled what she’d smelled. If he had, he hid it well. Neither of them had made mention of it.

He ran a hand over his face, the stubble on his jaw audibly rasping against his hand, his eyes focused on everything and nothing. “Part of it has to do with that fence. I don’t know what it is. I just know there’s something just beyond that fence that’s so familiar. Also, a woman named Marina. You know her?”

Ella struggled to keep her expression passive, but her heart nearly jumped out of his chest. “I think the question is, how do you know her?” Avoid, avoid, avoid. God, this was killing her.

He shrugged his wide shoulders. “I don’t know. I just know she’s in that direction and just before I shifted, I saw a blurry image of her in my head. The strangest damn thing, too…”

“What?”

“Hey, do I have a sister?”

She shook her head with a violent shiver as another set of chills assaulted her. Chills she wasn’t sure could be attributed to being exposed to the below-freezing temperatures or Marina’s name on Crosby’s lips. “No. No sisters. No brothers, and your parents are in a relocated pack in Boca because your mom hates the cold. She wanted to come, by the way, but the pack asked her to wait a bit before overwhelming you. Why do you ask?”

Crosby shook his head, the dark strands of his hair still mussed. “That’s the strange thing. I felt like this Marina was my sister. In fact, I was sure of it.
