Chapter 12

The pain in Mike’s eyes tore at Jess. Her mind still churned, and her loins screamed to continue doing what they’d been doing. It was all she could do to remove her palm from his rock-hard abs and step away.

“I guess I’ll go to bed, then,” she said, hearing the misery in her voice.

He didn’t say anything, so she turned back toward the bedroom Mike had shown her. It had come complete with sheets and pillow, though they all had to share a bathroom at the end of the hall. Jess had been worried about that bathroom—she couldn’t imagine what a clan of bear shifters would have done to it—but she’d taken a peek at it earlier, and it was spotless.

She reached her room and turned back to Mike, but he still stood there, as if stricken, staring off into space. Again she ached to go back to him. Instead she entered the room, closed the door, and threw herself on the bed. She felt sadness well up in her, and frustration. She would just let it take her, have a crying fit, but silently, because she knew he could hear her, and then she’d feel better afterwards. She’d get it out of her system and move on. Maybe in six months or a year she’d look Mike up. Maybe.

Someone knocked on the door before she could issue her first sob.

“Mike?”

The door opened, and he stood framed in the doorway, huge and handsome and holding some fierce emotion in check.

“Jess,” he said, twisting his giant hands together. “I …”

She made herself firm. “I haven’t changed my mind.”

“I know. That’s not why I came. It’s only, you said you weren’t tired. I’m not, either. And there’s something I’d like to show you.”

She blinked slowly. “Show me?”

“Yes.”

“It’s not ….” Her gaze traveled to his crotch, which was still engorged, but not as much as it had been. “Not that, is it?” She almost smiled, but didn’t.

“No,” he said, not smiling. “It’s outside.” He paused. “I think it will answer a lot of your questions.”

She frowned, having to recall what she’d even had questions about in the first place. “You mean, about why your crew took over the resort?”

He nodded. “Now will you come with me? You’ll need your jacket.”

Five minutes later they were walking through the snow-shrouded forest. Glimmering white trees stretched toward the heavens all around. The snow muted sound and leant everything a magical, enchanted quality. It was like a different world. Mike was oddly silent, and Jess cast him frequent looks.

“When we were meeting with your alpha, you were keeping some things back,” she said, to get him started. “You said you’d tell me later. Well, now’s later.” When he hesitated, she said, “I’m not pushing. If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to.”

“No, it’s not that. I’m just trying to think of how to say it.”

“It had something to do with Bryce choosing me, I think.”

Mike nodded his square-jawed head. He wasn’t wearing a cap, and flakes of snow settled in his wavy black hair, then began to melt.
