Meredith

Meredith didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Maybe a bit of both. It couldn’t hurt, right?

Though Dice told her that they didn’t have time – and that much she could tell herself as well, because they were cooped up in a tiny bathroom at the most lavish terrorist party known to shifterkind – she couldn’t help herself. Getting up on her tiptoes as much as the high heels allowed her, she brushed her hands over Dice’s cheeks and pulled him into a kiss.

Their lips met and there was no hesitation, no spot of tentative nervousness. Only love and acceptance of one another.

His tongue snaked into her mouth and she moaned breathily, her lashes fluttering closed as she felt his arms tighten around them. It was like he was breathing life back into her, and hope. It had seemed impossible to think that there could really be any good left in her future, other than the chance of seeing her son again, but now in Dice’s arms, she knew that there was more to fight for.

It was a needed reminder.

Reluctantly, Dice pulled away from their kiss and she allowed him that much, though she hated to break their moment. But as soon as she looked at him again, even through the haze of lust and love, she could see how serious the situation was. There was an aura of nervous energy around Dice that she had rarely seen.

“Okay. What do I need to know?” she asked, getting them both back on the track of business over pleasure.

“Right,” Dice said, loosening his grip on her and slicking a hand through his short-cropped hair. “My whole team is here but we’re supposed to be observing. Do you know why you’re here tonight?”

“I’m supposed to be meeting the Research Control Committee. I think it’s about my work. I should be testing on live subjects already, shifters, but they’ve been dragging their feet.”

Dice nodded solemnly. Even just looking at him set her mind at ease, clearing away the fog of worry and panic. He was like a sentry, tall and proud, distilling faith in her in a way that nothing else could.

“That’s what we were hoping for. We need to know who these people are. I have someone watching and we’re going to be nearby, but I don’t think we can get you out of here today. We’re only supposed to mark our targets for the future and then come for you when we have them rounded up.”

Meredith’s expression fell slightly and she looked down at her feet, the gems on her shoes sparkling back at her with nauseating cheer. She understood, of course. Frankly, she wasn’t sure if she would have agreed to go to begin with, seeing as she didn’t have Dice with her. But somehow hearing it made it all the more real.

Freedom and happiness were like carrots being dangled in front of her nose and she could never quite reach them.

“I understand,” she said softly, nuzzling her nose into his neck and breathing in his scent by the lungful.
