The whole notion of ‘ignore him and you’ll forget about him’ was flawed from the start. For one thing, she needed to work closely with him, unless she wanted to admit defeat and go home. Knowing that she’d be sent right back by Cisco if she came with news that the house was likely to be unfinished by Christmas, that wasn’t really an option.

On top of that, he also seemed to be everywhere even when she wasn’t around him. The air suddenly seemed rich with his scent, and her animal kept sniffing it out at every turn, breathing in greedily when she caught a whiff of him.

And everywhere in the worksite, she could see signs of his doing. Not only in the carvings, but how he managed his men – fairly, but strictly, as a friend and as a boss at the same time. He made it look so easy, too.

Cisco was the kind of man who ruled over those who worked for him with the expressed understanding that they were there to serve him. Finn worked with his men like an equal among equals, even though he was just a little bit better. It was that which made them follow him, though it was a pack of shifters who were more than likely mostly Alphas themselves.

Instead of being awkward around her, he was behaving as if nothing had happened last night, and that served her just fine. Other than a couple of glances she noticed during the day, lingering a little too long on her, everything seemed as it had been the day before.

They bickered and argued fervently, both throwing endless perfectly good rationalizations into the mix, until one of them folded, threw up their arms and gave up on trying to convince the other. Until they moved to the next problem, of course.

Christine couldn’t help but love the dynamic.

He was giving her more pushback than she would have imagined any ‘mere’ foreman daring to do when talking to a client, but Finn didn’t see her as any better, or worse than himself. He functioned in a world of facts and rationality, and that was just fine with Christine, who’d become far too accustomed to Cisco’s flavor of reason.
