Chapter Twelve – Red

“I still don’t like this.” Red looked up at the offices of one Wayne Reeves, PI.

“You don’t have to like it,” Kate told him lightly. “All you have to do is play along and let me do the talking.”

Red glanced across at the woman sitting next to him who looked nothing like Kate Kellan. “Imogen did an amazing job with your makeup.”

“She did, didn’t she?” Kate sat up and tilted the rearview mirror toward her and looked critically at her reflection. Imogen had been more than happy to help, blending the makeup on Kate’s face to change the shape of her eyes and lips. “He won’t recognize me, I’m sure. Even I didn’t recognize myself when Imogen told me to go and look in the full-length mirror in Wanda’s trailer.”

“Not from your face, but a shifter doesn’t always rely on what he sees before him.” Red looked up at the building once more.

“Damn those enhanced senses.” She grinned at him, her bright red lipstick like a blood stain across her pale face. Her heavily made-up eyes beckoned him to come to bed, as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.

All he wanted to do was drive somewhere remote and make out with her in the back of his truck.

I forgot you were such a sophisticated kind of a guy, his bear told him with more than a little humor.

What can I say? I never grew out of making out in the back of a car. Red pulled on the door handle and the car door popped open. “Let’s do this.”

“Okay.” Kate got out of the car and stood up, straightening the tight pencil skirt that hugged her thighs, and tugging the smart-fitted jacket down to cover her fabulous ass. “I feel like a trussed-up turkey.”

“You don’t look like one,” Red replied. He looked down at the suit he wore and knew exactly how she felt. He hadn’t worn a suit since forever. Even at his mom’s funeral, he’d worn his uniform.

As he walked toward the office of Wayne Reeves, PI, he felt as if he had the word imposter tattooed across his forehead. Red didn’t think for a moment that Wayne would buy their act. But then it didn’t really matter. All Red really needed was to see the guy and smell the guy. Then he would know if he was the same guy who was in the park and at the restaurant.

We already know, his bear replied.

Not for sure, he told his bear.

This was the guy who got away at the restaurant, but it’s not the same person who was in the park. His bear was adamant, and under normal conditions Red would never doubt him, but they were both aware of how fogged up his brain was that night.

Kate might joke about his enhanced senses, but that night his senses were offline. The nearness of his mate had consumed him, overloading his brain. All he could think about was meeting her.

“Are you ready?” Kate asked as they stood at the bottom of the steps leading up to the building.
