Chapter Six

After a shower, Vail headed downstairs to find some dinner. He figured he’d missed eating with the guys, but that’d been his plan. He wasn’t ready to be bombarded by questions quite yet. He was still assimilating all the changes himself.

While he was rummaging through the fridge, Adam walked in. The white tiger shifter greeted him with a nod, then leaned over his shoulder and grabbed a beer. When he straightened, he muttered, “Congrats.”

Vail frowned and shut the door, setting the Chinese take-out container on the counter. “You okay?” he asked, eyeing his friend. The man looked seriously…depressed.

Adam grimaced. “Awe, I don’t want to rain on your parade, man. I’m just...” He shrugged and took a swig of his beer. From the smell of the man, this wasn’t the first couple he’d had this evening.

“Just what?” Vail asked, concerned. It wasn’t often he saw the big, friendly shifter down.

“Eh, it’s nothing,” Adam said, putting him off. “I just need to get laid, that’s all.”

It suddenly hit him. Vail wrapped his arm around the man and squeezed. “You’ll find your mate,” he assured. “You know none of us will stop searching until every last one of us is happily mated off.”

Adam rolled his eyes. “Yeah, I know.”

Grinning, Vail teased, “Maybe you and some of the guys should head out to a club or something. I bet letting loose would lift your spirits.” He pulled away as he spoke and picked up his food. Shoving it into the microwave, he rested his hip against the counter and waited for Adam’s response.

The big shifter nodded and gave him a smile that appeared just a little forced. “I’m sure that’d do a number of us good. It’s been a while since we’ve been cooped up this long.”

Vail agreed. “You got that right. If I didn’t need to stick around because of Draven, I’d love to get on my bike and ride to the beach. Spending a day surfing sounds like a blast right now,” he stated ruefully.

Adam seemed to brighten. “I bet I could get a couple of the guys to do that with me. Spend a few days scoping out hot, half-naked guys on the beach…” Once more grinning, he took a swig of his beer.

Smirking, Vail took his food from the microwave and grabbed a fork. “Now you’re making me jealous.”

Bumping shoulders with him, Adam winked. “Where is Draven, anyway?”

Vail shrugged. “Off doing his cop thing, rescuing some girl, if I understood him right.” He grimaced, thinking of the kidnapped girl’s family. “I’m sure her parents will be happy to have her home,” he murmured absently.

“I bet having visions is wicked helpful in his line of work,” Adam said, using his fingers to grab one of the fried pork pieces from Vail’s sweet and sour pork.

Vail gave him a mock glare and stabbed at him with his fork. After they both chuckled, he stated, “It didn’t really sound like it. I mean, how do you explain to your partner when you find a kidnap victim, but have no evidence or clues that led you to them.
