Chapter 10

The sun beat down, warming her skin, letting her insides uncoil another notch as the heat soothed her stomach. Kayley couldn’t quite wrap her head around the fact she’d left Miami, traveled for hours on open roads and been, mostly, okay.

She’d returned to the condo that morning, the day after the boys’ visit to her apartment and the overwhelming dream experience, expecting an ecstatic greeting, only to find a very stressed out pack and no chance of talking with Luke or Sean.

Will’s emotions were spiraling out of control. He’d shifted, panicked, and ripped apart the huge leather couch, knocking over some of the horrifyingly expensive sculptures along the way. Will became so upset by what he’d done that every time he went into the room he changed to wolf form again. Eventually, Luke asked Sean and Kayley to take Will out for the day while they righted the damage. Torn by wanting to do as Luke asked, and being there for Will, versus her fear of traveling, she’d screwed up the courage to face her phobia and go with her cousin. He needed all the comfort she could offer.

They’d traveled up the Everglades Parkway, or Alligator Alley, as it was known, to Fort Myers. A journey she’d struggled through at times, but managed to bear due to Sean’s strong, soothing presence. After spending a couple of hours at Fort Myers, Sean suggested they travel a bit farther, to Sarasota. He’d heard of an amazing beach he wanted to show them.

That’s how Kayley went from never leaving Miami, to taking a three-hour road trip.

Her mind returned to the topic she kept obsessing on—her recent dream of the two men and Luke’s recognition of her presence. Sean had mentioned it to her as they’d prepared to leave. He’d explained that they really had been making love that night and that Luke had sensed her presence in the room at the end. The fact her dream was real terrified Kayley. What it might signify she didn’t want to contemplate. Part of her wanted to give herself up to it, mind, body, and soul, but another part of her wanted to hold back. She’d only just found herself again after many years and didn’t want to be overwhelmed by another person to the degree she lost all of her hard-won independence.

“Told you Sarasota was a good idea.” Sean appeared in her line of vision.

Fresh out of the ocean, he dripped ice-cold drops of water onto her legs, making her shiver.

“You did indeed.” She gazed at him, letting his infectious smile banish her worries for the moment.

The beach blew her away, mile after mile of baby powder soft sand. In the late afternoon light, it appeared blindingly white against the blue of the water and sky. They’d placed their towels on a relatively deserted patch of beach, and she’d been able to relax and enjoy the sun as Sean and Will swam.

Sean kneeled down next to her and took hold of her face, pulling it toward his own as his lips brushed hers.
