Chapter Seven

Colton pushed the cart through the aisles, watching as Shawnee picked things up and either lowered or raised her brows. He was getting used to her expressions, could tell exactly the moment she decided whether she liked something, could tell exactly when she wanted to take it home. He’d only intended for her to buy herself some more lounge type clothes, but when she wandered down the home goods aisle and discovered a few more home décor things, there wasn’t a chance in hell he’d tell her no.

In the end, he didn’t really need to say no. She only chose a few empty picture frames and tossed them in the cart on top of her PJs.

“What are those for?”

“This one is for a pic of Blackwater. This one is for Hope Pride. This one is for Big River,” she said, lifting each individual frame. “And this one is for when we finally have a picture of us together.” Light pink made her freckles stand out even more on her cheeks.

So many things floated through his head but he couldn’t settle on a single one. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead and breathed in her scent. His mate. His true mate. He had no idea whether she’d ever know how deeply she was burrowing into his heart, but he was doing his best to show her.

Shawnee gingerly laid the last frame on top of everything else as if there was already a picture of them under the glass. She laid a hand on the side of the cart as Colton aimed it toward the front of the store.

“You sure you don’t want to look at anything else?”

“I’m pretty sure I’ve touched every single thing in here,” she said with a wide grin and a twinkle in her eye. There was seriously a twinkle and she was glowing. How had he not noticed that before?

His mate was truly the most beautiful creature he’d ever seen. He couldn’t wait until they Shifted and ran through the woods together. He couldn’t wait to see her lioness.

Colton unloaded the cart and paid for everything, gently pushing Shawnee’s hands away when she tried to grab the bags and load them into the cart. She cocked one brow, pushed his hands away, and proceeded to load it all up, hooking the bag with the frames over her arm.

With a bit of a pep to his step, Colton leaned against the handle of the cart when Shawnee stopped to admire a few plants lined up on the sidewalk outside. She turned her face up to him. “Do you think we should—”

“Shawnee Baker,” a woman said. She didn’t call it out in a question, more of an accusation, like the person couldn’t believe Shawnee was in public. Her tone was far too condescending and disciplinary for Colton’s taste.

Shawnee’s shoulders tightened and she slowly turned, all hints of the earlier smiles and laughter long gone from her face. “Jeremy. Tonya,” she said with a dip of her head and her eyes on the ground.
