Chapter Thirteen

Gable

It felt so damned good to be home. I’d been running from the ghosts of the war for so long, I hadn’t even remembered the good in this town. Werewolves weren’t solitary creatures and I’d forced my animal away from the pack he led. No wonder I had no control. It was my wolf’s revenge.

Lucianna played such a big part in the happiness of my homecoming. Drinking with Luke and Jeremiah, and then me coming back to the room with her putting her needs right out there in the open like she’d done. And then her figuring out what I was, and accepting it? I shook my head in awe. Last night was easily the best night of my life.

For the first time in a long time, I looked forward to seeing the home I’d abandoned. The scrape of the straight razor was rhythmic as I shaved over the washbasin. If she liked my scars on display, they were hers. I didn’t care what anyone else thought about my looks so long as she kept touching my uneven skin with that look of wonder swimming in the deep green color of her eyes.

I paused when Lucianna rolled away from the gray light streaming through the window, but when she sighed and relaxed again, I kept shaving. Luke and Jeremiah were just like I remembered. Jeremiah was quiet and mannerly while Luke would be a rake until the day he died. We laughed into the night like I’d never left all those years ago. They liked Lucianna. I could all but smell my brother’s approval and it settled something in me.

With a smooth face, I studied the creeping scar that ran from collar bone to cheek. Lucianna was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen, and for some reason, my looks were okay with her too. The fates were repaying me for good deeds and the hell they’d put me through.

Lucianna’s voice was sweet and sleepy. “Gable? What time is it?”

I wiped my face with a towel and sat on the bed next to her. Leaning forward to nibble her ear, I said, “It’s almost dawn.”

She hadn’t bothered to put her dress back on last night and thank God for that. I couldn’t get enough of the alabaster lengths of her skin. She raked her nails against my chest until little trails of raised red skin followed. I liked that she wasn’t gentle with me. My wolf liked it too.

“Do we have time?” she asked in a husky voice that just about had my animal howling.

I nuzzled her neck with my smooth jaw until she giggled and hugged me close. “I saw something scandalous last night,” she breathed.

I eased back and tried to stifle a grin. She looked appalled, which perked my curiosity right up. “Oh, yeah? What did you see?”

“I’m embarrassed to say I walked into the wrong room after I left you and your brothers.”

I propped up on my elbow and laughed. I could only imagine what she’d walked in on.
