Chapter Seventeen – Elise

“Domestic bliss.” She passed him a plate of food and sat down next to Caleb who had dragged a large fallen tree trunk over to their small camping area and placed their sleeping bags on the ground in front of it. The sleeping bags cushioned them from the hard ground while the tree trunk acted as a backrest.

“I could get used to watching you cook.” He leaned forward and inhaled deeply. “The smell is incredible.”

“In a good way?” she asked as she shuffled around to get comfortable.

“Of course, in a good way.” He picked up his fork.

“Because lots of things smell incredible. Some incredibly good and some incredibly bad.”

“Don’t put yourself down,” Caleb told her firmly. “So far, from what I’ve seen, smelled and now am about to taste, your cooking is wonderful.”

“But not as good as Ivan’s.” She pressed her lips together, her fork hovering above her plate.

“Let’s see.” He stuck his fork into the dish she’d prepared with the truffles his bear had dug out of the ground. After sniffing it, he opened his mouth and ate. “Oh, wow. No, your cooking isn’t like Ivan’s.”

“You don’t have to eat it,” she told him quickly, her mouth turned down at the corners as she watched his face.

“I didn’t say it was bad. I just said it wasn’t like Ivan’s. It’s different.” He forked up another mouthful. “The flavors burst on your tongue but then there’s a subtle aftertaste. It’s incredible.”

“You’re not just saying that?” she asked.

“Shifter here.” He pointed at his chest. “Mate there.” He pointed at her. “That means I can’t lie to you.”

“Ah, or are you telling me that because you don’t want to hurt me? What would be worse, hurting my feelings with the truth, that the dish is terrible, or lying to me that you like it?”

“You’re not good at receiving compliments, are you?”

“Not especially,” she admitted. “You could call me modest.”

“This food deserves more than modesty.”

“Do you think Ivan will like it?” she asked. “I trust your judgment since he is your brother. You must know what food he likes.”

“He’ll be blown away.” Caleb cracked a smile. “In a good way.”

“Good.” She ducked her head and ate her food, trying not to smile.

“It really is good.” Caleb took another bite. “Are these all ingredients you found today?”

“Yes, with a little help from your bear.” She ate for a moment, glancing up at him as she chewed. “I like him. I like him a lot.”

“He likes you a lot.” His brow creased. “If I told you he loved you, would that freak you out?”

“No, not at all. I can see he’s a part of you. I can see you in his eyes. Or are they the same eyes?” she asked. “I have so many questions.”

“I want to answer them all.” He waggled an eyebrow. “But I also want to keep some mystery. I’d hate for you to get bored of me.”

“There’s no hope of that. I don’t think I could ever get bored of watching you shift.
