Jack scanned the large common room that served as a cafeteria and general gathering place. There were so many people there, so many more than he’d ever estimated. When Ben had shown them around the day before, they’d only met a handful. Jack now felt like he was in the break room of some big corporation. Of course, it would’ve had to have been one of those newer places with good benefits and flexible work schedules, because everyone looked way too happy to be there.

Finally, his eyes landed on a woman in a blue shirt just getting in the back of the line for food. Her waves of hair were slightly rumpled, but her eyes carried a familiar glow to them as she, too, scanned the room.

He stepped up behind her. “I was worried about you getting back to your room last night,” he whispered in Erica’s ear. “You should’ve let me walk with you.”

“I can handle myself, thank you.” Her words were tough, but the coy smile she gave him sent an entirely different message. “Besides, it wouldn’t be worth both of us getting into trouble.”

The line moved forward, and the two of them stepped up with it as someone headed toward the tables with a tray full of food. “We’re in this together, Erica. We already were, but I would think last night more than proved that.” He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her, and it wasn’t just the sex. Jack had been honest when he’d confessed that he believed Erica to be his mate. Those were words he’d never thought to hear from his own mouth, but as soon as they were out, they made complete sense. No one else had ever sensed him in the way that she did, psychic or not. Never had he been tempted to reveal his own truth to a non-shifter, yet he’d just blurted it out to her in the car. There was no denying it for him. She was his.

“Yes, but at least some of that has to wait. We’re supposed to be best friends, remember?” She glanced up at him again through her lashes.

He thought he might completely come apart inside seeing her like that. Jack had always relied heavily on his logic, and it was only the shifter portion of him that didn’t like to obey practicality and reasoning. Whatever had happened between he and Erica had brought even more of that out in him, and he was struggling to have any control over himself whatsoever. “That’s going to be a hard sell if you keep looking at me like that.”

She turned away, and the conversation was suspended while they filled their trays from the generous buffet. Jack noted a wide array of quality, fresh food that even most restaurants didn’t offer. “This is quite a spread,” he remarked as the two of them sat down at a table near the corner. “It certainly helps rule out a few theories, too.”

Erica looked up from her tray. Her eyes were soft and sweet, but she quickly hardened them.
