Chapter Five

Lightning streaked across the night sky and rain poured down in pounding torrents. This was freakish weather for Nevada. Cleo paced in front of the window. Where was he? Adrian had been gone for fifteen minutes already. Anxiety knotted her belly. Where was he?

Fifteen minutes wasn’t that long, was it? Her hands trembled as she shoved them through her hair and gripped the long strands. Another jolt of terror shot through her. God, he mattered too much to her. Already. She wanted to blame it on the automatic connection of mating, but she couldn’t. It was everything. The sex, the way he came after her and refused to let her disappear into oblivion, the way he protected her, the gruff way he cared. She was brutally honest with herself, didn’t allow her to cop out of what her heart knew.

She was in love with him. Her chest tightened, and tears pricked at her eyes. It was the worst possible timing, but she couldn’t deny it. Not what he meant to her and not her own feelings. The wonder of it wrapped her in sweet warmth.

What she wouldn’t give to survive this and have fifty years with him—her mate. Her body had known him the moment they’d met in the bar. He was meant to be hers, and she was his.

Yes.

But being with her was going to get him killed. Her stomach turned, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Hopeless. It was all so hopeless.

She wanted to stay with him forever, but it could be a death sentence for him. And she didn’t think she could survive losing him that way. But what could she do? He’d already found her once. And the hours since had only drawn them closer, made the connection deeper. He’d find her, no matter where she ran. And Trevor would be right on his heels. She pressed shaking fingers to her eyes.

She loved Adrian so much. The sweet pain of it flooded her. Sucking in a deep breath, his scent filled her nose. Adrian. She ran the few steps to the door and threw it open.

The tawny and black spotted leopard materialized from the dark. He shook his coat off on the porch and walked in. Predatory grace reflected in his every movement, and his eyes tracked her like succulent prey. His body stretched and flowed as he shifted back into his human form. His naked human form. His cock curved up in a long, thick erection.

“I told you not to open the door.”

Eyes locked on his cock, she shut the door and felt coherent thought spinning out of her grasp. “I knew it was you. I could smell you.”

“Look at me.” Her gaze snapped up to his face, and a flush heated her cheeks. A slow, hot smile curved his lips and lit his pale green eyes as he leaned back on the dining room table. His arms folded across his wide, muscular chest. “I told you not to open the door.”

She swallowed, excitement exploding in her veins.
