Chapter 13

Once they were on the shore, Amelia and Gavin shook the excess water off their fur, then ran through the woods to reach the campsite, carefully listening for any sign that anyone was out in there. The camp was quiet. No one was making a sound, and the campfire was cold. A lantern was on in one of the tents. The wolves prowled around the tents, sniffing for scents to learn who was staying in which one.

Each of the men had a tent of his own. Cheryl and Mindy were staying with the CEO in a larger blue tent.

Gavin smelled that Mindy had been sleeping in the green tent with Orwell. Not now, but maybe they’d get together later. Or maybe the discussion earlier about insurance policies had made Orwell or Mindy—or both—decide it was better to keep their distance.

He hoped Amelia was all right with sitting around on a job like this, listening during the surveillance, possibly for hours. It could be a long wait for nothing. He should have mentioned that to her first, but he suspected she would have come with him no matter what, rather than be left behind. He was glad she was with him. And truly, the idea of snuggling with her while they waited and listened appealed.

After they checked out all the tents, they lay down under the trees in the brush and waited to see what would happen next. They were curled up together, heads raised, listening.

A couple of hours later, Amelia was snuggled next to Gavin, her head resting on his back as he listened, enjoying the wolf closeness they shared. He never imagined being on a stakeout like this with a beautiful wolf and sharing the space as one.

Someone began moving about and Gavin perked up his ears, twisting them this way and that, pinpointing the location of the rustling. Carrying a flashlight, one of the women was leaving Lee’s tent. He squinted his eyes to identify which one it was in the dark. The woman was Lee. He frowned. What was she doing? Hopefully not walking into the woods to relieve herself close to where he and Amelia were lying down.

Nope. She made a beeline for Conrad’s tent, trying to step quietly on the leaf-and-twig-littered ground so she wouldn’t disturb anyone’s sleep. Gavin’s enhanced hearing was something he loved about being a wolf.

Lee slipped into Conrad’s tent. They were having an affair? Never having suspected it, Gavin wondered if she’d brought Cheryl on the trip as a cover.

“Lee, please, I don’t want to do this,” Conrad said as she entered his tent.

Gavin couldn’t have been more surprised. Was Lee sexually harassing Conrad? Gavin had to admit he never would have thought it, not after what Conrad’s wife suspected was going on.

“You want that promotion, don’t you?” Lee said, her voice hushed and annoyed.

“What if Eleanor believes I’m having an affair? What if she’s the one involved in the downing of the plane?”

“She wouldn’t be. How would she suspect anything? You haven’t done anything wrong.
