Chapter 15

Even after showering, Nyx could smell Anton on her skin. Anyone who came near her would think she really did belong to him in a very primitive way. It would make for an awkward evening, not to mention an uncomfortable introduction to a new potential mate. It couldn’t be helped. Everything she’d touched this morning had belonged to Anton.

Now she walked so close to him, their sides touched. She couldn’t bring herself to put space between them. After being surrounded by his scent all night, she craved him. Besides, loose gravel covered this section of the path leading to the main part of the campus. The heels she’d chosen for tonight’s dinner weren’t made for uneven surfaces. If she stumbled, Anton could catch her.

“Why are we leaving so early?” Nyx adjusted her shawl, covering her bare arms. Good girls didn’t show so much skin this early in the day. “It’s barely midafternoon.”

“I need to stop at the library.”

“Working even on your day off?” She grinned. The man was dedicated. She had to give him that.

“I don’t get days off. There’s too much to do.”

Her smile dimmed. The stoic Anton was back. She much preferred the man who’d kissed her as if he couldn’t get enough of her taste. Maybe the sexy Anton would return before the night was over. His moods did change frequently. “I thought today would be an exception. This is supposed to be a day of remembrance for Brock.”

“The best way I can honor Brock is to work. He wouldn’t expect anything less.”

She glanced at Anton. He’d worn a dinner jacket and dress slacks. Even his shoes shone. He appeared ready for a night out. “Are we still going to the dinner? Or did you change your mind?”

“We’re expected at the dinner. You don’t skip events like this. I just need to stop at the library first.” Anton looked over at her. One eyebrow rose slightly. “You don’t mind, do you?”

“No. I was just curious.”

Anton nodded, then turned his attention to the path ahead of them. Nyx waited a moment for Anton to say more. Maybe tell her why they were going to the library. Minutes passed. He didn’t so much as look at her again.

Apparently, small talk didn’t fit his mood today. Fine by her. They had more important matters to discuss.

Nyx opened herself to her jaguar, drawing on her cat’s senses. No shifters walked in the woods around them. This would likely be the most privacy they’d share all evening.

“I was hoping we’d be able to sit down and talk about Bianca.” Nyx studied Anton’s profile, watching for any signs of emotion. “If we’re going to find out what happened to her, I need to know what she was to you, if you got along, what you talked about.”

“Bianca was my secretary. We got along…mostly. And we talked about work.”

His expression didn’t change. The word “mostly” triggered her instincts, however.

She narrowed her eyes. “Mostly? What do you mean, mostly?”

“I mean, mostly. When she showed
