When Bones ambled into the next flattened spot of grass, Mason didn’t see grizzly fur. Emma stood over them, holding a drool covered black notebook in her hand.

Oh, no. Even with his insistence on bringing along the notebook, he hadn’t considered the fact that to make use of it, he would have to shift back into human form. Which would leave him standing there, completely naked. Because he had left his satchel back by the cars. Like an idiot. It seemed like a supremely bad idea now, no matter what Emma would say about it.

“You gonna stay a porcupine all night, Mason?” She propped one hand on her hip.

Her skin was perfectly tanned, a rich golden color that glowed beneath the fall of her blonde hair that somehow looked no worse for wear than when they had started their journey into the woods. He might have felt better about it if she at least had a leaf or a twig or something stuck in it.

Mason looked around, his immediately searching for a place to shift back. There was a thick trunked tree not too far to his left, and he could shift there, just out of sight. He didn’t know why it was so important, but even without his clothes, he still didn’t want to shift right there in the middle of the clearing. And, it would give Bones a safe place to leave his skull. He would be unbearable if Mason lost it while he was shifted. And Bones had tried so hard to please him. Come on. Over there.

As Bones retreated to the tree, Emma huffed. “You’re not serious. This is ridiculous.”

Mason ignored her. Once they were behind the tree, he shifted back.

Bones wasn’t very happy about it, but he didn’t fight. Though he did make sure Mason knew exactly where the skull was.

“Mason, quit being a prude and just get out here.”

He really didn’t feel comfortable with this. “You sure we can’t just stay shifted?”

“You have ten seconds or I’m letting Mal eat your notebook.”

Fuck. Mason stood up tall and shook himself, trying to imagine himself fully clothed, but too aware of the breeze blowing around his midriff and between his legs. He wished he had his glasses. His vision wasn’t as awful up close, but it occurred to him that when he walked out, things weren’t going to be perfectly clear. Which might work to his benefit, because he wasn’t convinced that he was going to be able to keep his eyes off Emma. He was alert, aware, exhilarated. Alive.

And she was gorgeous.

Dear God, what if he—with Emma there and—oh, Lord. If he popped wood in front of her, he was going to be mortified.

Faking courage, he stepped out from behind the tree.

Emma hadn’t moved, one hand still on her hip, notebook dangling from her fingertips. “It’s about time.”

And that’s all she had to say. That…wasn’t horrible?

Emma gave him a once over, enjoying the view and how uncomfortable her appraisal made him. He was surprisingly hairy, which she didn’t expect.
