Jax still smelled Aerilyn on him when he returned home. If he’d been asked what that smell was, he wouldn’t have been able to describe it. It was more like a feeling. Like the moment the sun broke the horizon at dawn, or how moonlight felt on his fur when he shifted at night.

Man, was he in trouble. The more time he spent with Aerilyn, the more he wanted to. This didn’t fall into line with his nomadic lifestyle. And she couldn’t have been clearer. His freedom was at risk if Alaric sensed anything going on between them. His head told him he needed to remain entanglement free, but his heart and body hungered for her like nothing else.

The memory of her pressed against him remained in his thoughts over the following days when he shifted to release his energy buildup, and when he was busy at work in KT’s shop. He would have to do a better job of controlling himself around her, especially at the party. The purpose was to convince Alaric he wasn’t a threat in more ways than one.

He hated that he actually wanted to go into the city to stand in a room full of people just for her. He supposed there was a first for everything. This was certainly a big one. At least for him.

Jax swore under his breath and pressed his fist against the wall of his trailer. He closed his eyes and told himself it didn’t matter. Who was he trying to impress anyway?

A soft knock came from the other end of the trailer. He pulled on a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of sweats and went to open his door. Outside was KT. Her short gray hair had been brushed into place, and she was clutching her bomber jacket closed.

“Hey, Jax,” she grumbled in her normal gruff way and lifted her chin. “Just seeing if you’ll be coming along with me this afternoon.”

“Oh, uh, Aerilyn invited me to join her family,” he said apologetically and rubbed his neck.

“Don’t blame you one bit. I wouldn’t want to go sit around with some old farts listening to their comments about how lumpy the mashed potatoes are.” She nodded and gave him a crooked smile.

“Yeah, but at least I’d fit in wearing jeans and a flannel with you,” he sighed, glancing back toward his bedroom.

KT frowned. Deep lines formed around her temple and eyes as she mumbled, “It’s
